About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) within the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is seeking cooperative agreement applications for the State Justice Statistics Program (SJS) for Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs). The program aims to enhance states' capabilities to collect, analyze, and publish criminal justice statistical data that support strategic planning needs and national priorities. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to coordinate statistical activities, conduct research on legislative and policy change impacts, and serve as a liaison for gathering criminal justice data. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's capacity to generate comprehensive reports, develop interactive data dashboards, analyze criminal justice trends, and produce research that can inform policy decisions. The application deadline for this opportunity is February 24, 2026, with submission required through the Office of Justice Programs' Grants Management System or grants.gov.
Federal grant awards under this program typically range from $41,000 to $225,000, with most cooperative agreements spanning 12 months and potential subsequent awards possible under certain circumstances. The program is designed to support all 50 states, with each state's designated Statistical Analysis Center eligible to apply. Projects will be primarily conducted within individual state jurisdictions, with a focus on generating data-driven insights about crime, illegal drugs, victim services, and justice administration. Award recipients will be expected to produce research that promotes civil rights, examines racial equity in criminal justice systems, and supports community safety through comprehensive statistical analysis.
Synopsis
The State Justice Statistics Program (SJS) enhances the Statistical Analysis Centers' (SACs) capabilities to collect, analyze, and publish statistical data that support the states' strategic criminal justice planning needs and BJS and national priorities. The information produced by SACs and their involvement in criminal justice projects is critical to federal, state, and local criminal justice agencies and community organizations as they develop programs and policies related to crime, illegal drugs, victim services, and the administration of justice.
