What the grant funds

Overview Under ONDCP’s authorization, the Director of ONDCP is authorized to enter into an agreement with a non-profit organization to “advise states on establishing laws and policies to address illicit drug issues; and revise such model state drug laws and draft supplementary model state drug laws to take into consideration changes in the drug use issues in the state involved.” See 21 U.S.C. § 1703 (i) (Model Acts Program) . These statutory requirements comprise the core of the Model Acts Program. The purposes and requirements for the assistance provided under this funding opportunity announcement are described in detail below. ONDCP expects to award one federal cooperative agreement under the Model Acts Program, for a 2-year period, beginning approximately July 1, 2021. The successful non-federal entity (NFE) receiving the award will conduct research and analysis, provide technical assistance, draft model legislation on current and emerging illicit drug issues, and successfully facilitate enactment of the model legislation. The successful NFE receiving the award must maintain a web-based resource center that is accessible to the public and houses state illicit drug laws and related statutes, policies and programs for use in advising states and associated groups on establishing laws and policies based on Model Acts. Priority will be given to proposals that make funding available to at least five law school clinics via subawards. Goals, Objectives and What the Government is Supporting The assistance provided under this award will support the NFE’s performance of the award and fulfillment of the following four performance areas: RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS Conduct timely research and analysis on state illicit drug laws, policies, and programs pertaining to current and emerging illicit drug issues; Describe and document processes used for determining which model laws should be developed and articulate criteria for prioritization and selection; and Provide technical assistance in legislative and policy development in response to requests by interested members of the public, including persons representing legislative and other organizations. DRAFTING AND REVISING MODEL LEGISLATION Draft model state illicit drug legislation to address current and emerging illicit drug issues; and Revise current model laws and/or draft supplementary legislation as deemed necessary.
