Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2009 Adult Drug Court Research to Practice Initiative was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program authority (42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq.). The core purpose of the initiative was to strengthen adult drug courts by closing the gap between research and day-to-day operations. Rather than funding the direct operation of a local drug court, the emphasis was on taking the most current, evidence-based findings about what works in adult drug courts and translating those findings into practical, field-ready resources that jurisdictions could actually use. BJA partnered with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to ensure that the work was grounded in credible research and then turned into concrete tools for practitioners working with nonviolent, substance-abusing offenders.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on deliverables, providing input on direction, or coordinating dissemination. The activity category fell under Law, Justice, and Legal Services, and the program was tied to CFDA number 16.585 (Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program). Up to five awards were anticipated. Individual awards could be as high as $500,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was broad and included nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, private institutions of higher education, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement also referenced other eligible applicant types with clarification to be provided in the full text. Faith-based and other community organizations were explicitly invited to apply consistent with Executive Order 13279 and 28 C.F.R. Part 38, with DOJ stating that such organizations would be evaluated on the same basis as other applicants and would not be discriminated against or favored due to religious character or affiliation.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on February 2, 2009, with an application closing date of March 26, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on April 25, 2009. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, a technical support contact was provided: Al Roddy, Technical Support, at 202-353-1881.
