FY 2026 Consolidated National Criminal History Improvement Program
1. BASIC INFORMATION
Purpose of the Funding
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis.
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJS FY2026 Consolidated National Criminal History Improvement Program. This opportunity seeks to provide grants to assist states, state court systems, territories, and federally recognized tribes under the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP), the National Criminal History Improvement Program Supplemental Funding (NCHIPSF) under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Act Record Improvement Program (NARIP). Funds are used to improve the accuracy, utility, and interstate accessibility of criminal history and related records in support of national record systems and their use for name- and fingerprint-based criminal history background checks. Funding is also made available for updating the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI's) National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) with certain mental health, protection and restraining order, domestic violence conviction, and other criminal history record information which may disqualify individuals from purchasing or possessing firearms.
BJS invites applications from states, state courts, and tribes that propose projects that directly address one or more of the five (5) areas identified below. Applicants should submit one application for funding.
1. Automation and Completeness of Criminal History Records: Updating, automating, and linking arrests, fingerprints, and case outcomes from courts and prosecutors in state or tribal record systems and the FBI’s Criminal History File.
Examples of allowable activities include:
• Implementing or upgrading state, local, or tribal court record systems that facilitate immediate identification of disposition records, provided that the records are made accessible for criminal history record inquiries at the state and national levels;
• Implementing improved procedures for capturing criminal history information, including complete arrest reporting and researching missing dispositions, provided that the captured data are subsequently included in relevant state and federal files;
• Capturing complete data from prosecutors and courts on misdemeanor convictions of domestic violence;
U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Statistics | 3
FY 2026 Consolidated National Criminal History Improvement Program • Reducing any backlog of missing court dispositions, provided that the dispositions are made available for criminal history inquiries at the state and national levels;
• Converting manual or other non-automated criminal history records to electronic records, provided they are available for criminal history inquiries at the state and national level;
• Upgrading equipment to directly improve the availability of data where appropriate, given the level of data completeness and participation in national record systems. (The ongoing or maintenance costs associated with any such equipment are allowable only during the initial 12-month period.); • Purchasing Livescan equipment for local agencies (1) where the funds can be justified on the basis of geographic, population, traffic, or related factors and (2) when the jurisdiction has established an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and either has implemented or is implementing procedures to ensure that the AFIS is compatible with FBI Next Generation Identification (NGI) standards. (The ongoing or maintenance costs associated with any such equipment are allowable only during the initial 12-month period.); and • Ensuring compatibility with federal record systems, such as III, and implementing integrated system strategies that interface all components of the criminal justice system, including law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, and corrections, to the extent that such expenditures improve the availability of criminal record data at the national level. Any systems funded must be compatible with FBI standards for national data systems, such as NIBRS, NCIC, NICS, and NGI. However, program funds may not be used to support studies, analysis, design, or development of integrated system strategies. Funds should not be used to primarily improve law enforcement investigative capabilities associated with NGI participation (e.g., latent workstations, palm-print capture, facial recognition, and DNA capture).
2. Full Participation in NICS: Improving access to information concerning persons prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm and transmitting relevant records to NICS. Examples of allowable activities include:
• Identifying and developing access to data on persons prohibited from firearm purchases under the Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C. § 922), as amended by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (P.L. 103–159);
• Participating in the FBI’s Identification for Firearms Sales program, which is a system for flagging III records for the immediate and accurate identification of convicted felons; and
• Enabling the state to serve as a point of contact (POC) under the NICS system (including related costs of equipment, software, personnel training, and development and implementation of related operating and administrative procedures). However, funds may not be used to cover ongoing costs of presale firearm background checks but may be used for costs associated with capturing dispositions in response to a specific NICS inquiry (provided that the captured U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Statistics | 4
FY 2026 Consolidated National Criminal History Improvement Program data are entered into the automated state and FBI systems, thus serving to upgrade the permanent quality of the record systems).
3. Full Participation in the Interstate Identification Index (III): Supporting participation in the III and National Fingerprint File (NFF), including adoption and implementation of the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact. Examples of allowable activities include:
• Paying reasonable costs associated with the adoption and implementation of the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact (Compact), including costs associated with state review and enactment of the Compact, and the development and implementation of procedures (including purchase of equipment and development of software) necessary to facilitate operations pursuant to Compact protocols, including those relating to participation in the FBI’s NFF;
• Automating criminal record databases;
• Synchronizing records between the state and the FBI;
• Developing software and hardware necessary to enable electronic access to state records on an intrastate or interstate basis.
4. Automation and Reporting of Relevant Juvenile Records: Improving access and reporting of adult and juvenile dispositions and mental health submissions to NICS.
Examples of allowable activities include:
• Implementing or upgrading state, local, or tribal court record systems that facilitate immediate identification of disposition records (including relevant juvenile records that would prohibit the purchase or possession of firearms, where permissible under state or tribal law), provided that the records are made accessible for criminal history record inquiries at the state and national levels. • Converting juvenile records to the adult system (federal regulations allow the FBI to accept juvenile records if submitted by the state or local arresting agency). • Replacing or updating aging juvenile record systems to ensure the timely transfer of critical information for NICS reporting, where permissible under state or tribal law.
5. Record Sealing and Expungement: Supporting efforts to seal and expunge criminal history information in accordance with state laws and policies. Examples of allowable activities include:
• Implementing or upgrading systems to automate processes for sealing and expunging criminal history information. (Note: states that have ratified or signed on to the Compact (34 U.S.C. § 40316) and wish to use these funds to automate processes for the sealing of records must ensure that such sealing occurs pursuant to a court order related to a particular subject or pursuant to a federal or state statute that requires action on a sealing petition filed by a particular record subject.)
