Project Here Substance Use Prevention Curriculum Grant
The Project Here Substance Use Prevention Curriculum Grant provides selected middle schools with funding to implement one of three evidence-based prevention curricula: Botvin LifeSkills Training, Michigan Model for Health, or Positive Action. These three curricula were selected to provide schools with the flexibility to choose from universal prevention curricula that have proven to positively impact students’ behavior, while considering their local, school, and community needs.
Project Here has recently launched a Continued Funding Opportunity for previous applicants. The application period is currently open. The application deadline is now closed. For more information about the Continued Funding Opportunity, please visit https://www.mass.gov/info-details/project-here-substance-use-prevention-curriculum-continued-funding-opportunity.
