The statutory authority for this program (Section 103 of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act) limits eligibility to domestic public and private nonprofit entities that are current or former Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program recipients. The intent of the CARA Support Program is to fund coalition activities in the United States and does not authorize the funding of organizations or activities outside the United States. A CARA legal applicant (an organization applying on behalf of a coalition, the coalition, or the applicant coalition) must reside within the United States and/or the U.S. territories. Refer to Table 3 Statutory Eligibility Requirements: which contains, the minimum eligibility requirements, the evidence required, and where to document the requirement. The table also specifies which attachment to use to provide the necessary evidence to document your compliance with the eligibility requirement. All CARA applications will be jointly screened by ONDCP and CDC to determine whether an applicant meets all the CARA Support Program Statutory Eligibility Requirements identified in Table 3. Applications submitted by eligible coalitions that demonstrate they meet all requirements will then be scored through a merit review process according to the evaluation criteria described in Section E. Review and Selection Process of this NOFO.
