Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Family Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention focused on strengthening family drug courts through training and hands-on technical assistance. The program is designed to help states, state and local courts, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments develop new family drug courts, sustain existing ones, and improve how they operate. Its core purpose is to support court-involved families where substance use by an adult caregiver is connected to child abuse and or neglect matters in family court, with the broader goal of improving outcomes for children and families by increasing court capacity to respond effectively to substance use disorders in the child welfare context. The program is authorized under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-322), cited at 42 U.S.C. 3797u-8.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means OJJDP expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating the work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and it is connected to CFDA 16.585, the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program. OJJDP anticipated making one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of 1,000,000 dollars and no stated minimum award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad but targeted toward organizations capable of delivering specialized training and technical assistance to jurisdictions working on family drug courts. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based, community, and tribal nonprofits), for-profit organizations (as long as they agree to waive any profit or fee for services), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and small businesses. The solicitation emphasizes demonstrated expertise in helping communities develop, maintain, and enhance family drug courts, signaling that applicants should be prepared to show a track record, subject-matter competence, and the operational capacity to deliver effective TTA across multiple sites or systems. OJJDP also allows joint applications from two or more eligible entities, but requires one clearly identified primary applicant responsible for communications, award administration, and overall management. Where partnerships are proposed, applicants are expected to document the commitment and roles of partners through materials like memoranda of understanding, letters of support, and statements of work.
Key timeline details include a posted and created date of March 4, 2013, with an original and final closing date of May 6, 2013, and an archive date of June 5, 2013.
