Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 44002
The BJA FY 21 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program Formula Grant Solicitation is a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) funding opportunity designed to support residential substance use treatment services for people in state correctional settings, with the broader goal of interrupting the recurring link between drug addiction, criminal behavior, and violence. Authorized under 34 U.S.C. 10421 et seq., the program focuses on reducing the demand for, use of, and trafficking in illegal drugs by investing in structured treatment interventions that can be delivered within prisons and connected to reentry planning. In practical terms, the solicitation reflects a public safety and public health approach: treat substance use disorders as a key driver of criminal justice involvement, reduce relapse and recidivism through evidence-informed programming, and improve outcomes for individuals returning to the community.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2021-44002) is offered as a grant and is categorized in the source data as a discretionary opportunity, while also being labeled a "formula" solicitation, which typically signals that funding amounts are determined based on statutory or administrative allocation methods rather than purely competitive scoring alone. The activity category is listed as Affordable Care Act, and the program is associated with CFDA number 16.593, which is the federal assistance listing historically tied to RSAT. The expected scale is nationwide, with an anticipated 56 awards, which aligns with state-level participation across states and territories.
Eligibility is primarily aimed at state governments, with the listing also indicating that other entities may be eligible as described in the solicitation's additional eligibility guidance. That often means the state administering agency may apply directly and, depending on the rules in the full announcement, may pass funds through to corrections agencies, treatment providers, or other partners responsible for operating or supporting RSAT programming. The key point is that the program is intended to support state prisoner populations and the systems that manage their treatment, supervision, and reentry.
The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was created on December 17, 2020, and had an original closing date of February 16, 2021. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $2,280,000, indicating the upper bound of what a single award could be, though actual award sizes typically vary by state allocation and program design. Overall, the solicitation represents a federal investment in correctional treatment capacity that targets substance use disorders among incarcerated people, with the expectation that effective residential treatment can help reduce drug-related harms inside facilities and lower the likelihood of reoffending after release.Apply for O BJA 2021 44002
