Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) / Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is pleased to announce the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Local Drug Crises Grants Program.
Purpose
- The purpose of this program is to enhance the efforts of current or former Drug-Free Communities (DFC) recipients to prevent opioid, methamphetamine, and/or prescription drug use among youth ages 12-18 in communities throughout the United States.
- This program also seeks to change the culture and context regarding the acceptability of youth use and misuse of these substances.
Outcomes
- A series of short-term and intermediate outcomes are expected to be achieved as a result of recipient efforts (shown in Table 1 CARA Framework).
- The short-term and intermediate outcomes should be tailored to the Work Plan (i.e., the 12-Month Action Plan) of strategies selected.

- Average One Year Award Amount: $ 50,000;

Eligibility Criteria
- Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education.
- Eligible applicants are community-based coalitions addressing opioid, methamphetamine, and/or prescription drug use/misuse by local youth. They must be a nonprofit (as defined by the IRS as a 501(c) organization); or an entity that the Administrator determines to be appropriate; or part of, or is associated with an established legally recognized domestic, public or private nonprofits organization. For example, state and local governments, federally recognized tribes, state-recognized tribes, urban Indian organizations (as defined in Pub. L.
