Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Field Initiated Research and Evaluation (FIRE) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The program is designed to fund methodologically rigorous, field-initiated research and evaluation projects that can directly inform real-world policy and practice related to underage drinking. In plain terms, OJJDP is looking for strong studies that help explain what works (and what does not) in preventing underage drinking, improving the enforcement of underage drinking laws, and understanding the attitudes and behaviors of individuals and communities around underage alcohol use. The goal is to generate credible findings that align with the Department of Justice mission and can be used by practitioners and decision-makers.
This funding opportunity, listed under Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2012 3299, falls within the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is tied to CFDA 16.541, Part E, which focuses on developing, testing, and demonstrating promising new programs. The announcement was posted and created on April 18, 2012, with an application deadline of June 4, 2012, and it was scheduled to be archived on July 4, 2012. The award ceiling was set at $500,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, meaning proposals could request a range of amounts up to the maximum depending on the scope of the work proposed. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
A notable feature of this solicitation is its emphasis on field-initiated work. That generally means applicants are not being asked to follow a single prescribed project model. Instead, they are expected to propose their own research or evaluation questions and designs, as long as the work is rigorous and clearly connected to preventing underage drinking and/or enforcing underage drinking laws. OJJDP is specifically interested in studies that shed light on factors that influence prevention efforts, enforcement practices, and community or individual attitudes and behaviors. That can include evaluations of interventions, strategies, campaigns, or enforcement approaches, as well as research that explains why certain approaches succeed or fail in particular settings.
Eligibility was broad and included states and territories, units of local government (including counties, cities, and townships), federally recognized tribal governments, and other tribal organizations. It also included nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofits and for-profits), small businesses, and institutions of higher education, including public, state-controlled, and private colleges and universities as well as tribal institutions of higher education. For-profit applicants were allowed to apply, but they had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is an important compliance condition. OJJDP also indicated that it welcomed joint applications from two or more eligible entities, but required that one organization be designated as the primary applicant for official correspondence, award management, and accountability, with the other partners listed as co-applicants.
The authorization for the FY 2012 EUDL FIRE Program was tied to the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, Public Law 112 55 (125 Stat. 552, 617), which provided the statutory basis for the program’s funding in that fiscal year. For applicants needing help with the solicitation requirements or access to the full announcement, the listed support channel was the Justice Information Center (JIC), available by phone at 1 877 927 5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or through live web chat, with published business hours and extended hours on the closing date.
In summary, this opportunity was aimed at producing high-quality evidence on underage drinking prevention and enforcement, with flexible project concepts driven by applicants, a relatively high funding cap for a research and evaluation competition, no match requirement, and eligibility spanning government agencies, tribal entities, nonprofits, for-profits (with a no-profit condition), and colleges and universities.
