Grant Description: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is the statistics agency of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). BJS is announcing a public solicitation for the continuation of the Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP) through a Cooperative Agreement. The FJSP serves as the national clearinghouse for federal criminal case processing data - a unique data resource that permits analysis of defendants as they proceed through stages of the federal justice system. Under this program, data are provided by federal justice agencies and are standardized, maintained, analyzed, and archived by recipient. The clearinghouse contains annual data for the years 1994 to 2008. Tasks for the next budget period include receiving 2009 datasets from six federal agencies, converting these data to Standard Analysis File (SAF) format using FJSP processing criteria, and implementing guidelines to ensure data quality and confidentiality. Recipient will also provide technical assistance in using the FJSP data, prepare data and documentation files to support the webbased query system, assist BJS in the creation of new statistical products (e.g., web and/or paper formats), prepare data files with documentation for the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data, and explore adding to the holdings of the clearinghouse.
