The Colorado Office of Behavioral Health has announced a
Request for Proposals for Persistent Drunk Driving and Law Enforcement Fund
Grants. Funds will be used to support primary prevention efforts to impaired
driving and/or the local conditions that facilitate this behavior at all levels
of the community, especially among young drivers. Proposals should focus on comprehensive
primary prevention programs and practices that target both general population
and subgroups that are at high risk for substance misuse and abuse for those
ages 15-34.
Goals to be achieved
within 5 years:
● Identify and prioritize risk factors related to impaired
driving in the identified community
● Create a comprehensive and collaborative community
strategy to change local conditions related to identified risk factors
● Mitigate the effects of local conditions related to
identified risk factors within target population. Of critical importance to
this project is the ability to implement an environmental strategy. A primary
goal of this effort is to create policy change.

city, schools and school districts, universities, local health or human
services departments; other public entities; tribal entities; private
