Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 14 Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, designed to help jurisdictions start new adult drug courts or strengthen and expand the work of drug courts that already exist. The central aim is to improve public safety and reduce recidivism by supporting court-driven responses to substance use disorders among justice-involved adults, with drug courts serving as structured alternatives to traditional case processing for eligible participants.
At its core, this program funds the development and operation of drug courts that bring together several key components in a single, judge-supervised setting. Funded projects are expected to integrate evidence-based substance abuse treatment, routine and mandatory drug testing, and a clear framework of incentives and sanctions that respond quickly and consistently to participant behavior. In addition, the opportunity emphasizes offender management and recovery support services, including transitional services that help participants stabilize and maintain progress as they move through the program and back into the community. The statutory authority for the program is identified as 42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq., and the announcement notes that the term "evidence based" is defined in the full solicitation (referenced as being on page 6).
The opportunity is organized around multiple funding categories that reflect different levels and scopes of activity. Category 1 (Implementation) and Category 2 (Enhancement) are intended for single-jurisdiction drug courts and focus on either launching a new court or improving an existing one through better services, coordination, and recovery supports. Category 3 (Statewide) is aimed at broader, statewide efforts and is limited to state-level agencies that have responsibility or a direct role in courts, criminal justice, and behavioral health service systems. This structure signals that BJA is not only interested in funding individual courts, but also in supporting statewide leadership, coordination, and capacity-building where appropriate.
Eligibility depends on the category. For Implementation and Enhancement (Categories 1 and 2), eligible applicants include states, state and local courts, counties, other units of local government, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments, specifically applying on behalf of a single jurisdiction drug court. For the Statewide category (Category 3), eligible applicants are limited to state agencies such as state court administrative offices, state criminal justice agencies, and other state entities involved in providing substance abuse, mental health, or related services to criminal offenders (examples cited include the State Administering Agency, an Administrative Office of the Courts, and a State Alcohol and Substance Abuse Agency). The listing also broadly reflects eligibility for Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and local governments such as city or township governments, with the solicitation indicating that additional clarifications appear in the full announcement.
From a funding perspective, awards are issued as grants under a law, justice, and legal services assistance category. The posted award ceiling is $1,300,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, which generally indicates that award sizes can vary substantially depending on the applicant category, scope, and what BJA ultimately approves. The program also carries a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to commit qualifying non-federal resources consistent with the solicitation rules. The funding opportunity number is BJA 2014 3779, and the opportunity was posted on January 15, 2014, with an application closing date of March 18, 2014 (and an archive date of April 17, 2014), placing it firmly within the FY 2014 funding cycle.
