Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools Grants To Reduce Alcohol Abuse (CFDA 84.184A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help local educational agencies strengthen how they address underage drinking in secondary schools. The core purpose is straightforward: provide funding so eligible school districts can develop and carry out innovative, effective programs that reduce alcohol abuse among middle and high school students, with an emphasis on approaches that can demonstrate real, measurable impact. The synopsis notes that the authoritative requirements and priorities are in the official Federal Register notice, and applicants are expected to rely on that notice for the full rules, performance measures, and submission instructions.
Eligibility is limited to local educational agencies (LEAs), and this includes charter schools when they qualify as LEAs under state law. A key restriction is that the Department limited this particular competition to LEAs that did not already have an active grant under the same “Grants to Reduce Alcohol Abuse†program. In this context, “active†is defined broadly: a grant remains active until the project or funding period ends, including any approved extensions that continue the grantee’s authority to obligate funds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants are not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of receiving funds.
The funding details indicate an estimated total of $3,311,000 available for this competition, with an expected nine awards. The program falls under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities National Programs line (CFDA 84.184), specifically the alcohol abuse reduction component (84.184A). The opportunity was posted on March 2, 2010, with applications made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was April 16, 2010. The archive date is May 16, 2010, reflecting that this was a time-limited FY 2010 competition.
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically through the Department’s e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes it clear that applicants could not submit by emailing an electronic copy of the application; instead, they were expected to enter and save information directly into the online system, where it is stored in a database as the application is built and finalized. For applicants, this typically implies planning ahead for account setup, data entry, and system submission well before the deadline, since the submission method is fixed to the platform.
For official guidance beyond the synopsis, the opportunity points applicants to the “Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010†as the complete reference for requirements such as application components, any program priorities, selection criteria, and performance reporting expectations. The listing also provides contacts for support: Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Administrator) for access or technical issues with the announcement, and Nicole A. White as the program manager at the U.S. Department of Education for program-related questions.
