OJJDP FY 17 Juvenile Drug Court Testing Guidelines

Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

Applicants are limited to states, state courts, local courts, units of local government , and federally recognized tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) acting directly or through an agreement with other public or private entities. Applicants must have an operating juvenile drug court. If a subunit of government (e.g., county probation department, district attorney’s office, or pretrial services agency) wishes to apply, the authorized representative of the state, state court, local court, or unit of local government must designate that specific applicant for purposes of applying for this grant. For example, the county executive may designate the county probation or county district attorney’s office as its representative for the purpose of applying for this grant. In such cases, the applicant must submit an authorization letter. Eligible applicants who propose to provide direct services to youth must not include youth who are age 18 or older in the population they will serve. OJJDP welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (“subgrantees"). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire juvenile drug court program. Under this solicitation, only one application by any particular applicant entity will be considered. An entity may, however, be proposed as a subrecipient (“subgrantee”) in more than one application.
