to provide OJP, a component of the Department of Justice, with valuable 
advice in the areas of science and statistics for the purpose of 
enhancing the overall impact and performance of its programs and 
activities in criminal and juvenile justice. To this end, the Board 
currently operates with six (6) subcommittees: National Institute of 
Justice (NIJ); Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS); Office of Juvenile 
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP); Bureau of Justice 
Assistance (BJA); Quality and Protection of Science; and Evidence 
Translation/Integration.

DATES: Nominations will be accepted through August 29, 2014.

Officer (DFO), Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Office of 
Justice Programs, 810 7th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20531; 
Phone: (202) 353-9254 [Note: this is not a toll-free number]; Email:

    The Board typically meets twice a year to brief the OJP Assistant 
Attorney General and the Board members on the progress of the 
subcommittees, discuss any recommendations they may have for 
consideration by the full SAB, and brief the Board on various OJP-
related projects and activities. All meetings of the Board take place 
in Washington, DC. The Board is a federal advisory committee covered 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and as such, meetings of the 
Board are open to the public. Members of the Board include scientists 
and practitioners with strong backgrounds of applying science in the 
fields of criminal justice, juvenile justice, or crime victim services.
