About this opportunity

Description Overview All Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) award recipients are required to comply with applicable federal requirements concerning the protection of human subjects and the confidentiality of information identifiable to a private person, consistent with the regulations at 28 CFR Part 46 and 28 CFR Part 22 . Applicants are strongly encouraged to carefully review the information in this section before applying for funding. Applicants for projects that involve the maintenance of identifiable private information about a living individual ( information that is not publicly available and for which a living person has a reasonable expectation that it will not be made public) are required to submit a Human Subjects Protection Certification of Compliance form. Funded projects may require review by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). Data collection for BJS awards involving human subjects may not begin until the appropriate documentation has been provided to and approved by BJS. Award recipients that maintain information identifiable to a private person ( information that is labeled by name or another personal identifier or can, by sample size or other factors, be reasonably interpreted as referring to a particular person or public agency) must submit a Privacy Certificate. Award recipients that work under BJS’s authority to maintain information to complete statistical activities are required to maintain a BJS-approved Data Management Plan (DMP). The DMP provides general project information and describes how the recipient will dispose of the information collected in conjunction with the BJS-funded activities. BJS award recipients must comply with all applicable terms of funding and requirements throughout the award period. Human Subjects Protection Requirements To ensure that human subjects are adequately protected from unreasonable risks and properly informed of the potential harms and benefits from their participation in BJS-funded research, BJS award recipients are required to comply with Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations at 28 CFR Part 46 (Protection of Human Subjects). Applicants and award recipients should review 28 CFR Part 46 to determine their individual project requirements. Guidance to determine whether the project constitutes research involving human subjects Applicants are encouraged to use the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Decision Tree to determine whether the planned research activities involve human subjects and/or require Institutional Review Board (IRB) review. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a Human Subjects Protection Certification of Compliance form to BJS for review as part of their funding application. If an applicant is proposing multiple projects, a separate form must be submitted for each project. All required documentation must be provided to and approved by BJS prior to initiating BJS-funded data collection activities. Guidance regarding required Human Subjects Protection documentation As a condition of funding, BJS award recipients are required to submit the appropriate documentation to BJS prior to initiating BJS-funded data collection activities. The required documentation depends on whether the project meets the requirements for DOJ human subjects protections: Lack of human subjects If the project does not involve human subjects, the award recipient  must submit to BJS appropriate documentation ( Human Subjects Protection Certification of Compliance form with Part III completed to report the project does not involve human subjects or a determination letter from an IRB stating that human subjects are not involved). BJS must approve documentation to support lack of human subjects involvement before data collection activities are initiated. IRB approval
