About this program
The Department of Education Office of Safe and Healthy Students funds school safety, violence prevention, and substance-abuse prevention activities through the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities–State Grants program (CFDA 84.186), with the most recent grant award dated October 1, 2009.
This program is no longer active. The most recent award was over 17 years ago. Award activity ran from 1999 through 2009, with a consistent cadence of roughly 106–109 awards per year in the years immediately preceding program closure. No recent grant opportunities are posted.
The program funded state and local alcohol, tobacco, and drug prevention initiatives; research-based violence-prevention programs in schools; parental engagement in school safety efforts; and targeted initiatives such as substance-abuse prevention for Native Hawaiian populations. Two representative recent awards illustrate the scope: a formula grant for State and Local Programs (Q186A090010) obligating $11.1 million to address drug and alcohol prevention, and a formula grant for Governors Grants (Q186B090005) obligating $4.8 million. Smaller project grants, such as the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Program for Native Hawaiians (Q186C090010), obligated $521 thousand to $296 thousand.
The portfolio was dominated by formula grants, which made up 99 percent of 986 total awards. The Department of Education Office of Safe and Healthy Students administered 100 percent of awards, obligating a combined $2.75 billion in federal dollars. The program did not require non-federal cost-sharing; combined federal and total obligated dollars were identical. Award sizes ranged widely, from $0 in one instance to $24.8 million, with state-level recipients receiving the largest amounts.
Do not pursue this program. It has not issued grants in over 17 years and shows no signs of reopening.
