The Executive Office of the President Office of the National Drug Control Policy awarded the Legislative Analysis and Public Policy Association $2.5 million on September 15, 2025, under the Model Acts Program (CFDA 95.006), a Project Grant.
LAPPA delivers research and legislative analysis on state drug control laws, revises model state drug laws, and provides technical assistance to states and local jurisdictions on establishing and updating comprehensive laws and policies to address illicit drug use issues. The organization maintains public policy resources and drafts supplementary model legislation to support state and local drug policy development efforts.
The award covers the period September 15, 2025, through September 14, 2027, with place of performance in Virginia. The funding is obligated as a lump sum over the 24-month grant period. LAPPA, a Charlottesville-based nonprofit educational institution classified as a minority and woman-owned business, has received prior Model Acts Program funding and previously served as a sub-recipient on the Overdose Fatality Review Training and Technical Assistance Project.
