• Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
• Eligibility is restricted to existing individual Juvenile Drug Courts that have demonstrated relationships and agreements with existing community based substance abuse treatment providers in order to create the necessary networks to successfully implement these grants. Juvenile Drug Courts are the only eligible entities for this program because such courts are the catalysts for juveniles involved in the criminal justice system to enter a drug court program. Although public and private nonprofit organizations have a pivotal supporting role in drug court programs and may be sub recipients/contractors to the applicant, they are not the catalysts for entry into drug court and are restricted from applying. Funding is intended to serve individual drug courts, although some States/Counties have restrictions prohibiting individual courts from applying for this type of funding. Only if there is a formal legislative, administrative, or policy restriction preventing an individual court from applying for a grant or legally administering grant or treatment funds can the State or County apply for this grant. In those cases, the State, County, or designated subunit of government (e.g., county probation department, district attorney s office, or pretrial services agency) will be the award recipient, the entity responsible for satisfying the grant requirements and must provide the documentation of the restriction that prohibits the individual court from applying in Appendix 7 of the application. Designated subunits of government must also submit an authorization letter from the State or County in Appendix 7 of the application. Under this program, grantees will receive two separate awards OJJDP will fund the juvenile drug court component and CSAT will fund the substance abuse treatment component. Please note that OJJDP will make a one time award, up to 425,000, per grantee for the entire four year grant period, while CSAT will make annual awards, up to 200,000, per grantee for each year of the four year grant period. A match is required for the OJJDP award. Therefore, grantees must have a system in place to track substance abuse treatment and juvenile drug court grant fund expenditures separately.
