SECOND: Our grants are intended as a learning process.

• Grants are not rewards for people who already know everything and do perfect prevention. They are meant as well to help a group get started to stumble and learn along the way.

• They are a sort of invitation to work together. You get money to support your work. We get to offer you advise and assistance. Together we help provide effective prevention in Michigan.

• It walks you through steps long recognized as necessary for effective prevention. The new application describes them more clearly.
