Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ920R000008
The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Prosecutor Support for Impaired Driving" (Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ920R000008). The focus is on reducing roadway deaths and injuries by strengthening how impaired driving laws are enforced and, especially, how impaired driving cases are prosecuted in state courts. While NHTSA sets national safety priorities through education, research, standards, and enforcement support, states control the laws and courtroom processes that govern impaired driving behavior. This program is designed to bridge that gap by improving the training and tools available to the prosecutors who handle these cases.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning NHTSA expects to have an active role in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funded recipient is expected to help develop, evaluate, and deliver training that increases the knowledge and practical skills of state and local prosecutors who prosecute alcohol- and drug-impaired driving cases. A major driver behind the timing and emphasis of this program is the changing legal landscape around marijuana. With recreational marijuana legalized in 11 states plus Washington, DC, and medical marijuana legalized in 30 states at the time of the notice, NHTSA anticipates marijuana will increasingly contribute to impaired driving incidents, including serious injury and fatal crashes. The grant responds to that concern by investing in prosecutorial education that can keep pace with emerging drug-impaired driving issues.
The work builds on a long federal history of prosecutor-focused highway safety training. Since 1991, DOT has supported the development of a comprehensive impaired driving prosecution program, and prior efforts have already produced five established training courses that states can use. Those courses also address courtroom preparation for law enforcement, reflecting how closely prosecutors and officers must coordinate to successfully investigate, charge, and adjudicate impaired driving offenses, especially drug-impaired driving cases where evidence and expert testimony can be more complex.
Under this NOFO, the selected recipient will support several key audiences: state and local prosecutors, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors (TSRPs), state prosecutor coordinators, and other criminal justice professionals involved in impaired driving cases. The goal is to increase overall effectiveness in state courts by improving training content, improving how training is delivered to the field, and evaluating whether the training actually strengthens prosecution outcomes and professional practice. In addition to ongoing training development and support, the recipient must hold an annual training seminar specifically for TSRPs to expand and update their expertise on issues commonly encountered in impaired driving cases.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full notice. The program falls under the education activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.614. NHTSA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $1,240,743. The opportunity was originally posted on April 14, 2020, with an original closing date of May 14, 2020.Apply for 693JJ920R000008
