II. Program Information and Analysis
Population Targeting
Demonstration programs are designed to serve elementary and secondary school students.
Services
A primary focus of this program is the practical application of the findings of education research and evaluation and the integration of research into drug and alcohol abuse education and prevention programs. In FY 1993, the Department of Education funded 21 grants at an average of $241,765.
The funded projects include:
- a demonstration of a model to reduce common risk factors leading to drug and gang activity and to develop position attitudes about self worth and non-involvement in alcohol and drugs (California);
- a demonstration to support the development of self skills for high risk youth, testing seven drug and alcohol prevention theories (Alabama); and
- a demonstration that seeks to improve self-esteem, self-efficiency and academic achievement as a prevention strategy, building resiliency against drug and alcohol abuse (Washington, D.C.).
Program Administration
The program is operated as a grant competition. Projects are administered by institutions of higher education and are funded for up to three years. Awards were made to 16 States and the District of Columbia.
