Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Discretionary Program Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking is a Department of Justice grant opportunity focused on cutting down both access to alcohol and alcohol consumption among U.S. Air Force personnel who are under the legal drinking age of 21. The core idea is to fund and support coordinated efforts between civilian communities and nearby active duty Air Force installations so that underage drinking laws are enforced more consistently and prevention strategies are strengthened where service members live, socialize, and attempt to obtain alcohol. This initiative is tied to the Air Force "Culture of Responsible Choices" program, specifically the underage drinking component, and aims to align community enforcement and prevention work with what bases are implementing internally.
Funding is provided through a discretionary grant mechanism under CFDA 16.727 (Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, with no stated minimum award (award floor of $0), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, which reflects that the program is grounded in enforcement of existing underage drinking laws as well as prevention approaches that have evidence behind them.
A major emphasis of the program is on using research-based and promising practices rather than ad hoc or purely awareness-focused campaigns. In practical terms, this points applicants toward strategies that have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing underage access and use, such as targeted compliance checks, controlled enforcement operations, coordinated penalties for illegal sales or provision, enhanced community policing partnerships, and prevention interventions that address the specific environments where underage service members may be most at risk. The opportunity also stresses collaboration: local civilian communities are expected to work in partnership with active duty Air Force bases, creating a shared approach that reduces the chance that efforts on base are undermined by easy access to alcohol off base.
Eligibility is limited and specifically defined. Only state agencies that are currently designated to administer the EUDL Block Grants Program may apply, including those that already have active EUDL Discretionary Program grants. A list of eligible state agencies was referenced as available through the UDETC website. At the same time, the solicitation excludes states that were already implementing an EUDL/Air Force partnership award at the time: Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Montana were explicitly identified as ineligible and instructed not to apply. This structure suggests the initiative was designed to expand the Air Force-community partnership model into additional states rather than duplicate existing partnerships.
The solicitation was posted on December 31, 2008, with an original closing date of February 24, 2009, and a later extended closing date of May 21, 2009. Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The GMS support hotline details were provided to help applicants handle technical submission issues, including the phone number (1-888-549-9901, option 3) and support hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
The program is administered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and is authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, and the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8). For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, a named program contact was provided: Sharon Cantelon, Social Science Program Specialist (phone 202-616-3658), with an email field referenced in the posting. Overall, the opportunity targets a specific underage drinking challenge within a military-connected population and funds state-administered efforts that mobilize local communities and law enforcement, using evidence-informed approaches and close coordination with Air Force leadership and prevention programming.
