Opportunity Summary:
The Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking Act (STOP Act) Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SP 16 007) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (HHS-SAMHSA), under CFDA 93.243. The program is designed to help communities across the United States prevent and reduce alcohol use among young people ages 12 through 20, with a clear emphasis on community-level prevention rather than individual treatment services.
A central requirement of this funding is that projects concentrate primarily on strengthening collaboration among key community entities. In practice, this means building and improving coordinated local efforts among organizations and stakeholders that influence youth alcohol access, norms, and enforcement. While the opportunity is broadly about reducing underage drinking, the specific target setting for these awards is current and former Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grantee communities. In other words, the funding is meant to reinforce and extend the kinds of coalition-based prevention infrastructures associated with DFC work, helping those communities sustain momentum, coordinate partners more effectively, and implement or enhance strategies that reduce youth alcohol use.
The grant uses a standard grant funding instrument, and awards are relatively small but widely distributed. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $50,000, and the agency anticipated making about 80 awards, indicating an intention to support many communities with focused, collaboration-centered prevention activities rather than a small number of large projects. The application closing date for this specific cycle was May 10, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same), and the opportunity was posted and created on March 10, 2016.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement under the eligibility section, which typically signals that eligibility may be limited to specific community coalitions or organizations meeting defined criteria (especially given the emphasis on current and former DFC grantee communities). Overall, this opportunity supports community partnership-building and coordinated prevention approaches aimed at reducing underage alcohol consumption, with funding structured to help many qualifying communities strengthen local systems and collaborative action.
