What the grant funds
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, BJS seeks to fund the final year of the 2020 Criminal History Record Assessment and Research Program (CHRARP). The awardee will assist BJS with developing a new recidivism study on persons released from federal prison and converting the federal and state-specific fields in the criminal history data into a standardized research database that will support the statistical analysis. The awardee will also continue to support BJS with multivariate data analyses on the recidivism patterns of persons released from prison.
