Grants
For the chosen population, which mainly includes adolescents between 12 to 18 years who mainly suffer from substance and alcohol abuse, they are different grants that are available and would help support research for different programs. The three agencies that offer grants that fund substance abuse prevention treatment and recovery services include the office of national drug control policy, the department of human and health services, and the Department of Justice (Neema & Chandrashekar, 2021). The different grants provided by various government departments focus on different services, including targeted substance abuse prevention and also targeted treatment and recovery services. Through the department of health and human services, the National Institute on drug abuse provides grant funding for research on different issues related to illegal substance abuse. The federal government, through various departments, plays a significant role in providing grants to fund alcohol and substance abuse-deterrent among adolescents (Heyard & Hottenrott, 2021). The grant that would be most appropriate for use in adolescents between 12 to 18 years would be a grant provided by NIDA, which would help to enhance research on illicit substance abuse among adolescents. It is therefore important for all stakeholders to understand the trends related to illicit substance abuse among adolescents. It is therefore important for stakeholders to understand the trends related to illicit substance abuse among adolescents so as to effectively provide interventions for such challenges. (Heyard & Hottenrott, 2021).
The NIDA grant will help to support efforts to understand the causes of substance abuse behavior among adolescents and develop various strategies that can help to prevent the onset of substance abuse and illicit substance abuse among adolescents.
To secure NIDA funding for my program, I would need to apply through writing to NIDA and clearly highlight the objectives of my program and the expected results.
