Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 11 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), focused on strengthening state-level prescription drug monitoring efforts. Its central goal is to improve how regulatory agencies, law enforcement, and public health officials collect, manage, and analyze data on prescriptions for controlled substances (and certain other scheduled chemical products) by supporting or expanding a centralized statewide database that is run by an authorized state agency. In practical terms, the program is meant to help states build or enhance a PDMP so that suspicious prescribing and dispensing patterns can be identified more quickly, diversion can be reduced, and decision-makers have better information to support investigations and public health responses.
This program traces back to the FY 2002 Department of Justice Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-77), which created the Harold Rogers PDMP, and BJA has received funding for it each year since its first appropriation in 2002. The announcement also notes an important parallel program created later: the National All Schedules Prescription Electronic Reporting Act of 2005 (NASPER), signed into law on August 11, 2005. NASPER established a separate formula grant program for state prescription monitoring programs administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). States are allowed to participate in both the BJA Harold Rogers PDMP program and the SAMHSA NASPER program at the same time, but applicants are cautioned that each program may have different requirements and funding priorities (the notice indicates that a comparison document is attached in the full materials).
From a grants management standpoint, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2011-2983 and falls within the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category. It uses the standard grant funding instrument, and BJA anticipated making about 45 awards. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.754 (Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program). The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2011, with an application deadline of May 19, 2011, and it was later archived on June 18, 2011. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is stated as $400,000, while the minimum award amount (floor) is listed as $0, which generally signals that award sizes can vary widely based on need, project scope, and available appropriations. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of funding under this announcement.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, but the specific category a state can apply under depends on whether it already has the legal authority in place to require submission of controlled substance prescription data to the state. The solicitation describes three grant categories tied to a state PDMP maturity level. Planning Grants (Category 1) are limited to states that do not yet have an enabling statute or regulation requiring data submission to an authorized state agency; these grants are meant to help states prepare for establishing a PDMP framework. Implementation Grants (Category 2) and Enhancement Grants (Category 3) are limited to states that already have an enabling statute or regulation in place requiring the submission of controlled substance prescription data to the authorized state agency; these are geared toward launching a program where the legal foundation exists (implementation) or improving capabilities where a PDMP is already operating (enhancement). The announcement also clarifies a key timing issue: states with pending legislation or regulations may apply for an implementation grant, but BJA will not make an implementation award unless the required legislation or regulations are actually in place at the time BJA makes funding decisions.
The overall emphasis of the FY 11 Harold Rogers PDMP solicitation is capacity-building for statewide data collection and analysis through a centralized system, with the intent that the information supports both public safety and public health objectives. While the short description does not list specific allowable costs or deliverables, the program purpose makes clear that funded activities are expected to strengthen the infrastructure, processes, and analytical usefulness of prescription monitoring data, especially in ways that help authorized agencies detect misuse, diversion, and other problematic prescribing or dispensing trends.
For access to the complete announcement, applicants were directed to the full posting via the Additional Information link. For submission and technical issues, the notice points to Grants.gov support through the customer support hotline at 800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov, which is the standard federal application support channel for electronic submissions.
