The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) was awarded a $499,446 Project Grant on October 1, 2024 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Financial Assistance for Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program (CFDA 97.132). The grant aims to support educational programs, community outreach, training, research studies, and technical assistance focused on recognizing risk factors, developing intervention approaches, conducting threat assessments, and countering extremist ideologies.
As part of this grant, SIUE has awarded a $761,865 sub-grant to Edventure Partners to design, develop, and manage the Illinois INVENT2PREVENT program. This program will consist of four phases: (1) program planning and development, (2) program implementation, (3) final presentation, and (4) program reporting. The INVENT2PREVENT program will engage students in activities such as registering on a custom-designed project portal, viewing a DHS CP3 recorded video kickoff, conducting primary and secondary research, presenting their concepts in a pitch format, implementing and testing their projects, and submitting a final portfolio for review and judging.
