Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 13 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2013-3526) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under CFDA 16.754. Its central aim is to strengthen how states, tribes, and certain local partners collect, manage, and use prescription data for controlled substances and other scheduled chemical products. At its core, the program supports a centralized database run by an authorized state agency, designed so that regulatory bodies, law enforcement, and public health officials can better analyze prescribing and dispensing activity, identify suspicious patterns, and inform responses to prescription drug misuse and diversion. The program traces back to the FY 2002 DOJ Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-77) and has continued to receive annual appropriations since then.
This FY 2013 solicitation was posted on March 7, 2013, with an application deadline of May 2, 2013, and an archive date of June 1, 2013. Awards could be as large as $400,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is structured around three distinct grant categories, each tied to a specific type of applicant and PDMP readiness level. Category 1, Implementation and Enhancement Grants, is limited to state governments that either have a pending or enacted enabling statute or regulation requiring the submission of controlled substance prescription data to an authorized state agency. In practical terms, this category targets states that are building a PDMP from the ground up or upgrading an existing program, but where the statutory or regulatory backbone for required data submission is already in motion or established. Category 2, Tribal Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Data Sharing Grants, is limited to federally recognized tribal governments as defined by the Indian Self-Determination Act (25 U.S.C. 450b(e)), focusing on improving tribal participation in PDMP-related data sharing so that tribal communities are not left out of statewide or regional monitoring efforts. Category 3, Data-Driven Multi-Disciplinary Approaches to Reducing Rx Abuse Grants, is geared toward state agencies (including health departments and law enforcement authorities) and units of county government, but only in states that already have an existing and operational PDMP. That design signals an emphasis on using PDMP information in coordinated, cross-sector strategies, where data can be translated into prevention, enforcement, clinical, and public health interventions.
Across all categories, the underlying purpose is capacity building: improving the ability to capture prescription information in a consistent and timely way, maintain it in a secure statewide system, and analyze it to support decision-making. The emphasis on regulatory, law enforcement, and public health users reflects the program’s multi-use intent: PDMPs are not just investigative tools, but also public health surveillance and clinical support resources when properly governed and integrated. While the solicitation text provided here does not list specific allowable activities, the program’s framing strongly implies support for efforts that expand data collection and analytical capability, strengthen interagency coordination, and improve the practical utility of PDMP information for reducing misuse, diversion, and related harms.
For applicants and administrators, the public-facing support details highlight two basic points of contact. For problems accessing the full announcement, the notice instructs users to contact the program’s listed assistance channel in the full posting. For application submission and technical issues through Grants.gov, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or support@grants.gov.
