Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ924R000087
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Judicial Tools to Combat Impaired Driving" (Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ924R000087; CFDA 20.614) focused on reducing repeat impaired driving and the crashes, injuries, and deaths that come with it. The program is grounded in the reality that a significant share of impaired-driving fatalities involve very high blood alcohol concentrations (often BAC .15 and above) and/or drivers with prior offenses. Because these high-risk drivers are disproportionately represented in the most serious outcomes, the grant is aimed at changing offender behavior in ways that measurably reduce recidivism, which in turn supports long-term declines in fatalities and injuries.
At its core, the project is designed to strengthen how courts handle impaired-driving cases both during adjudication and after adjudication, when supervision, treatment engagement, and compliance monitoring can heavily influence whether someone reoffends. The opportunity supports the delivery and improvement of judicial training and the development of practical tools that can be used by the DWI court field as well as by judges who handle DUI cases in traditional, non-DWI court settings. In other words, it is not limited to jurisdictions that already have a dedicated DWI court model; it also seeks to spread effective DWI-court practices into standard courtrooms where most impaired-driving cases may be processed.
The training emphasis is on proven or widely adopted elements associated with effective DWI courts that judges can apply to reduce impaired-driving recidivism. The opportunity highlights several key skill and practice areas: screening and assessment (to better identify substance use severity, risk level, and treatment needs), therapeutic alliance skills (to improve the working relationship and credibility of the court in a way that can increase compliance), individualized sentencing (so conditions and interventions match the risk and needs of the offender rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach), and motivational interviewing (a structured communication approach that can strengthen personal motivation for change and reduce resistance). Taken together, these components reflect an approach that blends accountability with behavior-change strategies, aiming to improve both court decision-making and the effectiveness of post-sentencing interventions.
Administratively, this is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NHTSA expects a more active partnership role during the project period than would be common under a standard grant. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating a broad range of applicant types may apply if they can meet federal requirements and demonstrate the capacity to deliver national- or field-relevant training and tools. The opportunity was created on 2024-09-04 and had an original closing date of 2024-10-04. The award ceiling is listed at $7,000,000, and the activity category is transportation, reflecting the roadway safety mission and the focus on preventing crashes through improved judicial and offender management practices.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as an investment in the court system as a key leverage point in traffic safety. Rather than focusing solely on enforcement or public messaging, it targets the decision-makers and court teams who shape consequences, treatment pathways, supervision intensity, and offender engagement. The intended result is better-informed judicial practice, stronger consistency and effectiveness in handling high-risk impaired-driving offenders, and a measurable reduction in repeat offenses that contribute to serious and fatal crashes.Apply for 693JJ924R000087
