Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 10 National Initiatives Addressing Substance Abuse grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2010 2638) was a discretionary funding competition run by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the U.S. Department of Justice. Its central purpose was to support national-level initiatives that strengthen how the criminal justice system functions when confronting substance abuse-related crime. In practical terms, the program was aimed at improving justice system responses where drug and alcohol misuse drive offending, strain courts and corrections, and contribute to recidivism, with an emphasis on approaches that could be applied broadly and help multiple jurisdictions rather than serving only a single local project.
This solicitation was funded through the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program (CFDA 16.751), commonly referred to as the Byrne Competitive Program, and was authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117). The broader Byrne Competitive Program framework is designed to help local communities and state and local justice systems build capacity and improve performance. It supports efforts to prevent or combat juvenile delinquency, assist victims of crime (excluding direct compensation), and carry out national support work such as training and technical assistance that is strategically targeted to local needs. In the context of this FY 2010 announcement, those authorities were leveraged specifically to advance national initiatives connected to substance abuse and its relationship to crime, enforcement, courts, supervision, and corrections.
The funding instrument was a grant, with an announced maximum award amount (ceiling) of up to $1,000,000 and a minimum award amount (floor) listed as $0, which typically signals that award sizes could vary and would be determined based on the proposed scope and the final funding decisions. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although applicants could still propose leveraging other resources if it strengthened the project plan.
Eligibility was fairly broad across the non-governmental and higher education landscape. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher learning, and for-profit (commercial) organizations, with an important restriction for the private sector: for-profit organizations had to agree to waive any profit or service fees. The listing also noted an “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)” category, signaling that the full announcement likely contained further detail or conditions about who could apply and under what circumstances.
Key dates show this was a time-limited FY 2010 competition. The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2010, created April 1, 2010, and closed on May 18, 2010 (with the original and current closing dates the same), and it was archived on June 17, 2010. The opportunity category was discretionary, which indicates awards were made through a competitive review process rather than a formula allocation.
For applicants or stakeholders needing the official requirements, program priorities, and application instructions, the solicitation referenced a “Full Announcement” link for the complete text. Technical assistance for accessing the full announcement electronically was provided through a named contact: Al Roddy, Technical Application Support, at 202-353-1881.
