Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 11 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring National Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), focused on strengthening prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) across the country by funding a national provider (or providers) to deliver training and hands-on technical assistance. This effort exists specifically to support the broader Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Discretionary Grant Program, a long-running federal initiative created under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-77) and funded repeatedly through later appropriations. By the time of this FY 2011 solicitation, BJA had already awarded PDMP-related grants to 47 states and one U.S. territory, and this national training and technical assistance award is designed to help those grantees, and other state agencies, improve how they plan, launch, expand, and refine their PDMP systems and strategies.
At its core, the opportunity is about providing expert support at a national scale rather than directly funding a state PDMP build-out. BJA is looking for an organization with demonstrated, practical expertise in PDMP development and enhancement to serve as a resource hub for jurisdictions working on prescription drug monitoring. The selected provider is expected to help agencies identify and apply effective approaches for PDMP planning and implementation, troubleshoot operational and policy challenges, and share promising practices that can increase program effectiveness. The solicitation also emphasizes the importance of being able to broker and deliver technical assistance, meaning the provider should be capable of assessing needs, matching jurisdictions with the right subject-matter expertise, delivering training products, and coordinating support in a way that complements BJAs other training and technical assistance efforts. BJA signals a preference for applicants that are willing to collaborate with other BJA-supported training and technical assistance providers rather than operating in isolation.
The award falls under CFDA number 16.754, Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, within the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more accessible because applicants are not required to bring additional non-federal funds to the table. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $700,000, and the minimum award amount (floor) is listed as $0, reflecting that BJA may make an award up to the ceiling depending on proposal quality, scope, and available funds.
Eligibility is intentionally broad but still specialized. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed among eligible applicant categories). However, the narrative eligibility guidance makes clear that applicants must have demonstrated expertise helping states develop, implement, or enhance PDMPs. This is not a general training grant; BJA is looking for a provider with real experience in PDMP operations, PDMP-related policy and program design, and the mechanics of delivering multi-jurisdictional technical assistance. A key condition applies to for-profit applicants: they must agree to waive any profit or management fees, reinforcing that federal dollars should be used for direct program support rather than profit-taking.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on April 4, 2011, with an application closing date of May 19, 2011, and an archive date of June 18, 2011. Applicants needing help with electronic submission were directed to Grants.gov support (including the customer support hotline and email), and the full announcement was available via an additional information link in the original posting.
