Opportunity Summary:
The ONDCP Model State Drug Law Initiative is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of National Drug Control Policy designed to support a single organization in helping states and localities strengthen their drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs. It sits within the broader Obama Administration approach (as reflected in the 2010 National Drug Control Strategy) that treats drug use as both a public health and public safety issue, emphasizing a balanced strategy that includes prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery supports, and law enforcement. The grant is meant to translate that strategy into practical, usable tools for policymakers and practitioners who are responding to changing drug and alcohol trends on the ground.
The core purpose of the initiative is to produce and maintain high-quality model state drug and alcohol laws and related policy guidance, grounded in the statutory direction of Public Law 109-469, Section 1105 (Model Acts), and aligned with the work of the President's Commission on Model State Drug Laws (1993). In practice, this means the awardee is expected to function as a national resource that tracks and analyzes state and local legal approaches, identifies gaps or emerging issues, and then develops model legislation or updates existing models so jurisdictions have vetted language and frameworks they can adapt.
The funded work is organized around three main responsibilities. First, the selected grantee must conduct research and analysis on state and local drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs, including monitoring developments and summarizing how different jurisdictions are addressing key issues. Second, the grantee must draft comprehensive model legislation, revise existing model laws when they become outdated, and prepare supplementary model laws to address new or evolving challenges. Third, the grantee must provide technical assistance to stakeholders and maintain a web-based repository or resource center that houses model laws and related materials, making them accessible and useful to policymakers, practitioners, and other decision-makers. The online resource center is a major deliverable, serving as the public-facing hub for the initiative's products and information.
Funding for this opportunity is capped at an estimated total of $1,250,000, with an award ceiling of $1,250,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. ONDCP anticipated making one award, meaning the initiative is structured as a single-provider national project rather than a multi-award program. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Law, Justice, and Legal Services. The CFDA number associated with the program is 95.006 (Model State Drug Laws Initiative).
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. Beyond organizational eligibility, ONDCP emphasizes capability requirements: applicants must demonstrate expert knowledge and extensive experience in legal and policy research, technical assistance, and drafting model state drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs consistent with the statutory and commission-based framework cited in the announcement. This signals that ONDCP is looking for a specialized organization with a strong track record in state-level legal analysis and legislative drafting, not a general prevention or treatment service provider.
Key administrative details in the posting include the Funding Opportunity Number ONDCP STATEDRUGLAW 2013, a posted date of January 14, 2013, and a closing date of February 15, 2013 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on March 17, 2013. For technical problems accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Darren Neely, IT Specialist, at 202-395-5530.
