Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NIFA EXCA 006652
The Substance Abuse Program at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas (SAP) is a one-time competitive grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), using funding provided by the Department of Defense under the Economy Act of 1932 (31 U.S.C. 1535). The basic idea is that DoD is leveraging NIFA's capabilities and grant-making infrastructure to support prevention-focused substance abuse programming on a large military installation in Texas.
The purpose of the FY 2018 SAP competition is to fund drug and alcohol abuse prevention education for the Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) community. The intended audience is broad and includes active-duty military personnel and their families, Department of Defense civilian employees, reserve component members, and military retirees connected to JBSA. The emphasis in the description is prevention education rather than treatment, indicating that proposed activities should focus on awareness, risk reduction, and strategies that help people avoid or reduce harmful alcohol and drug use before it escalates.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement), meaning applicants compete based on the merit of their proposals. The funding opportunity title is "Substance Abuse Program at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas," and it is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "USDA NIFA EXCA 006652." The Funding Activity Category is labeled "Agriculture" and it is associated with CFDA number 10.500, which reflects NIFA's cataloging system even though the project topic here is public health education within a military community.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the posted award ceiling is $296,933 and the program expects to make one award. That combination strongly suggests a single grantee would be selected to deliver the prevention education effort at JBSA during the project period described in the full announcement. The application window was short: the opportunity was created on July 24, 2018, with an original closing date of August 13, 2018, so applicants would have needed to prepare a focused submission quickly.
Eligibility is described generally as "Others," with additional details referenced as being in the full eligibility text of the announcement. In practice, that phrasing typically means the competition may be open to certain organizations or entities beyond standard categories, but applicants would need to confirm the exact eligible applicant types and any restrictions in the official notice. The administering agency is USDA NIFA, but the programmatic beneficiary and operational setting is Joint Base San Antonio, underscoring that this is a DoD-supported prevention education effort executed through a USDA/NIFA grant mechanism.Apply for USDA NIFA EXCA 006652
