About this opportunity

The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking grant applications for the Community and Schools Youth Drug Prevention Program under the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program (COSSUP). This grant opportunity targets 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to deliver substance use prevention programs for youth in schools and extracurricular settings, with a focus on coordinating with local law enforcement and community coalitions. The program aims to develop strategies for identifying and providing treatment and recovery support services for high-frequency substance users across multiple systems. Eligible applicants must demonstrate expertise in developing comprehensive approaches to youth drug prevention and the ability to work collaboratively with local agencies. The application deadline is October 27, 2025, with the grant opportunity officially posted on September 18, 2025.

While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the COSSUP program typically provides grants ranging from $248,448 to $7,000,000, with project periods spanning three years. The program will support initiatives across urban, suburban, and rural communities nationwide, with a primary focus on expanding youth access to treatment and developing innovative approaches to addressing substance use disorders. Successful applicants will be notified through the DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants) and must electronically accept the grant award. Grantees will be required to maintain financial records and supporting documents for at least three years following the most recent audit, and payments will be subject to potential government audits.
