Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 10 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, focused on strengthening state-run systems that collect, manage, and analyze prescription information for controlled substances and certain other scheduled listed chemical products. The central goal is to improve the ability of regulatory agencies, law enforcement, and public health officials to use a centralized, state-administered database to identify and respond to diversion, misuse, and other suspicious prescribing and dispensing patterns, while also supporting legitimate medical use and public health monitoring. This program was originally created by the FY 2002 DOJ Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-77) and has been funded in each subsequent appropriations cycle, reflecting an ongoing federal priority to help states build and improve PDMP infrastructure.
Funding is offered under Opportunity Number BJA-2010-2504 within the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity area (CFDA 16.754). Awards can be up to $400,000 per grant, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor is $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means states generally do not need to contribute a required percentage of non-federal funds to be eligible. The opportunity was posted February 2, 2010, with an application deadline of April 1, 2010, and an archive date of May 1, 2010.
Eligible applicants are primarily state governments, but eligibility differs depending on the type of requested grant activity. For planning grants, applicants are limited to state governments that do not yet have enabling statutes or regulations in place. In other words, planning funds are intended for states that still need the legal or regulatory framework necessary to require submission of prescription data to a state authority. For implementation and enhancement grants, applicants must be state governments that already have an enabling statute or regulation requiring the submission of controlled substance prescription data to an authorized state agency. The distinction signals that BJA wanted to support both early-stage states building the foundation for a PDMP and more mature states that are ready to operate, expand, or modernize an existing program.
The announcement also highlights what BJA expects a PDMP to include as part of a robust, fundable approach. Programs should support the required electronic submission of prescription data for drugs in Schedules II, III, IV, and/or V, and may also cover other scheduled listed chemical products. Data submissions should align with commonly recognized data standards, specifically noting consistency with standards established by the American Society for Automation in Pharmacy, which points to a preference for interoperable, high-quality data elements that can be reliably reported and analyzed. The PDMP should provide appropriate access to collected data for federal, state, and local law enforcement and for public health officials, while simultaneously including confidentiality and privacy provisions that protect sensitive prescription information and define permissible uses and safeguards. Another key expectation is that the state PDMP has both the authority and technical capability to exchange information with other state PDMPs, reflecting the practical reality that diversion and patient activity can cross state lines.
A notable FY 2010 priority within the enhancement category is interstate data sharing. Priority consideration is given to applicants proposing to implement information sharing with other state PDMPs during the grant period using the Prescription Monitoring Information Exchange (PMIX) specifications. This emphasis on PMIX suggests BJA was looking for tangible progress toward standardized, secure interstate interoperability, so that authorized users can access relevant out-of-state prescription histories when appropriate, improving situational awareness and reducing opportunities for cross-border doctor shopping or pharmacy hopping.
