ONDCP’s Drug Court Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement supports training and technical assistance (TTA) to ensure access to evidence-based addiction treatment through drug courts, including when substance use disorder co-occurs with other mental healthconditions. ONDCP seeks to reduce drug use and its consequences through evidence-based treatment that leads to long-term recovery, and this cooperative agreement will support the President’s priorities by applying this to the criminal justice system. The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to: (1) educate, train, and produce materials to improve the implementation of evidence-based treatment to individuals with addiction, including when substance use disorder co-occurs with other mental health conditions; (2)decrease criminal justice costs and recidivism rates; and (3) improve access to evidence-based addiction treatment that includes medications for opioid use disorder through drug courts. The cooperative agreement recipient shall:• Use expert practitioners in the science of addiction and evidence-based addiction treatment, as well as integration of treatment into the criminal justice system.• Use licensed behavioral health practitioners.• Provide in-person training, online training, and jurisdiction-specific technical assistanceto a wide range of geographically distributed areas—including rural locations—at thestate, local, and tribal levels.• Ensure close alignment of all TTA materials with the Trump Administration’s policy priorities, including the 2026 National Drug Control Strategy; an evidence-based approach to treating addiction--to include FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder--contingency management, and other evidence-based behavioral health modalities for other substance use disorders; naloxone distribution and naloxone training.• Designate and fund a research or academic organization to conduct an independent assessment of the effectiveness and impact of training and technical assistance conducted under this cooperative agreement. The independent study should involve data collectionfrom state, local, and tribal jurisdictions engaged in cooperative agreement recipient programming.

Expected Outcome: Proposals are expected to contribute to one or more of the following: Quantum-resistant cryptographic primitives, also other than lattice-based approaches if relevant, that enhance the security and privacy of digital wallets, both for natural persons and wallets, as well as the design and implementation of post-quantum solutions for entity authentication and authenticated key establishment over insecure networks; Formal verification tools, improved High-Assurance Cryptographic Software (HACS) approaches and their integration in software workflows, to provide strong security guarantees in post-quantum migration, and enable streamlined evidence-based evaluation of secure systems that use cryptography. Scope: The development of new digital signatures and advanced cryptographic schemes, tailored specifically to the use cases and requirements in the context of wallets/eIDs, for privacy and business applications is highly relevant nowadays. Moreover, these devices need secure connections over insecure networks requiring protocols for entity authentication, authenticated key establishment, as well as Password Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) schemes for ensuring user…
