Partners in Prevention

Schools participating in Partners in Prevention applied for implementation grants in late spring of 2019 to begin implementing their chosen evidence-based substance use prevention program. Schools began their selected programs in fall 2019 and will continue over the course of three years (August 2019-June 2022). Schools awarded implementation grants will continue to receive support from EDC and RTI throughout the three-year grant period to support program delivery, data collection, and evaluate the impact of their programs on their individual schools.
