One grant opportunity is currently available for institutions of higher education:
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools
(OSDFS) recently announced the Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Models on
College Campuses Grant Competition for Fiscal Year 2006.
OSDFS expects to award approximately 5 grants, ranging from $125,000 to
$175,000, to institutions of higher education (IHEs) that offer an
associate or baccalaureate degree and have not received an award under
this grant competition during the previous five fiscal years. The goals
of this competition are to identify models of effective alcohol and
other drug (AOD) prevention programs at institutions of higher education
(IHEs) and disseminate information about these programs to other
colleges and universities where similar efforts may be adopted.
Applications are due March 22, 2006. For details, please visit: http://www.edc.org/hec/grants/models/0602/
