Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The goals of this 

program are to identify and disseminate 

information about exemplary and 

effective alcohol or other drug abuse 

prevention programs implemented on 

college campuses. Through this grant 

competition, the U.S. Department of 

Education (ED) also will recognize 

colleges and universities whose 

programs, while not yet exemplary or 

effective, show evidence that they are 

promising. 

Priority: This priority is from the 

notice of final priority, definitions, 

requirements, and selection criteria for 

this competition, published in the 

Federal Register on April 1, 2008 (73 FR 

17867). 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2010 and 

any subsequent year in which we make 

awards based on the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, this 

priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 

CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only 

applications that meet this priority. 

This priority is: 

Exemplary, Effective, and Promising 

Alcohol or Other Drug Abuse Prevention 

Programs on College Campuses. 

Under this priority the Department 

provides funding to institutions of 

higher education (IHEs) that have 

implemented an exemplary, effective, or 

promising alcohol or other drug abuse 

prevention program on their campus. To 

meet the priority, in its application, an 

applicant must: 

1. Describe the program that has for at 

least two full years been implemented 

on its campus, including the structure 

and content of the program, the student 

population that is targeted by the 

program, and any unique features of the 

program; 

2. Provide a detailed theoretical basis 

for the program’s effectiveness; 

3. Provide data to demonstrate the 

program’s impact on the target student 

population, including evidence of 

cognitive or behavioral changes, or both, 

among the target population; and 

4. Consent to a site visit to clarify 

information in the application and 

verify evaluation data. 

Under this competition, the 

Department selects an IHE for 

recognition as having an exemplary, 

effective, or promising program based 

on the recommendation from the two 

peer reviewers who conduct the site 

visit. Therefore, note that selection for a 

site visit does not ensure recognition as 

an exemplary, effective, or promising 

program by the Department. 

Recognition Types 

Contingent upon the quality of data 

provided by the applicant and the 

recommendation of site visitors, an 

applicant may earn one of three levels 

of recognition. Level 1 is recognition as 

an exemplary program. An IHE whose 

program is designated as exemplary 

must: 

1. Within 30 days of receiving an 

award, provide to the Department a plan 

to disseminate information about its 

program to other IHEs; 

2. Upon approval by the Department, 

implement its dissemination plan; and 

3. Enhance and further evaluate the 

exemplary program during the project 

period of the grant award. 

Level 2 is recognition as an effective 

program. An IHE whose program is 

designated as effective must: 

1. Within 30 days of receiving an 

award, provide to the Department a plan 

to disseminate information about its 

program to other IHEs;
