About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance within the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs is soliciting applications for specialized training and technical assistance (TTA) providers to support Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) grantees. The primary objective is to enhance jurisdictions' strategic, operational, and tactical approaches to reducing unlawful distribution of illicit opioids and other substances, with particular emphasis on supporting law enforcement investigations and drug locating activities. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, and for-profit organizations. Awards will be made through cooperative agreements, and evaluation will follow a merit-based review process that examines eligibility, responsiveness, programmatic quality, budget reasonableness, and organizational risk. The application deadline is May 13, 2026, with the notice posted on April 15, 2026.
While specific award amounts are not detailed in this particular NOFO excerpt, historical COSSUP awards have ranged from approximately $248,000 to $8.9 million per recipient, with typical project periods spanning three years. The performance of services will occur across all fifty states and tribal territories, with no geographic restrictions limiting eligible applicants or implementation sites. Successful applicants should be prepared to follow federal compliance requirements, including audit provisions under 2 CFR Part 200, and retain all records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports. The Authorized Representative will have 45 days from award notification to accept or decline the grant.
Synopsis
