The Nebraska Substance Abuse
Prevention Program within the Division of Public Health, Office of Community Health
Development, administers two grant programs.
- The Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities (SDFSC) Program is funded through the U.
S. Department of Education and focuses on the prevention of substance abuse and violence.
- The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Program is funded
through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This
program aims to enhance and sustain substance abuse prevention at the State, regional, and
community levels by supporting data-driven and evidence-based prevention initiatives.

The Nebraska SPF SIG Implementation Toolkit provides SPF SIG grantees with

guidance to help them effectively execute their strategies, including instruction in
developing detailed action plans, as well as tools for monitoring each step of the
implementation process. Below is a link for the complete toolkit as well as an electronic

The Nebraska SPF SIG Strategy Approval Guide
The Nebraska SPF SIG Strategy Approval Guide provides SPF SIG
grantees with information to help them identify and select evidence-based prevention
strategies for their communities. The guide describes population level behavior change
theory, criteria to help determine if a strategy is a good fit for the community, a set of
strategies that are pre-approved for SPF SIG communities, and the process for seeking
approval of strategies for community prevention efforts. Below is a link for the complete
guide, a supplemental list of the pre-approved strategies included in the guide, and
electronic versions of the “Request for Approval of Strategy as Evidence-Based”
