Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 15 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), focused on strengthening state and tribal systems that track controlled substance prescriptions. The core goal is to improve how regulatory agencies, law enforcement, and public health officials collect, manage, and analyze prescription data for controlled substances (and certain other scheduled chemical products) using a centralized database run by an authorized state agency. By supporting these databases and the ways they are used, the program aims to help jurisdictions identify and reduce prescription drug misuse and diversion, improve oversight of prescribing and dispensing practices, and support data-informed public safety and public health responses. The PDMP program traces back to the FY 2002 DOJ Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-77) and has continued to receive funding through subsequent appropriations.
This specific funding announcement is identified as Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2015-4189 under CFDA 16.754 (Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program). The opportunity was posted on April 2, 2015, with an application closing date of May 28, 2015, and an archive date of June 27, 2015. Awards could be as high as $750,000, 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 can make participation more feasible for agencies that do not have dedicated funds available to meet match requirements.
Eligibility depends on which of the program categories an applicant is pursuing, and the announcement distinguishes four categories with different applicant limitations. Category 1, PDMP Implementation and Enhancement Grants, is limited to state governments that have a pending or enacted enabling statute or regulation that requires submission of controlled substance prescription data to an authorized state agency. In practice, this category supports either building a PDMP where the legal structure is in place (or nearly in place) or enhancing an existing system to improve functionality, data completeness, and overall performance. Category 2, PDMP Practitioner and Research Partnerships, is limited to state agencies and units of local government located in states where a PDMP is already existing and operational; this category emphasizes expanding practical use of PDMP data through partnerships, including engagement with practitioners and research-oriented activities that can translate data into improved clinical or policy outcomes. Category 3, Data Driven Multi-Disciplinary Approaches to Reducing Rx Abuse Grants, is limited to state agencies and units of county government in states with operational PDMPs; the focus here is on coordinated, multi-sector strategies that use PDMP and related data to drive interventions aimed at reducing prescription drug abuse and diversion. Category 4, Tribal Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Data Sharing Grants, is reserved for federally recognized Indian tribal governments as defined under the Indian Self-Determination Act (25 U.S.C. 450b(e)), and centers on enabling or expanding data-sharing connections that allow tribes to access PDMP information consistent with applicable law and governance requirements.
More broadly, the opportunity sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and is structured to support both the technical backbone of PDMPs (centralized data collection and analysis) and the real-world workflows that make the data useful (information sharing, practitioner engagement, research partnerships, and cross-disciplinary enforcement and public health strategies). The emphasis on a centralized database administered by an authorized state agency reflects the program’s intent to create a reliable, standardized source of prescription monitoring information that can be queried and analyzed to detect risky patterns, identify possible diversion, and support timely interventions.
For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance, the announcement directs technical submission questions to Grants.gov customer support, available by phone at 800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035, or by email at support@grants.gov, with 24/7 availability except federal holidays. The full solicitation details, including category-specific requirements and any required attachments or programmatic priorities, were provided through the full announcement link referenced in the posting.
