Opportunity Information: Apply for ONDCP NYLI 2018
The National Youth Leadership Initiative (NYLI) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) within the Executive Office of the President. It is designed to strengthen youth involvement in the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program by helping young people take active, visible roles in local substance use prevention work. ONDCP is looking to build on the prevention results seen in DFC communities and to deepen youth engagement so that prevention efforts are not only adult-driven but also powered by trained youth leaders working alongside supportive adult advisors.
This opportunity will fund one cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee should expect to work closely with the federal government during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The project period is two years, anticipated to begin around June 2018, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and only one expected award. The funding activity is categorized under Law, Justice, and Legal Services (CFDA 95.008), reflecting ONDCPs role in coordinating a government-wide public health and safety approach to reducing drug use and its consequences.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. ONDCP is specifically seeking an organization that already has expert knowledge and extensive hands-on experience mobilizing communities using the Seven Strategies for Community Change, a framework commonly used in coalition-based prevention work. Beyond general expertise, applicants must have a track record as an essential partner to the DFC Support Program by providing technical assistance to community coalitions, and they must also have demonstrated experience training youth to serve as substance abuse prevention leaders.
The core purpose of NYLI is to equip youth and their adult advisors with the practical knowledge and leadership skills needed to make meaningful, community-level change. DFC coalitions are required to collaborate across multiple community sectors to identify local substance use problems and implement comprehensive strategies that shift conditions in the community, not just individual behavior. NYLI is meant to enhance that coalition infrastructure by ensuring youth are integrated into coalition efforts in a structured, effective way, consistent with best practices in youth development. The program model emphasized in the announcement is youth-led and adult-guided, aiming to empower young people to speak up, be seen, and influence prevention activities across the places that shape their daily lives, including where they live, learn, and play.
The opportunity is authorized under 21 U.S.C. 1534(a)(1)(B), with funding provided through applicable appropriations statutes supporting ONDCPs prevention priorities. Grantees and applicants are expected to follow the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards under 2 CFR Part 200, as adopted by ONDCP through 2 CFR Part 3603. The original closing date for applications listed in the source data is May 30, 2018, with the funding opportunity posted on May 1, 2018.Apply for ONDCP NYLI 2018
