Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 09 Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2009 1985) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, under CFDA 16.754, also known as the Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. Its central goal is to strengthen a state's ability to collect, manage, and analyze prescription information for controlled substances by supporting a centralized prescription drug monitoring database that is administered by an authorized state agency. In practical terms, the program is meant to help states build or improve the infrastructure and processes needed to monitor prescribing and dispensing patterns, identify potential misuse or diversion, and support coordinated responses from regulatory bodies, law enforcement, and public health officials.
The program traces back to the FY 2002 U.S. Department of Justice Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-77) and has continued to receive funding through subsequent annual appropriations. The focus on a centralized database is key: it reflects the idea that timely, accurate prescription data, gathered in one place and accessible to appropriate authorities, can improve investigations, regulatory oversight, and public health decision-making. While the opportunity summary does not list specific project activities in detail, the stated purpose points to work such as enhancing data collection capabilities, improving analysis and reporting functions, and expanding the practical usefulness of PDMP data for agencies that address controlled substance compliance and abuse trends.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with PDMPs being state-run systems. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, signaling that the program is positioned primarily as a justice and regulatory support tool, even while it is explicitly intended to serve public health objectives as well. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the barrier for states to apply and can make it easier to move forward on technology, data, or operational improvements without needing to secure additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
BJA anticipated making about 20 awards under this solicitation. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $400,000, with an award floor of $0, indicating there was no stated minimum grant size and that awards could vary depending on the scope and strength of applications. The opportunity was posted on December 15, 2008, with a closing date of February 12, 2009, and it was later archived on March 14, 2009. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Chris Casto for technical application support at 202-353-7193.
