Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools grant opportunity titled "Building State Capacity for Preventing Youth Substance Use and Violence" (CFDA 84.184W) is a competitive, discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education. Its core aim is to strengthen what State educational agencies (SEAs) can do to prevent youth substance use and violence, and to help those SEAs work more effectively with other State-level agencies that share responsibility for addressing these issues. The program is designed around the idea that schools and districts are more likely to create and maintain safe, healthy learning environments when the State has strong infrastructure, coordinated partnerships, and sustained capacity to support local efforts over time.
Funding under this opportunity is specifically intended to enhance State-level capacity to assist local educational agencies (LEAs) as they plan, implement, and sustain approaches that promote safe and drug-free school environments. In practical terms, this means the money is not simply for isolated activities; it is meant to build systems and supports at the State level that make local prevention work stronger, more consistent, and more durable. The notice emphasizes collaboration, signaling that SEAs are expected to coordinate with other relevant State agencies involved in prevention, which could include health, mental health, juvenile justice, substance abuse prevention, or public safety partners, depending on how a State organizes those functions.
Eligibility is limited to State educational agencies. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, which generally lowers the barrier to applying because applicants do not need to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The Department anticipated making about 45 awards. Total estimated funding for the competition is approximately $8,000,000, with individual awards expected to range from $125,000 (floor) to $250,000 (ceiling). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is education. The opportunity is listed under the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities National Programs (CFDA 84.184).
Key dates for the 2010 cycle were also provided. Applications became available on April 23, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 7, 2010. The posting date is April 27, 2010, and the archive date is July 7, 2010. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-042310-001.
Applicants were encouraged to submit electronically using the Department of Education's e-Application system through the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). For technical issues related to electronic submission, the e-Application Helpdesk was provided at 1-888-336-8930.
