Overview:
The Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program (IASAP) IASAP provides funding and technical assistance to federally recognized tribal governments to plan, implement, or enhance tribal justice strategies to address crime issues related to alcohol and substance abuse.

Key objectives of IASAP include:

Establishing a multidisciplinary advisory team to plan, implement, and monitor the proposed strategy.
Identifying, apprehending, and prosecuting individuals who illegally transport, distribute, and use alcohol and controlled substances in tribal communities.
Preventing and reducing alcohol- and substance abuse-related crimes (with a priority on methamphetamine), traffic fatalities, and injuries.
Increasing coordination among all levels of tribal government, law enforcement, the tribal criminal justice system, and tribal support services.
Integrating federal, state, tribal, and local services and culturally appropriate treatment for offenders and their families.

Legislation: The Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Demonstration Program was created by the FY 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Public Law 106-553).

Funding: FY 2009 funding has not yet been determined. FY 2008 funding was $5.18 million.

Eligibility: Applicants are limited to federally recognized tribal governments, including Alaska Native villages and corporations and authorized intertribal consortia (see 25 U.S.C. § 450b[e]). Intertribal consortia must have and retain written authorization from each member tribe-prior to this solicitation's submission deadline-and certify the same in the application.

Tribes that received either FY 2007 or FY 2008 grants ARE NOT ELIGIBLE to apply for FY 2009 funding.
