Opportunity Information: Apply for ONDCP ANTI DOPING 2017
The Anti-Doping Activities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: ONDCP ANTI DOPING 2017) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) within the Executive Office of the President. Its purpose is to fund a single grantee to continue and strengthen national anti-doping work aimed at protecting the integrity of amateur sport in the United States, particularly in competitions recognized by the United States Olympic Committee. The program is built around the idea that preventing and deterring doping requires more than testing alone; it also depends on sustained education, research, clear communication of anti-doping rules, and a credible legal process for handling violations and appeals.
The core activities supported by this funding fall into three connected areas. First, the grantee is expected to provide continued support for anti-doping efforts that educate athletes about the dangers of drug use and help eliminate doping in USOC-recognized amateur athletic competitions. This includes practical prevention work that reaches athletes directly and reinforces a culture of clean sport, emphasizing health risks as well as fairness and sportsmanship. Second, the grant supports athlete drug testing programs along with related research initiatives and educational programming. A key element here is ensuring athletes are informed about the rules governing prohibited substances under the World Anti-Doping Code, including what is banned, what responsibilities athletes have for substances in their bodies, and how anti-doping rules are applied in real competitive environments. Third, the opportunity explicitly includes support for legal efforts needed to enforce compliance with the Code and to adjudicate athlete appeals involving alleged doping violations, recognizing that anti-doping systems rely on due process, consistent sanctions, and an appeals structure that is credible to athletes and sport organizations.
The funding parameters indicate a substantial, high-impact award. The award ceiling is $9,500,000, and ONDCP anticipated making one award, meaning the selected organization would likely serve as the primary national implementer for these supported anti-doping functions under this grant. The funding activity category is listed as Law, Justice, and Legal Services, which aligns with the compliance and adjudication components, even though the supported work also includes scientific, educational, and programmatic testing functions.
Eligibility is geared toward nonprofit entities and certain other applicants as described in the notice. Specifically, eligible applicants include nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and other eligible applicants as further clarified in the opportunity’s additional eligibility text. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of January 23, 2017, and an original closing date of March 23, 2017.
Overall, the grant is designed to sustain a comprehensive anti-doping framework across amateur sport: educating athletes to prevent doping, operating and supporting testing and related research and outreach, and backing the legal mechanisms that ensure the World Anti-Doping Code is enforceable and that disputes are resolved through an established appeals process.Apply for ONDCP ANTI DOPING 2017
