Opportunity Information: Apply for DFCNCI 2020
The National Community Anti-drug Coalition Institute (NCI) grant opportunity is a FY 2020 discretionary funding announcement released by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) within the Executive Office of the President. It sits under the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program and is intended to fund a single national organization to serve as a central resource for community anti-drug coalitions across the country. The opportunity is identified as FOA Number DFCNCI-2020, listed under CFDA 95.003, and categorized in the health funding area. In practical terms, ONDCP is looking to support an entity that can operate at the national level and strengthen local coalition work by providing structured training, technical assistance, and other capacity-building supports that help coalitions prevent and reduce substance misuse in their communities.
Eligibility is narrowly focused on national nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) that can demonstrate special expertise and broad, national-level experience working with community anti-drug coalitions, consistent with section 1032 of the National Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1532). The emphasis on "represents" and "provides technical assistance and training to" coalitions signals that the applicant should already function as a national intermediary or backbone-type organization, with established credibility, reach, and infrastructure to deliver support services at scale. ONDCP explicitly encourages applications from national nonprofit institutions or organizations that can show they have the experience and operational capacity to deliver consistent, high-quality assistance to community coalitions nationwide.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $2,500,000 and an expectation that only one award will be made, which reinforces that this program is designed to select a single lead organization to operate the National Community Anti-drug Coalition Institute function. Because it is a one-award competition with a relatively high ceiling, applicants would generally be expected to propose a comprehensive national approach, including how they will design and deliver training and technical assistance, how they will reach coalitions in diverse regions and contexts, and how they will manage program delivery, quality control, and responsiveness to coalition needs.
The application process runs through Grants.gov and requires prior registration before submission. Applications had to be submitted and receive a successful validation message in Grants.gov by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 25, 2020, with the NOFO originally released on August 27, 2020. ONDCP stresses practical submission planning: Grants.gov registration can take weeks for first-time registrants due to processing delays, and applicants are urged to register several weeks in advance. They also recommend submitting at least 72 hours before the deadline so there is enough time to receive validation or rejection notices and correct any errors that could prevent timely acceptance. Prospective applicants are encouraged to sign up for Grants.gov email notifications so they are alerted if the announcement is modified or canceled.
For support, technical issues related to Grants.gov submission are directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at 800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035, or by email at support@grants.gov, with availability noted as 24/7 except federal holidays. For questions about other solicitation requirements, ONDCP provided a program contact: Helen Hernandez, reachable via email at DFC@ONDCP.EOP.GOV or by phone at 202-395-6665.Apply for DFCNCI 2020
