CFDA #84.184H

FY2009

Posting Date: December 15, 2008

Application Deadline: January 30, 2009

Goal

The goal of this grant competition is to provide funds to develop or enhance, implement, and evaluate campus- and/or community-based prevention and early intervention strategies to prevent high-risk drinking or violent behavior among college students.

Grant Awards and Project Period

The project period for this grant is up to 24 months (two budget periods of 12 months each). We intend the project and budget periods for projects funded under this grant competition to be June 2009 to June 2011. However, awards may be made as late as September 30, 2009. Projects will be funded for one year with an option for an additional year, contingent upon substantial progress by the grantee and the availability of funds.

Applicants requesting two-year projects must submit ED Form 524 and a detailed budget narrative for each of the two years in order to be eligible for funding each year. No funds will be awarded for those years for which a budget request and narrative is not provided. An estimated 18 new awards will be made. Projects will be funded for approximately $100,000 to $150,000 per year depending on the scope of work. These figures are only estimates and do not bind the Department of Education to a specific number of grants or amount of any grant.

Eligible Applicants

This competition limits eligibility to institutions of higher education (IHEs), consortia thereof, public and private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations, and individuals. Note: The Grant Competition to Prevent High-Risk Drinking or Violent Behavior among College Students limits eligibility to applicants that do not currently have an active grant under this program. For the purpose of this eligibility requirement, a grant is considered active until the end of the grant’s project or funding period, including any extensions of those periods that extend the grantee’s authority to obligate funds (71 FR 70369).
