Opportunity Summary:
The ONDCP Model State Drug Laws Initiative is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Office of National Drug Control Policy designed to help states strengthen and modernize their drug and alcohol laws and related policies. Rooted in President Obama's 2010 National Drug Control Strategy, the program reflects a broader public health and public safety approach to reducing drug use and its consequences, treating addiction as a preventable and treatable disease while still supporting balanced enforcement. The legal basis for the program comes from the ONDCP 2006 Reauthorization Act (Public Law 109-469), which authorizes ONDCP to partner with a nonprofit organization to advise states using the model state drug laws originally developed by the President's Commission on Model State Drug Laws in 1993, update those models, and create supplementary model laws that reflect new and evolving drug and alcohol challenges.
ONDCP planned to make a single award for a two-year project period beginning around July 1, 2015. The funded organization, referred to as the non-federal entity (NFE), would be responsible for a mix of applied research, policy support, and legislative drafting aimed at current and emerging drug and alcohol issues facing states. In practical terms, the program is meant to function as a national resource that states, local officials, and policy stakeholders can turn to for credible analysis, off-site technical help, and ready-to-use model legislative language that can be adapted to local needs.
The work supported by the grant is organized into four major performance areas. First, in research and analysis, the grantee must conduct timely research on state drug and alcohol laws, policies, and programs and track how they respond to emerging issues. The grantee also has to clearly explain and document the process it uses to decide which new model laws should be developed, including the criteria used to prioritize topics. This part also includes responding to requests from members of the public and organizations for help with legislative and policy development, meaning the grantee is expected to be engaged with real-time policy questions and not just publish reports.
Second, in drafting and revising model legislation, the grantee must write new model state drug and alcohol legislation targeted at current and emerging issues, and also revise existing model laws or produce supplementary model language when updates are needed. The emphasis is on keeping model legislation relevant as drug trends, public health evidence, and state policy landscapes change.
Third, the technical assistance component requires the grantee to provide individual off-site assistance and follow-up support, upon request, to audiences such as state and local officials, drug and alcohol professionals, behavioral health specialists, and other relevant stakeholders. ONDCP allows the grantee to charge only a reasonable administrative fee for this help if it chooses to do so, but the grantee must propose and justify any fee structure, and those fees do not reduce or offset the federal grant amount. ONDCP also expects technical assistance to be delivered by true subject matter experts with documented experience drafting model drug and alcohol laws and deep familiarity with state legislative priorities. Just as importantly, the grantee must track and document its technical assistance activity for reporting purposes, including who received the assistance, what type it was, feedback from recipients, and the outcome or result.
Fourth, the initiative requires the grantee to operate a Model State Drug Laws Resource Center, essentially a public-facing web-based repository of information on state drug and alcohol laws and related policies and programs. The site must be easy to use and allow materials to be readily accessed and downloaded, and it should include studies, maps, tables, and other practical reference tools. The grantee must publish relevant research online and, as much as possible, develop and disseminate state statutes and case law online while respecting copyright and other legal limitations (including situations where case law access may require summarizing or abstracting decisions). The grantee must also create a schedule for distributing state law reference documents and other materials to officials, professionals, and other interested users so the information is actively circulated rather than simply posted.
In terms of funding and eligibility, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ONDCP-STATEDRUGLAW-2015, CFDA 95.006) anticipated total funding of $2,500,000, with a single award set at exactly $2,500,000 (matching award floor and ceiling) and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, and ONDCP specifically encouraged applicants with extensive demonstrated expertise in research, analysis, technical assistance, and drafting model state drug and alcohol laws consistent with the statutory mission and the 1993 commission framework. The posting date was April 13, 2015, with an application deadline of May 29, 2015, and the program was categorized under law, justice, and legal services. Contact for access issues was listed as Dave Shull, Deputy Associate Director for Management and Administration, at 202-395-6650.
