The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is accepting applications for up to a total of $15.9 million during the next four years for STOP Act grants designed to prevent alcohol use among underage youth in communities across the nation.

The STOP Act program enhances effective local community initiatives for preventing and reducing alcohol use among youth.
