Opportunity Summary:

The OJJDP FY 09 Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Training and Technical Assistance grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2204) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention designed to strengthen how states and local communities enforce underage drinking laws. The core purpose is not to fund direct enforcement operations themselves, but to fund a national or lead provider that can deliver practical training and hands-on technical assistance to the state and local EUDL programs and to other entities identified by Congress or the Office of Justice Programs. The overall focus is preventing people under 21 from obtaining, purchasing, possessing, or consuming alcohol by improving the capacity, coordination, and effectiveness of enforcement and prevention strategies at the community level.

The opportunity builds on a training and technical assistance initiative that has been in place since 1998. Through this initiative, the selected awardee is expected to support state and local efforts that target both sides of the underage drinking problem: the illegal sale of alcohol to minors (for example, retail compliance and sales practices) and the illegal purchase and consumption of alcohol by minors (for example, party enforcement, deterrence strategies, and community enforcement partnerships). Because the solicitation emphasizes assistance "as directed by Congress or the Office of Justice Programs," the work is meant to be responsive and service-oriented, adapting to emerging needs, priorities, and requests coming from federal leadership and grantees in the field.

Funding is offered as a grant with an award ceiling of up to 2,000,000 dollars, with no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 16.727, Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program. The legal authority for the program is grounded in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C. 5665 to 5667) along with the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111 8), indicating that the funding and scope are tied to federal juvenile justice policy and DOJ appropriations for that fiscal year.

A wide range of applicant types are eligible, reflecting the program's emphasis on selecting a capable provider that can deliver training and technical assistance at scale. Eligible applicants include state governments; city, township, county, and federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. In practical terms, this eligibility mix allows both public agencies and qualified private or nonprofit technical assistance providers to compete, as long as they can credibly support nationwide or multi-jurisdictional training and support functions.

Administratively, applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The opportunity was posted on April 24, 2009, and the closing date was June 4, 2009 (the original and current closing dates match). For applicants needing help with the submission platform, the GMS Support Hotline was provided (1 888 549 9901, option 3) with hours Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The listing indicates the opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011. A program contact was also provided for access issues related to the full announcement: Sharie Cantelon, Program Manager, at (202) 616 3658 (email referenced but not fully displayed in the provided text).

In short, this grant opportunity funds a central training and technical assistance effort intended to help jurisdictions more effectively enforce underage drinking laws and reduce youth access to alcohol. Rather than paying for local enforcement activities directly, it supports the infrastructure of guidance, training, and implementation support that enables EUDL programs and partners to carry out stronger, more consistent, and more coordinated strategies across states and communities.
