    The Office of Healthy Schools announces a Request for Application to provide continued
    funding to identified Florida public school districts for the
    Tobacco Prevention and Intervention
    Teacher Training Project
    . This grant enables districts to continue to provide a second year of
    quality training for teachers to implement effective tobacco prevention and intervention
    programs in their classrooms and schools. Districts will have the opportunity to continue current
    grant programs, enhance tobacco prevention and intervention efforts, or include new tobacco
    prevention or intervention teacher training as dictated by local needs.
     
    The project award is up to $30,000 per district.
    All applications are due by May 21, 2008.
    The attached Request for Application (RFA) outlines the application process. This is a non-
    competitive grant; however, an internal review of each application will be conducted.
    If you have questions or require assistance in completing this application, you may contact
    Lynn Vinson, Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Tobacco (PANT) Coordinator, or
