Purpose

Offers funding to states to support the development and delivery of substance use prevention services that strengthen protective factors, reduce risk factors, build resilience, and promote well-being. Strengthens state and community-level capacity to identify and address local substance use prevention issues, such as underage drinking, cannabis use, tobacco, vaping, opioids, methamphetamine, and other substances. Assists states in building the capacity of community prevention providers to implement evidence-based, evidence-informed, and community defined evidence-based prevention strategies and programs. Includes a focus on delivering prevention services to underserved communities.

Funds must be primarily used to support capacity building. Applicants can use 1 or both models to support the development of substance use prevention capacity and services:
