The SJS Program is designed to maintain and enhance each state's capacity to address
criminal justice issues through the collection and analysis of data. The program
provides limited funds to coordinate statistical activities within the state, conduct
research to estimate the impacts of legislative and policy changes, and serve as a
liaison role to assist BJS with gathering data from respondent agencies in their
states. Each application for funding under this program must specify the participating
organizations in the state and the particular issues to be addressed. Each year, BJS
announces specific topics for analysis and encourages applicants to give careful
consideration to planning activities that fit within one or more of the designated
topics (see section SJS Program Themes). If a SAC does not feel that any of the
topics are relevant to its state, then it may identify a topic or statistical activity
of critical importance to its jurisdiction.
Deadline: All registrations and applications are due by 5:00 p.m. eastern time on February 6, 2012.
Eligibility: State SACs are the only entities eligible to apply for funds under the SJS program.

BJS-2012-3352
BJS is seeking applications to assist in designing and implementing a new statistical
series that integrates criminal, civil, and regulatory enforcement data to
comprehensively describe the federal response to white collar violations. The project

These data comprise part of the BJS Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP). BJS
receives case-level criminal data from four other federal criminal justice agencies
for the FJSP, as well. The data describe cases in every stage of the federal justice
process, from arrest to imprisonment, for the years 1994-2010. FJSP contains
