Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL14GR0012, posted April 15, 2014) was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) as part of its demand-reduction work connected to Mexico's national efforts to prevent violence and crime. The underlying policy context is Mexico's emphasis on addressing the root causes of violence through the multi-agency National Violence and Crime Prevention Program. In that setting, INL sought to fund applied research that could be used quickly in real clinical environments, with the practical goal of reducing the likelihood that young participants will engage in illegal drug use and related criminal behavior.
At its core, the opportunity focuses on developing, implementing, and evaluating a psychosocial treatment model specifically for juveniles who use illegal drugs. The emphasis on a "psychosocial model" signals an approach that goes beyond purely medical or punitive responses and instead targets behavioral, social, and environmental factors that shape youth substance use and risk behavior. The grant is framed as applied research, meaning applicants were expected to produce evidence that can inform real-world treatment practice, not just academic findings. INL also linked this work to broader research infrastructure it had already supported in Mexico, including a network of clinical trial "nodes" intended to foster coordinated research and speed the translation of results into clinical settings.
The announcement also highlights related INL-funded research activity on the U.S.-Mexico border: a binational prevalence study designed to better understand consumption patterns among Hispanic populations on both sides of the border. By referencing that study, the opportunity signals that proposed work should be informed by observed drug-use patterns and local realities, and that it should contribute to an evidence base useful for practitioners and policymakers working in cross-border or culturally connected settings.
This was a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 19.704 (Counter Narcotics). INL anticipated making up to 10 awards, with a stated total estimated funding amount of $2,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $200,000 up to a ceiling of $2,000,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers barriers to participation for research organizations and universities that may not have flexible funds to contribute.
Eligibility was limited to higher education and research institutions rather than commercial entities. Eligible applicants included (a) U.S.-based colleges, universities, or research institutions that meet 501(c)(3) requirements, and (b) non-U.S. educational or research organizations that are legally registered in their home country. The notice explicitly excluded commercial organizations and public international organizations, reinforcing that the intended implementers were academic or nonprofit research bodies capable of conducting clinical or program evaluation work.
Key administrative dates show this was a time-limited competition: it opened April 15, 2014, closed May 15, 2014, and was archived June 14, 2014. The listed point of contact for access issues was Cheryl Price, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-776-8532 (with an email field indicated but not fully provided in the excerpt).
