The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) coordinates a government-wide public health and safety approach to reduce drug use and its consequences in the United States. Preventing drug use before it starts is a fundamental element of the DFC program.
Findings from the 2016 DFC National Evaluation indicate that from first to most recent report, youth in DFC communities report not using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and (illicit) prescription drugs in the past 30-days. ONDCP would like to enhance the efforts of the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program by engaging youth to become involved in coalition work and become substance abuse prevention leaders within their communities.
DFC-funded community coalitions are required to work with various sectors of their community to identify local drug problems and implement comprehensive strategies to create community-level change. The contributions of community coalitions constitute a critical part of the Nation’s drug prevention infrastructure. DFC-funded community coalitions are a catalyst for creating local change where drug problems manifest.

Improving Veteran Mental Health Grant Program is a grant from The Cigna Group Foundation that funds nonprofits providing housing stability and wraparound support services to improve the mental health of military veterans. The Foundation committed $9 million over three years addressing housing instability and its mental health impacts, as an estimated 40,000 veterans go without shelter nightly and 1.5 million are at risk of homelessness. Funded programs include mortgage and rental assistance, employment re-entry training, and housing development for veterans. Eligible nonprofits must leverage evidence-informed programs and align with at least one goal: increasing permanent housing, improving housing affordability, or enhancing wraparound services for veterans transitioning from shelters.
NOT-OD-26-112 released a draft NIH Biosafety Policy for Research Involving Biohazards on August 19, 2026. It would replace the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules, extend IBC jurisdiction from engineered molecules to wild-type agents, toxins and prions, impose 24-hour incident reporting, and make the Biosafety Officer a federally defined role. Here is what actually changes and how to respond before the October 19, 2026 deadline.

It bans dangerous gain-of-function research outright, gates potential DGOF behind government-wide review, and creates International Research of Concern — a research-security regime wearing biosafety clothing. Penalties run to five-year debarment and False Claims Act exposure.
