BJS FY 2026 State Justice Statistics Program for Statistical Analysis Centers

Bureau of Justice Statistics · O-BJS-2026-172687 · Deadline: September 22, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $225k

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 16.550, State Justice Statistics Program for Statistical Analysis Centers), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $98k against a $225k ceiling (44%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 80 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.

Listing summary

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.
