Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJS 2021 61001
This grant opportunity, titled "BJS FY 2021 Invited to Apply - FY 2021 2020-2021 Annual Survey of Jails COVID-19 Addendum," is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) effort to fund a single agent to carry out an add-on data collection project focused on how the COVID-19 pandemic affected local jails across the United States during 2020. The work is structured as a continuation opportunity and will be supported through a cooperative agreement, meaning BJS will likely have an active role in guiding or coordinating key parts of the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal involvement.
The central purpose is to gather timely, standardized information about COVID-19 impacts in jails by embedding new questions into the existing 2020 and 2021 Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ). By attaching the COVID-19 addendum to an ongoing national jail survey, BJS aims to reduce the burden on respondents and avoid the extra cost and time that would come with launching a separate standalone collection. In practical terms, the addendum is intended to capture two major types of information: details on COVID-19 testing practices in local jails and data describing month-to-month changes in jail populations during the first year of the pandemic. Together, those measures are meant to help document operational responses and population dynamics in jails during a period of major public health disruption.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number O-BJS-2021-61001 and falls within the "Information and Statistics" activity category. It is associated with CFDA number 16.734 (BJS Statistical Programs), reinforcing that the primary goal is statistical data collection and analysis rather than service delivery or direct programming in facilities. The solicitation indicates an expected total of one award, with an award ceiling of $90,000, signaling a relatively targeted, narrowly scoped effort designed to support a specific component of the ASJ rather than a broad multi-site initiative.
Eligibility is described as "Others," with further clarification typically provided in the full announcement text under an eligibility section, but the enabling language referenced by BJS reflects broad authority to partner with public agencies, colleges and universities, private organizations, or individuals when the purpose is producing criminal justice statistics. The legal authority cited is section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, codified at 34 U.S.C. 10132(c)(1), which authorizes BJS to make grants or enter into cooperative agreements or contracts to collect and analyze criminal justice statistical information.
Key timing details included a creation date of August 5, 2021, and an original closing date of August 11, 2021, indicating a short application window consistent with an "invited to apply" continuation-style action. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused federal statistical support award intended to ensure that the national jail survey infrastructure captures critical COVID-19-era measures, particularly around testing and the rapid shifts in jail populations that occurred during 2020.Apply for O BJS 2021 61001
