Opportunity Summary:
The ONDCP Model State Drug Laws Initiative is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of National Drug Control Policy designed to support a national, public health and public safety approach to reducing drug use and its consequences. Built in the context of the Obama Administration's 2010 National Drug Control Strategy, the program reflects the view that substance use threatens public health and that addiction is preventable and treatable. The grant supports work that helps states strengthen and modernize their drug and alcohol legal frameworks by providing credible research, practical policy guidance, and ready-to-use model legislation that states and stakeholders can adapt.
ONDCP anticipated making a single award (one grant) for an annual project period beginning around April 2014. The funding opportunity number is ONDCP STATEDRUGLAW 2014, categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services (CFDA 95.006). The award ceiling is $1,188,242, with no stated minimum award amount, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted January 31, 2014, with an application deadline of March 3, 2014, and an archive date of April 2, 2014.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). ONDCP specifically encourages applicants that already have expert knowledge and extensive experience in researching state drug and alcohol laws, providing legislative and policy technical assistance, and drafting model state laws and related policies and programs. The solicitation ties this work to existing federal direction and legacy efforts, including Public Law 109-469, Section 1105, and the 1993 President's Commission on Model State Drug Laws, signaling that the awardee is expected to operate at a national level with deep legal and policy credibility.
The awardee's responsibilities are organized into four core deliverable areas. First, research and analysis: the grantee must conduct timely research on state drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs, focusing on both current and emerging issues, and must also provide technical assistance tied to legislative and policy development when stakeholders request it. Second, model legislation: the grantee must draft comprehensive model state drug and alcohol legislation responsive to evolving issues, and must revise existing model laws or create supplementary legislative language when needed so the materials remain current and usable.
Third, technical assistance is a major operational requirement. The grantee must provide individualized off-site technical assistance and follow-up support to state and local officials and a broad set of stakeholders, including drug and alcohol professionals and behavioral health specialists. This assistance can be provided subject to a reasonable administrative charge, but it must be delivered by subject matter experts who can document both their experience drafting model laws and their familiarity with state legislative priorities, policy trends, and program realities. The solicitation also emphasizes accountability: technical assistance activities must be documented in ways that capture who was served, what was provided, feedback from recipients, and the outcome or result, and applicants are expected to describe in advance the process and mechanism they will use to collect and track this information for reporting.
Fourth, the initiative requires maintaining a Model State Drug Laws Resource Center, functioning as a public-facing, web-based repository. This includes hosting model laws and related state drug and alcohol legal and policy resources, plus studies and practical reference tools such as maps, tables, and other downloadable materials that are easy for stakeholders to access and use. The resource center must also publish relevant research online, develop and disseminate state statutes and case law online, and operate on a clear distribution schedule to push timely state law reference documents and other materials to officials, practitioners, and interested parties. In practice, this positions the grantee as a central clearinghouse and translator of complex state legal landscapes into accessible, actionable guidance.
Overall, ONDCP is using this single award to fund a national hub that tracks state drug and alcohol legal developments, converts that intelligence into model statutory language, provides hands-on support to decision-makers and practitioners, and maintains a robust, regularly updated online resource center. The intent is to help states align their laws and policies with evidence-informed approaches across prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery, and enforcement, while keeping pace with emerging drug and alcohol issues. For technical access issues related to the announcement, the posting lists a contact in ONDCP IT support (Darren Neely, 202-395-5530).
