Opportunity Information: Apply for JJE JJE 23 001
The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement called "Juvenile and Family Court Judiciary Education on Substance Use and Substance Use Disorder" (Funding Opportunity Number: JJE JJE 23 001; CFDA: 95.005). The core focus is to strengthen how juvenile and family courts respond to substance use and substance use disorder (SUD) by improving what judges and the broader justice system understand about the science of addiction, evidence-based approaches to treatment and recovery, and the ways legal decisions can either reduce or worsen substance-related harms. The opportunity is framed around a broader public safety priority: helping people who have been involved with the justice system move toward stable, productive lives by addressing underlying needs such as mental health, substance use, and access to effective rehabilitation supports.
This cooperative agreement is designed to turn evidence-based drug policy principles into practical, court-relevant education. ONDCP is seeking a recipient that can deliver training and technical assistance that helps juvenile and family court judges adhere more closely to best practices when substance use or SUD is part of a case. The intended outcomes are threefold: first, better education and training for judges working in juvenile and family court settings; second, lower justice system costs and reduced recidivism by promoting responses that are more effective than purely punitive approaches; and third, increased awareness across the judiciary of addiction science and how substance use disorders function as health conditions that intersect with court involvement.
The recipient will be expected to build credible, judge-centered learning opportunities, including peer-to-peer education led by judges and former judges. The program must also incorporate expert practitioners with deep experience in addiction science, criminal justice practice, and healthcare systems so that the training reflects current research and real-world implementation. Deliverables are meant to be accessible and flexible, combining in-person trainings, online trainings, and jurisdiction-specific technical assistance. ONDCP emphasizes reaching a variety of communities and court environments, including state, local, and Tribal jurisdictions, and serving demographically diverse areas rather than limiting support to one type of community or court system.
A key requirement is that the training content and delivery explicitly align with ONDCP policy priorities. That includes promoting a comprehensive approach to substance use and SUD that spans prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery, rather than focusing on only one stage of the continuum. It also includes advancing diversion programming that is evidence-based and paired with comprehensive case management, access to SUD treatment, recovery supports, and other services people may need to stabilize. In practical terms, the grant is aiming to improve the ability of courts to make informed decisions about screening, referral pathways, service coordination, and supervision strategies in ways that are consistent with evidence and that improve both individual outcomes and community safety.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). ONDCP anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $150,000. The opportunity was posted on July 17, 2023, with an original application deadline of August 31, 2023. Overall, the grant is targeted, training-focused funding intended to equip juvenile and family court judges with modern, science-informed tools and approaches for handling substance-related issues in ways that reduce harm, improve compliance with best practices, and support long-term public safety goals.Apply for JJE JJE 23 001
