This program furthers the Department's mission by providing grants and cooperative agreements for research and evaluation activities to organizations that OJJDP designates.
The National Juvenile Justice Data Analysis Program provides OJJDP with a central, primary source of statistical data and analyses that informs the juvenile justice field concerning critical issues. The proposed project will take advantage of existing juvenile justice databases to produce empirical information on a range of topics and disseminating this information to diverse audiences in a variety of formats:
1. Maintain the Statistical Briefing Book (SBB) and update/expand the Statistical Briefing Book and its Easy Access family of data analysis tools,
2. Develop new online data analysis tools,
3. Develop new SBB FAQs,
4. Develop user-friendly tutorials/guides to help users navigate the SBB,
5. Prepare publications and promote the project, including conducting original research, producing publications, and promoting the project at conferences,
6. Service information requests, respond to OJJDP and non-OJJDP information requests,

This program furthers the Department's mission by providing grants and cooperative agreements for research and evaluation activities to organizations that OJJDP designates.
Since 1990, the National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ), the research arm of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ), has worked with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to advance the Offices roles as data collector and disseminator of juvenile justice statistics. The National Juvenile Justice Data Analysis Program provides OJJDP with a central, primary source of statistical data and analyses that informs the juvenile justice field concerning critical issues. This project has significantly improved the landscape of juvenile justice statistical information available nationwide by creating a data dissemination infrastructuretools that are indispensable resources for informed policy decision making. This has required NCJJ to develop current information that supports a wide range of needs and to disseminate information in a range of formats and technical skill levels. The proposed project will continue to address OJJDPs information needs in a cost-efficient manner, taking advantage of existing databases to produce empirical information on a range of topics and disseminating this information to diverse audiences in a variety of formats.
Note: This project contains a research and/or development component, as defined in applicable law.
