RWJF: Substance Abuse Policy Research Program - Round XI Part 2 (Small Grants Only)

Sponsor: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)

An initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation ( http://rwjf.org/ ), the Substance Abuse Policy Research Program ( http://saprp.org/ ) is designed to encourage experts in public health, law, political science, medicine, sociology, criminal justice, economics, psychology, and other behavioral and policy sciences to address issues related to substance use, one of the most pressing public health problems facing the United States. Projects are expected to increase understanding of public and private policy interventions to prevent, treat, and reduce the harm caused by the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs.

SAPRP continues to accept Brief Proposals (previously called Letters of Intent) for small grants (under $100,000) on an ongoing basis. Applications are reviewed in cycles, with the next deadline being May 8, 2007.

The primary focus of SAPRP grants for this round of funding in the areas of alcohol and other drugs will be to reduce the harmful effects of substance use disorders and addictions by improving the quality of care for the millions of Americans who need treatment.

The primary focus of SAPRP grants for this round of funding in tobacco will be in three primary areas:

1) policies targeted at preventing or reducing tobacco use and exposure;

2) healthcare system strategies that seek to increase consumer demand for and use of proven cessation products/services; and

3) tracking and evaluating the tobacco control policy gains achieved over the past decade.

Preference will be given to applicants who are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are not private foundations as defined under Section 509(a).

Amount: Under $ 100,000

Deadline: May 8, 2007
