The Administration supports a combined public health and public safety approach to reducing drug use and its consequences. The National Drug Control Strategy recognizes that for individuals who come into contact with the justice system, substance use disorders must be identified and treated as early in the justice process as possible, and incarceration cannot be the only (or even the primary) response to people with substance use disorders. Drug courts and other evidence-based diversion programs are key to the success of this approach. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) will award one or more federal grants to establish training, technical assistance, and other resources to advance criminal justice reforms, including drug courts that respond to the needs of justice-involved individuals with substance use disorders.

B - Project Grants

Organizations with expert knowledge of drug courts and extensive experience in brokering and developing training and technical assistance for drug court professionals are eligible. The trainings and technical assistance will require organizations with relevant subject matter expertise and extensive experience in developing and providing training and technical assistance for a variety of disciplines (e.g. judges, prosecutors, public defenders, defense counsel, probation and parole officers, law enforcement officers, law enforcement executives, court administrators, and treatment providers). Applicants can partner with other entities to achieve required expertise.
