Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2020 17612
The Annual Surveys of Probation and Parole 2020-2024 is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) cooperative agreement that funds a single organization to run the nationwide data collection, analysis, and public reporting for BJS's Annual Surveys of Probation and Parole (ASPP) for the 2020 through 2024 collection years. ASPP is actually two coordinated but distinct annual collections: the Annual Probation Survey and the Annual Parole Survey. The work supports one of BJS's long-running core statistical series, in place since 1980, that tracks how many people in the United States are supervised in the community under probation or parole, how those totals change over time, and what drives those changes.
At the center of the project is the responsibility to obtain aggregate counts and related measures from administrative records held by supervision agencies across the country. That includes state probation and parole agencies, a wide range of local agencies (municipal, county, and court-based supervision offices), and the federal system. Because supervision is organized differently across states and localities, the project must operate in a complex reporting environment where agencies vary widely in size, governance structure, staffing capacity, and data systems. The intent is not only to keep the annual series going, but to improve the reliability, quality, and representativeness of the data so that national and state estimates accurately reflect the full community supervision population.
The opportunity highlights why ASPP matters in the broader correctional statistics ecosystem. ASPP provides the only national-level data series focused specifically on community supervision, describing the size of probation and parole populations, year-to-year changes, movements onto and off supervision, outcomes of supervision, and key characteristics of those supervised. When combined with the National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) Program (state and federal prison counts) and the Annual Survey of Jails (local jail counts), ASPP data help BJS estimate the total number of adults under correctional control in the United States. Together, these collections are used to monitor how correctional populations rise or fall over time and to better understand the flow of individuals through incarceration, community supervision, and eventual exit from the correctional system.
The solicitation underscores that community supervision represents the largest segment of the adult correctional population. As an illustration of scale, it notes that at yearend 2013 more than 4.75 million adults were under community supervision (about 3.9 million on probation and more than 850,000 on parole), and that roughly 7 in 10 adults under correctional supervision lived in the community rather than in prisons or jails. That context is used to justify the need for strong annual measurement: even modest percentage changes in probation or parole totals can represent large numbers of people and can significantly affect national correctional population estimates and policy discussions.
Funding for the award is structured in phases. The initial award covers the first three years of work, with the final two years expected to be funded only after successful completion of the 2020 to 2022 data. In practice, this means the recipient must demonstrate performance and deliverables early, including completed collections and credible data products, to unlock continuation support for the remaining 2023 and 2024 collection years.
Administratively, this is a discretionary Department of Justice award issued by BJS as a cooperative agreement, reflecting an expectation of substantial involvement by BJS in guiding the project. The funding opportunity number is BJS 2020 17612, the CFDA number is 16.734, and the program planned to make one award with an award ceiling of $1,750,000. The solicitation was created February 14, 2020, with an original closing date of April 21, 2020. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification in the full solicitation text.
The legal authority cited for the program is Section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which authorizes BJS to make grants or enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with public agencies, higher education institutions, private organizations, or individuals to collect and analyze criminal justice statistics. The solicitation further notes that BJS issues it under 34 U.S.C. 10132.Apply for BJS 2020 17612
