Program Description

The Grants to Reduce Alcohol Abuse (GRAA) Program is a 3-year grant program funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.  GRAA funds go directly to school districts to provide effective programming and strategies aimed at reducing alcohol use among secondary school students.

CSAP's Southwest CAPT provides training and technical assistance to grantee sites in the southwest region and is providing logistical support for the 2008 Annual GRAA National Technical Assistance Conference on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.
