Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Assessment, Strategic Planning, and Implementation Initiative was a U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs funding opportunity designed to help states reduce both the availability of alcohol to people under 21 and underage alcohol consumption itself. The program’s basic approach was to fund a structured process that starts with an assessment of the underage drinking problem and enforcement environment, moves into strategic planning based on what the assessment finds, and then supports implementation of research-based and promising practices to strengthen enforcement of underage drinking laws and prevent youth access to alcohol. In practice, the intent was to help states sharpen how they deploy resources, coordinate agencies, and select interventions that have evidence behind them, rather than relying on ad hoc or purely awareness-based efforts.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant in the form of a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would generally be expected to work closely with the federal funder during planning and implementation. It fell under the activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and was tied to CFDA 16.727 (Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program). The initiative anticipated making about three awards, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and no stated award floor, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2011, with an original and final application deadline of May 16, 2011, and it was later archived on November 9, 2011.
Eligibility was intentionally narrow and focused on the state-level entities already responsible for administering the EUDL Block Grants Program. Applicants were limited to state agencies designated by their governors to administer EUDL funding, including agencies that already held active EUDL discretionary grants, with an explicit exception for Maine, Nevada, and Washington because the specific program model described in the solicitation was already operational in those states at the time. In other words, the competition was aimed at states positioned to run statewide, coordinated underage drinking enforcement and prevention strategies, not local governments or nonprofits applying independently.
Overall, the grant’s purpose was to strengthen state capacity to enforce underage drinking laws using approaches supported by research or considered promising in the field, with the broader public safety and youth well-being goal of limiting youth access to alcohol and reducing consumption. The authorizing context noted in the announcement was that the program would be supported through an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice, reflecting that it was federally funded and administered through OJJDP under DOJ’s appropriations authority. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the notice directed applicants to Grants.gov Customer Service at 1-800-518-4726.
