Tobacco-Use Prevention Education: Grades 6-12 Cohort H Tier 1 Renewal

NOTE: The application due date for this program has passed.

Funding Description

Tobacco-Use Prevention Education (TUPE) funds support health education efforts aimed at the prevention and reduction of tobacco use by youth. TUPE in grades six through twelve is funded through a competitive application process. Funding consideration to local educational agencies is based on projects that propose to implement research-validated prevention programs for the general student population, provide youth development activities for both general and priority populations, and provide intervention and cessation services to students currently using tobacco. This funding will allow selected grantees to continue enforcing board-approved tobacco-free school policy and administer the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS).
