Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program (IASAP) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to help federally recognized tribal governments address crime and public safety problems connected to alcohol and substance abuse in Indian Country. The program is designed to support tribal communities in building out practical, justice-focused responses that either start new efforts or strengthen existing ones. Alongside funding, IASAP also emphasizes technical assistance, meaning grantees may receive guidance or support aimed at improving planning, implementation, and overall program effectiveness.
IASAP funding is intended for tribes to plan, implement, or enhance tribal justice strategies that respond to alcohol- and drug-related crime issues. A key emphasis is on strategies led by law enforcement, particularly those that focus on controlling and preventing alcohol and substance abuse. In practice, this can include approaches that improve coordination between tribal law enforcement, courts, and service providers; strengthen enforcement and prevention efforts; and build structured, community-informed strategies that reduce the harm associated with alcohol and drug misuse while also addressing the related criminal activity.
This opportunity was posted on January 21, 2009 (created March 2, 2009). The original application closing date was March 21, 2009, but the current closing date was moved up to March 12, 2009.

Individual awards could be as high as $300,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0).
