Opportunity Summary:
The Models of Exemplary, Effective, and Promising Alcohol or Other Drug Abuse Prevention Programs on College Campuses grant (CFDA 84.184N) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education aimed at finding, validating, and widely sharing college campus strategies that reduce alcohol and other drug abuse. The basic idea is not only to fund prevention work, but to spotlight campus programs that have strong evidence behind them, label them as exemplary or effective, and then disseminate what they are doing so other institutions can adopt or adapt proven approaches. At the same time, the program also creates a pathway for recognition of programs that are not fully proven yet but show credible signs of impact, classifying those as promising and encouraging continued development and evaluation.
This FY 2010 competition was posted on February 22, 2010, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications on March 31, 2010. The total estimated funding available was $825,000, and the Department anticipated making about 6 awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to commit institutional matching funds as a condition of receiving an award (though applicants could still choose to leverage other resources as part of their overall prevention strategy).
Eligible applicants were institutions of higher education that offer an associate or baccalaureate degree, including public and state controlled institutions and private institutions of higher education. The notice also references "others" with clarification in the official application, but the core eligibility centers on degree granting colleges and universities. A key feature of eligibility is that the program is structured around recognition categories and limits repeat awards to encourage broader participation and to avoid repeatedly funding the same already recognized programs. If an institution receives recognition for an exemplary or effective program, it becomes ineligible for a subsequent award for three years. Promising programs are treated differently: a program recognized as promising may be eligible for a new award once its current grant is no longer active, and "active" is defined broadly to include the entire project or funding period plus any extensions that still allow the grantee to obligate funds. However, if a project is designated promising twice and still does not reach exemplary or effective status, it faces a three year waiting period after the second project period ends before it may reapply.
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically using the Department of Educations e Application system through the e Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes a practical point that matters for compliance: applicants enter their materials into an online system where the information is stored in a database, and the Department will not accept grant applications emailed as attachments. In other words, submission must follow the official electronic workflow rather than informal transmission.
The program sits within the broader Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities National Programs portfolio, and the central deliverable is evidence informed prevention on college campuses, paired with documentation strong enough to justify the labels exemplary, effective, or promising. While the synopsis does not list the full set of required components, performance measures, priorities, or formatting rules, it repeatedly emphasizes that those details live in the official Federal Register application notice and that applicants need to rely on that version for the authoritative requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.
For applicants or institutions trying to locate the full announcement or needing technical help, the listing provides contacts. Julius Cotton was listed as a point of contact for difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically (phone 202-245-6140, email julius.cotton@ed.gov). The program manager contact was Amalia Cuervo at the U.S. Department of Education (400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 10068, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-6450; phone 202-245-7881), with an email option referenced in the synopsis. The synopsis also includes a link to the official Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for FY 2010, which is the document applicants were expected to use to confirm eligibility details, application requirements, performance measures, and priorities.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Models of Exemplary, Effective, and Promising Alcohol or Other Drug Abuse Prevention Programs on College Campuses grant (CFDA 84.184N)?
This is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education focused on identifying, validating, and widely sharing campus-based strategies that reduce alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse. It is designed to fund prevention work and also to recognize strong campus programs and disseminate their approaches so other institutions can adopt or adapt proven strategies.
What is the main goal of this grant program?
The central goal is to support evidence-informed AOD abuse prevention on college campuses and to generate documentation strong enough for a program to be recognized as exemplary, effective, or promising, and then to share what works more broadly across institutions.
How does the recognition system work (exemplary, effective, promising)?
The program is structured around recognition categories:
- Exemplary or effective: Programs with strong evidence behind them that can be highlighted and disseminated as models.
- Promising: Programs that are not fully proven yet, but show credible signs of impact and are encouraged to continue development and evaluation.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education that offer an associate or baccalaureate degree, including public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions of higher education.

Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Applicants were not required to provide institutional matching funds as a condition of receiving an award, though an institution could still choose to leverage other resources as part of its overall prevention strategy.
Can an institution apply again if it has already received recognition or an award?
The program limits repeat awards to encourage broader participation and avoid repeatedly funding the same already recognized programs. The eligibility rules differ depending on the recognition category received:
- If an institution receives recognition for an exemplary or effective program, it becomes ineligible for a subsequent award for three years.
- If a program is recognized as promising, it may be eligible for a new award once its current grant is no longer active (as defined by the program).
- If a project is designated promising twice and still does not reach exemplary or effective status, a three-year waiting period applies after the second project period ends before the institution may reapply.
What does it mean for a grant to be "active" for purposes of reapplying under the promising category?
"Active" is defined broadly to include the entire project or funding period plus any extensions that still allow the grantee to obligate funds. A promising program generally becomes eligible for a new award once the current grant is no longer active under that definition.
How were applications supposed to be submitted?
Applications were intended to be submitted electronically using the U.S. Department of Education's e-Application system through the e-Grants website at http://e-grants.ed.gov.
