Opportunity Information: Apply for SP 19 006
The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program-Competing Continuation (Funding Opportunity Number SP 19 006) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered jointly through the Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) within the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). The program is tied to CFDA 93.276 and is part of the federal government’s long-running effort to help local communities organize and sustain prevention work aimed at reducing substance misuse, especially among young people.
This particular announcement is for Fiscal Year 2019 and focuses on supporting community coalitions through a competing continuation process, meaning it is intended for groups seeking continued funding through a competitive application rather than brand-new start-up applicants. The central idea behind the DFC program is that youth substance use trends can be changed more effectively when a community builds a durable, cross-sector coalition that coordinates prevention strategies, aligns local policies and practices, and addresses the specific risk and protective factors present in that community.
The opportunity is grounded in the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20), which sets out two statutory goals for the program. First, it aims to establish and strengthen collaboration among key community partners. That collaboration is meant to include public and private nonprofit organizations as well as government partners at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels, all working together to support the prevention and reduction of substance abuse among youth. Second, it aims to reduce substance abuse among youth and, over time, reduce substance abuse among adults. This longer-term objective is pursued by targeting the conditions that raise the likelihood of substance use (risk factors) and boosting the conditions that help prevent it (protective factors), using a community-level approach rather than relying on a single program or setting.
For the purposes of this funding announcement, "youth" is explicitly defined as individuals age 18 and younger. The announcement also notes that it aligns with the Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse topic area (HP 2020-SA), signaling that the grant’s prevention focus is consistent with broader national public health goals and benchmarks.
In terms of basic funding details, the grant uses the standard federal grant instrument type and falls under the health funding activity category. The award ceiling listed is $125,000, and the announcement anticipates making approximately 150 awards. The opportunity was created on May 8, 2019, with an original application closing date of July 8, 2019. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity’s eligibility section, which typically indicates that applicants must meet specific DFC program requirements (commonly tied to coalition structure and community representation) rather than fitting neatly into a single applicant type category.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to keep community-based prevention coalitions operating and improving over time, with an emphasis on coordinated local action, measurable reduction of youth substance use, and community-driven strategies that address the underlying drivers of substance misuse.Apply for SP 19 006
