NIJ is seeking applications for the funding to maintain and enhance the National Juvenile Justice Data Analysis Program to ensure that vital statistical information is available to the field regarding juvenile risk behaviors, juvenile victimization and offending, and the juvenile justice system’s response to law-violating behavior. These important data inform juvenile justice policy and practice at the federal, state, and local levels. This solicitation will support efforts in assembling juvenile justice-related data sets, analyzing and reporting on complex data and issues, and developing publications and online resources to make juvenile justice data easily accessible to the general public. The successful applicant will also work closely with NIJ and OJJDP to further develop and implement innovative dissemination strategies and tools that facilitate the use of juvenile justice data. This solicitation supports the U.S. Department of Justice’s priority of promoting public safety and reducing crime by producing and disseminating vital statistical information on a range of topics related to juvenile crime, victimization, and justice involvement.
