Opportunity Information: Apply for WDE WDE 25 001
The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement called "Applied Learning Experiences Related to Drug Control Policy" (Funding Opportunity Number: WDE WDE 25 001; CFDA/Assistance Listing: 95.007). The central purpose is to create structured, real-world applied learning experiences for public health students, where they can take part in rigorous research studies and hands-on data analysis that directly support and inform the National Drug Control Strategy. In practical terms, the award is meant to connect academic training with active drug policy and drug threat questions, so students are not only learning methods in the classroom but also producing usable evidence for decision-makers.
The work supported by the grant focuses on tracking and explaining dynamic shifts in drug use patterns and the consequences that come with those shifts. That includes identifying emerging trends, understanding how drug markets and use behaviors change over time, and analyzing associated public health and public safety impacts. The goal is to generate insights that help officials anticipate new drug outbreaks earlier and respond more quickly and effectively. By strengthening the pipeline between data, analysis, and policy action, the project is intended to improve preparedness and protect the American public.
This opportunity sits at the intersection of education, health, and justice-related policy. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, ONDCP is likely to play an active role during the project period compared with a standard grant, which typically means closer coordination on priorities, deliverables, and how results are translated into strategy-relevant outputs. The description also references hospitals, suggesting that healthcare settings and related data sources may be relevant to the applied learning activities, such as examining overdose-related outcomes, emergency department trends, or other hospital-linked indicators that can signal emerging drug threats.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as defined by the opportunity. ONDCP expects to make one award, with an award ceiling of $56,000. The application deadline listed is August 31, 2025, and the opportunity was created on August 14, 2025. Overall, the funding is designed to support a small, focused effort that combines student training with policy-relevant research, producing timely analyses that can improve how drug control strategy is informed and implemented.Apply for WDE WDE 25 001
