Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 13 Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2013 3418) is a federal discretionary grant opportunity from the Bureau of Justice Assistance focused on expanding and strengthening adult drug courts. The program is designed to help jurisdictions either start new adult drug courts or enhance existing drug court operations by improving services, coordination among partners, and the overall approach to offender management and long term recovery supports. In practical terms, BJA is looking to fund drug court models that operate in a judicially supervised setting and that bring together treatment and accountability in a structured, coordinated way for substance abusing offenders who fall under the court's jurisdiction.
At the core of the solicitation is the expectation that funded drug courts will be built around evidence based substance use disorder treatment and consistent, mandatory drug testing, with a clear framework of graduated sanctions and incentives to encourage compliance and behavior change. The opportunity also emphasizes transitional services, which commonly include supports that help participants stabilize and reenter the community successfully, such as connections to housing, employment assistance, education, health and behavioral health services, and other recovery oriented resources. The purpose statement ties these elements together by describing drug courts as an integrated model that combines treatment, monitoring, and judicial oversight rather than treating them as separate or loosely coordinated activities.
The grant is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and is issued as a grant (not a contract). BJA anticipated making about 60 awards under this solicitation. While the award floor is listed as 0, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,300,000. The program also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect to contribute matching funds or resources consistent with the solicitation's match rules and documentation requirements.
Eligibility depends on the category of application. For Category 1 (Implementation) and Category 2 (Enhancement), eligible applicants are limited to states, state and local courts, counties, units of local government, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). For Category 3 (Statewide), eligibility is narrower and limited to state level agencies such as the State Administering Agency (SAA), the Administrative Office of the Courts, and the state alcohol and substance abuse agency. The general eligible applicant list also references city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and federally recognized tribal governments, with a note that additional eligibility clarification is provided in the solicitation.
Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted and created on December 18, 2012, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of February 21, 2013.
