Rules from the program listing

Who can apply

Per the statute, an organization eligible for the grant under subsection (a) is any national nonprofit organization that represents, provides technical assistance and training to, and has special expertise and broad, national-level experience in community antidrug coalitions under section 1032 of the National Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1532).

What the money can and cannot pay for

The purpose of the NCI is to serve as the training and technical assistance partner for DFC and non-DFC funded community coalitions across the country by enhancing the capacity of the prevention workforce and others in the prevention community to implement evidence-based interventions. The successful non-federal entity (NFE) is strongly encouraged to be innovative in their approach for meeting the goals of the NCI grant and shall be expected to: provide education, training, and technical assistance for coalition leaders and community teams, with emphasis on the development of effective and sustainable coalitions implementing evidence-based prevention interventions; increase the percentage of coalitions that adopt and implement the core competencies of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and will include dissemination of evaluation tools, mechanisms, and measures to better assess and document coalition performance; provide training and technical assistance for coalition leaders and community teams, with an emphasis on the development of coalitions serving communities disproportionately affected by substance use; and bridge the gap between research and practice by translating knowledge from academia into practical information to be used by community coalitions and infusing it into training materials, training curriculums, and all NCI supported events.
