The U.S. Department of Education (ED) seeks to recognize exemplary, effective, and promising campus-based alcohol or other drug abuse prevention programs that can be practical models for replication and adaptation at other institutions of higher education. The goals of this grant competition are to identify and disseminate information about exemplary and effective alcohol or other drug abuse prevention programs implemented on college campuses. Through this grant competition, ED also will recognize colleges and universities whose programs, while not yet exemplary or effective, show evidence that they are promising.
Through a notice of proposed priority, definitions, requirements, and selection criteria published in today’s issue of the Federal Register, ED invites you to submit comments regarding the proposed priority, definitions, requirements, and selection criteria for the Models of Exemplary, Effective, and Promising Alcohol or Other Drug Abuse Prevention Programs on College Campuses Grant Competition, formerly known as the Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Models on College Campuses Grant Competition.
