Abstract: This grant competition identifies and disseminates 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. Section 4121 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 authorizes funds for drug abuse and violence prevention programs for students enrolled in institutions of higher education. This form requests programmatic and budgetary information needed to evaluate applications based on the authorizing legislation and selection criteria identified in the notice of proposed priority, definitions, requirements, and selection criteria. The application package, which uses programspecific selection criteria, is a revised version of the previously used generic application.

This information collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (18900001). Therefore, the 30day public comment period notice will be the only public comment notice published for this information collection.
