Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 14 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring National Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), designed to support and strengthen the broader Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Discretionary Grants Program. At its core, this opportunity is not aimed at building a single state PDMP directly, but at funding a national-level provider that can deliver training and technical assistance to PDMP grantees and other state agencies. The goal is to help states plan, implement, improve, and expand prescription drug monitoring programs in ways that are practical, effective, and aligned with public safety and public health needs.
The PDMP effort itself focuses on improving the ability of regulatory agencies, law enforcement, and public health officials to collect, store, and analyze data on controlled substance prescriptions (and certain other scheduled chemical products) through a centralized database managed by an authorized state agency. This federal program traces back to the FY 2002 Department of Justice Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-77) and has continued to receive funding in subsequent appropriations, reflecting an ongoing national priority around prescription drug misuse, diversion, and the associated impacts on communities. In this context, the TTA provider funded under this solicitation is expected to serve as a knowledgeable national resource that can help states translate grant funding and policy goals into working PDMP capabilities and operational strategies.
Funding is offered under Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2014-3825, within the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category, and is associated with CFDA 16.754 (Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program). The award ceiling is listed as $1,200,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on March 11, 2014, and closed on May 6, 2014, with an archive date of June 5, 2014. The funding instrument is a grant, and the solicitation is categorized as discretionary, meaning awards are made competitively based on merit and alignment with program objectives rather than by formula.
Eligibility is targeted to organizations that can credibly demonstrate expertise in PDMP development and enhancement and in delivering technical assistance at scale. Eligible applicants include for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status), faith-based and community organizations, and institutions of higher education, including tribal institutions of higher education. The solicitation also lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses as eligible applicant categories. A key condition for commercial entities is that they must agree to waive any profit or management fees, reinforcing that the funding is intended to maximize programmatic value rather than vendor profit. BJA also signals a preference for applicants with deep knowledge of PDMP operations, strong experience brokering and delivering technical assistance, and a willingness to coordinate with other BJA training and technical assistance providers, which implies an expectation of collaboration and integration across related justice and public health support efforts.
In practical terms, the selected provider would be expected to help states and PDMP stakeholders develop effective strategies across the PDMP lifecycle, including planning, implementation, and enhancement. While the notice does not itemize specific deliverables in the excerpt provided, the emphasis on national-level TTA typically implies activities such as developing guidance and best practices, delivering trainings and workshops, providing one-on-one consultation to states, supporting stakeholder engagement across law enforcement, regulatory boards, and public health agencies, and helping states address common operational challenges such as data collection and quality, governance models, legal and policy barriers, user access workflows, and analytical use of PDMP data. The unifying theme is capacity-building: helping states make PDMPs more functional, more actionable, and more aligned with the mission of preventing diversion and misuse while supporting legitimate medical use and public safety objectives.
Administrative and applicant support details are also provided. Applicants seeking help with electronic access to the full announcement are directed to contact the program, while technical help for submitting applications is routed through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or support@grants.gov. The Grants.gov hotline is available 24/7 except on federal holidays, reflecting the standard federal submission support structure for competitive grant applications.
