ATTENTION: Temporary Unavailability of Department of Education's e-Grants System - Please read the attached notice (Microsoft Word document)

The goal of this grant competition is to provide funds to develop or enhance, implement, and evaluate campus- and/or community-based prevention and early intervention strategies to prevent high-risk drinking or violent behavior among college students.

The project period for this grant is 24 months (two budget periods of 12 months each). We intend the project and budget periods for projects funded under this grant competition to be June 8, 2006 - June 7, 2008. However, awards may be made as late as September 30, 2006. Projects will be funded for one year with an option for an additional year, contingent upon substantial progress by the grantee and the availability of funds.

Note: Applicants requesting two-year projects must submit ED Form 524 and a detailed budget narrative for each of the two years in order to be eligible for funding each year. No funds will be awarded for those years for which a budget request and narrative is not provided. An estimated 14 new awards will be made. Projects will be funded for approximately $100,000 to $150,000 per year depending on the scope of work. These figures are only estimates and do not bind the Department of Education to a specific number of grants or amount of any grant.

This grant competition is open to institutions of higher education, consortia thereof, public and private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, and individuals. If an application is submitted on behalf of a consortium, one entity must serve as the grantee.
