This program provides financial assistance for the development, expansion, or enhancement of a statewide coalition. The focus of the coalition will be on preventing and reducing the rate of underage alcohol consumption, including binge drinking, among students at institutions of higher education (IHEs), on campuses and in surrounding communities.
At a minimum, Statewide coalitions must include two or more IHEs in the State, and at least one of the following: a non-profit group, a community underage drinking prevention coalition, or another substance abuse prevention group within the State.
To be eligible for a grant under this competition, an applicant must include in its application the following:
- A description of how it will work to enhance or expand an existing statewide coalition, or where no statewide coalition exists, to build one;
- A description of how the applicant will carry out other activities consistent with the purpose of the program and with the objectives embodied in the performance measures in VI.4;
- A description of the applicant's plan to recruit key stakeholders, and a list of the members of the statewide coalition or interested parties involved in the work of the coalition;
- A description of how the applicant intends to work collaboratively with State agencies, and other key stakeholders, on substance abuse prevention and education; and
- A description of the anticipated impact of the activities carried out with funds provided under the grant in preventing and reducing the rates of under-age alcohol use among students at IHEs targeted by those activities.
Contingent upon the availability of funds and the quality of applications, the Department estimates that nine awards will be made between $150,000 to $375,000 for project periods up to 24 months.
