SBA is looking for applications that

include innovative and creative

approaches to address the Drug-Free

Workplace Act of 1998. The grants

should be viewed as an opportunity to

develop a community-wide

collaborative effort in which a plan for

a system of action aimed at reducing

drug abuse in small businesses can

serve as a national demonstration

model.

SBA will select successful applicants

through a competitive process.

Evaluation criteria will be included in

the program announcement. The

successful applicants will receive a 12-

month grant award to provide financial

and technical assistance to small

businesses seeking to implement drugfree workplace programs.

DATES: SBA will mail the program

announcement to interested parties in

mid-March 2001. The closing date will

be 30 days later. SBA Headquarters

must receive the applications/proposals

by the date and time that will be

specified in the program announcement.
