Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 13 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under CFDA 16.593 (Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners). It supports the broader Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program authorized at 42 U.S.C. 3796ff et seq., which focuses on helping states and local governments develop and implement effective substance use disorder treatment services inside state, local, and tribal correctional and detention facilities, while also strengthening community-based aftercare and reentry supports that continue once individuals return to the community.
The core purpose of this particular FY 2013 funding opportunity is not to directly operate treatment beds or fund local treatment slots, but to provide training and technical assistance that helps RSAT grant recipients improve the quality and effectiveness of their existing programs. The emphasis is on helping recipient agencies integrate evidence-based practices into residential substance abuse treatment programming within correctional settings. In practical terms, this means supporting corrections and treatment professionals with guidance, structured training, curricula delivery, and hands-on technical assistance that can improve program design, implementation, and enhancement, especially where agencies are trying to align their work with approaches that research has shown to be effective.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2013 3475) was posted on January 10, 2013, with an application deadline of March 11, 2013, and an archive date of April 10, 2013. Awards were offered as grants, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and no stated award floor. 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 targeted to organizations capable of delivering high-quality training and technical assistance rather than to state administering agencies alone. Eligible applicants include for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations), and institutions of higher learning (both public/state-controlled and private). Applicants are expected to demonstrate clear expertise in supporting correctional agencies with residential substance abuse treatment programs, including knowledge of evidence-based substance use disorder treatment practices, experience working in correctional environments, and an ability to deliver curricula and technical assistance to corrections and treatment professionals. BJA also signals a preference for applicants with strong experience in evidence-based programming and the practical realities of implementing these models in secure facilities.
Collaboration is a notable expectation in this solicitation. Applicants are asked to show a willingness to work closely with BJA, federal partners, and a broader collaborative of BJA training and technical assistance providers. This suggests BJA intended the TTA provider to fit into an existing national support infrastructure, coordinate with other federally supported providers, and contribute to consistent messaging and improved outcomes across RSAT-funded sites. The solicitation also allows consortiums or collaborative provider teams to apply, recognizing that strong TTA may require multiple areas of expertise (for example, clinical treatment models, correctional operations, reentry planning, and implementation support).
A special condition applies to for-profit entities: they must agree to waive any profit or fees for services. In effect, the work must be performed on a no-profit basis, aligning the project with public-purpose service delivery rather than commercial gain.
For applicants needing help with submission logistics, the announcement directs technical application questions to Grants.gov Customer Support (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) and the email support@grants.gov, reflecting the standard federal grant submission channel and assistance pathway for application issues.
