Prescription drug abuse and misuse is an epidemic in our country. Together, we can make a difference through education, awareness and prevention. Since 2009, the Cardinal Health Foundation has invested $3.5 million in this effort and we are proud to partner with non-profit organizations in communities where our employees live and work to be able to further the education and awareness of this issue. Again this year, the Cardinal Health Foundation will provide grant funding ($5,000 - $15,000) to organizations nationwide that focus on abuse and misuse prevention with adults, youth, college students and the elderly.

Attached you will find the grant program description, criteria and EXTENDED deadline (June 26, 2013) as well as a budget template and electronic application to submit your proposal. Informational webinars on the grant program were held in May; the webinar presentation is attached.
