CDC offers grants for tribal youth substance use prevention

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is accepting applications for its Drug-Free Communities Support Program, which aims to reduce youth substance abuse through local coalitions, according to an April 24 report by Youth Today.

The program provides up to $125,000 in funding to eligible organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations. Grants support efforts to build collaboration among public and private agencies and address risk factors that contribute to youth substance use. Applications are due by May 5, 2025.
