The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is the recipient of a $750,000 Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program. Through this five-year grant, UNR's Nevada Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) will implement the Strategic Prevention Framework-Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) to reduce alcohol, marijuana, and e-cigarette use among the diverse undergraduate student population at UNR. The project, titled "Protecting Our Pack from Substance Misuse," aims to expand UNR's prevention capacity and implement evidence-based practices that address risk and protective factors related to substance misuse. Key strategies include a social marketing campaign, universal programs targeting mental health and prosocial behaviors, and selective interventions tailored for specific populations. UNR anticipates reaching at least 5,000 students in the first year through these initiatives, with a total of 25,000 students impacted by the end of the five-year grant period.
