Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2022 171324
The BJA FY 22 Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen how prescription drug monitoring programs are implemented and used across the country. It centers on improving PDMP capacity and effectiveness so these systems can better support clinical decision making and help prevent the misuse and diversion of controlled substances. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have an active partnership role with the recipient rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
A major focus of the opportunity is providing hands-on training and technical assistance to state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) PDMPs and their stakeholders. The selected provider is expected to help jurisdictions expand PDMP implementation, enhance system functionality and operations, and promote proactive, real-world use of PDMP data. In practice, this can include helping PDMP programs and partner agencies improve workflows, increase adoption and utilization among authorized users, and strengthen strategies that encourage PDMPs to be used consistently and appropriately as part of healthcare and public safety decision making. The overall intent is to reduce inappropriate prescribing and dispensing patterns, identify potential diversion risks, and support safer prescribing practices without undermining legitimate patient care.
The program sits within a broader Office of Justice Programs (OJP) commitment to advancing civil rights and racial equity, expanding access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the community. As a result, the training and technical assistance approach is expected to align with these values, such as promoting fair and equitable outcomes, reducing unintended harms, and supporting practices that improve public confidence while addressing controlled-substance misuse and diversion.
A key expectation is collaboration with jurisdictions funded under the Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. Rather than operating in isolation, the TTA provider is meant to work directly with those awardees to help them meet their project goals, overcome implementation barriers, and share effective practices across the field. This kind of national-level TTA role often involves convening stakeholders, developing resources and guidance, providing individualized technical support, and assisting with continuous improvement based on lessons learned and emerging needs in PDMP policy, technology, and operations.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2022-171324) was released on May 10, 2022, with an original closing date of June 17, 2022. BJA anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000. Eligible applicants included a wide range of organizations that could credibly operate a national training and technical assistance function, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and other entities as allowed under the solicitation’s eligibility clarifications. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.754, and it is listed under a funding activity category labeled “Humanities (see Cultural Affairs in CFDA),” even though the substance of the work described is centered on PDMPs, controlled-substance misuse prevention, and applied training and technical support for SLTT partners.Apply for O BJA 2022 171324
