Center for Substance Abuse Prevention Projects of Regional and National Significance

The Center for Substance Use Prevention (CSAP) projects for regional and national significance support states, tribes and communities through grants and cooperative agreements. CSAP programs support prevention and early intervention strategies to reduce the impact of substance use in America’s communities. This is achieved by (1) protecting and strengthening access to high quality and affordable healthcare; (2) expanding access to comprehensive, community-based, innovative, and prevention programs and healthcare services; and (3) enhancing youth-focused promotion of healthy behaviors to reduce the occurrence of preventable injury, illness, and death.
