Opportunity Summary:

The OJJDP FY 2008 Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Discretionary Program University/College Initiative was a Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) grant opportunity designed to reduce underage drinking among college and university students who are under 21. The program focused on strengthening and expanding enforcement and prevention strategies that limit both the sale of alcohol to minors and the purchase and consumption of alcohol by minors. In practical terms, it aimed to cut down access to alcohol for underage students and reduce underage drinking behaviors in campus and surrounding community settings, aligning with DOJ public safety goals and the authority provided under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Pub. L. No. 110-161).

This opportunity was categorized as a discretionary grant under CFDA 16.727 (Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program) within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area. Applications were posted May 16, 2008, with an original and final closing date of June 13, 2008, and the opportunity archived July 13, 2008. The maximum award amount listed was $900,000, with no stated minimum award floor, and the solicitation did not require cost sharing or matching funds.

Eligibility was limited and specific. Only state agencies that were already designated to administer the EUDL Block Grants Program, including those operating active EUDL discretionary programs, could apply. In other words, even though the initiative targeted university and college environments, the eligible applicants were not individual campuses by default; instead, the designated state-level administering agencies served as the eligible entities to pursue funding, presumably to coordinate statewide or multi-jurisdictional strategies that could include campus-focused efforts. The solicitation referenced a list of eligible state agencies available through the Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center (udetc.org).

Overall, the grant was meant to support and enhance state and local enforcement and prevention work related to underage drinking, with a special emphasis on university and college contexts where minors may obtain or consume alcohol. Assistance for accessing the full announcement was available through the listed technical support contact, Al Roddy, at (202) 616-4506.
