HEC/News-Announcements

The Higher Education Center is pleased to make the following announcements:

1) The Network: Dr. Margaret J. Barr Research Award

The Network, an organization sponsored by the United States Department of Education, is committed to addressing issues related to the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs and the prevention of violence in institutions of higher education. As part of that effort, The Network is pleased to announce the second biennial competition for a Student Research Award. Both undergraduate and graduate students at Network member institutions are eligible to compete for this award, which will not exceed $5,000. The goal of The Network in sponsoring this award is to encourage relevant prevention inquiry by student researchers and to promote the development of student learning teams within our member institutions. The Network encourages students at member institutions to develop original research proposals consistent with The Network's organizational mission that have the potential to inform the field and increase the effectiveness of prevention efforts on college campuses throughout the
nation.
