Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2024 172343

The BJA FY24 Invited to Apply - Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) opportunity is a targeted, invitation-only continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It is designed specifically to receive applications from a limited set of FY 2023 Harold Rogers PDMP awardees who were formally invited by BJA to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In practical terms, this is not an open competition; eligibility is restricted to organizations that received an official invitation letter tied to the FY2023 Harold Rogers PDMP program, and applications outside that invited pool are not accepted.

The purpose of the Harold Rogers PDMP program is to strengthen state and territorial capacity to plan, implement, or enhance Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs. PDMPs are statewide (or jurisdiction-wide) data systems that track controlled substance prescriptions, and they are commonly used to support clinical decision-making, reduce prescription drug misuse and diversion, and inform public safety and public health strategies. The program emphasizes flexibility for states and territories, allowing jurisdictions to make implementation decisions based on their own laws, governance structures, and operational preferences, while still encouraging the adoption and replication of promising practices that have shown results in other places. The overall focus is on improving PDMP effectiveness, usability, and integration so these systems better support practitioners, agencies, and broader efforts to address prescription drug misuse.

This NOFO is issued as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, which generally signals that BJA expects to have more substantial involvement during the project period (for example, through collaboration, monitoring, technical assistance expectations, or structured deliverables). The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, and the activity area is categorized under law, justice, and legal services. The CFDA (Assistance Listing) number associated with this opportunity is 16.754.

In terms of scale and timing, BJA anticipates making 18 total awards under this announcement, corresponding to the invited FY 2023 cohort (15 in Category 1 and 3 in Category 2, as described in the NOFO). The award ceiling is up to $1,000,000 per award. The opportunity record shows a creation date of January 16, 2025, with an original application closing date of January 22, 2025.

Eligibility is narrow and explicitly limited to the invited entities. The NOFO states that only applicants who received an official invitation letter from BJA related to the FY2023 Harold Rogers PDMP are eligible to apply. Applications will only be accepted from the following organizations and jurisdictions: Ohio State Board of Pharmacy; Massachusetts Department of Public Health; Nebraska Department of Public Health; Georgia Department of Public Health; Utah Department of Health and Human Services; Alaska Department of Health; California Department of Justice; New Hampshire Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General; Nevada State Board of Pharmacy; Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation; Pennsylvania Department of Health; Arkansas Department of Health; Kansas Board of Pharmacy; Government of the District of Columbia; New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety; Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services; Health Research, Inc.; and the University of California, Davis. The listing also includes Pennsylvania Department of Health twice, reflecting the source text as provided.

Overall, this opportunity functions as an invited renewal or continuation pathway for a specific set of existing PDMP awardees, with the central goal of helping jurisdictions maintain momentum and expand impact by improving PDMP planning, implementation, enhancement, and the spread of effective practices tailored to state and territorial contexts.
