Deadline- 2 July 2013
Funding opportunity has been announced for use of New Media to Prevent Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS offered by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. The mission of this program is to use new media to promote targeted SA and HIV prevention messages to racial/ethnic populations at high risk for SA and HIV infection.
The program aims to decrease prejudice and discrimination by giving those at risk of contracting HIV the opportunity to share their stories online, allowing for interaction with others in their community, and encouraging healthy behaviors. In addition, volunteer peer mentors/coaches will be used to train and encourage racial/ethnic populations/subpopulations of focus to participate in SA and HIV prevention programs.
Eligibility & Criteria-
Eligibility is limited to past and present SAMHSA’s CSAP MAI grant recipients. SAMHSA is limiting eligibility to these entities because they have the greatest likelihood of achieving success through the SA & HIV/AIDS Prevention and New Media grant program.
