CADCA’s 2021 Got Outcomes! Awards: Due July 26

2021 Got Outcomes! Awards 

Phase I Application Announcement   

Deadline: Monday, July 26, 2021  

Thank you for your interest in CADCA’s 2021 Got Outcomes! Awards process! This is your coalition’s opportunity to receive national recognition for positive community-level outcomes achieved. 

This is the first phase of a two-phase process. In Phase I, CADCA will review and score each coalition’s application and submitted products (e.g., Community Assessment, Logic Model, etc.).  Coalitions scoring in the top 25 percent will advance to Phase II. Advancing finalists will be invited to tell their coalition’s story of how they have contributed to changes in their community-level outcomes. In both phases, coalitions will receive detailed feedback from CADCA’s Evaluation and Research Team. The highest scoring Phase II applicants will receive the prestigious Got Outcomes! Awards in the following categories: 

  • Coalition in Focus: Short-term Outcomes 
  • Coalition of Excellence: Intermediate Outcomes 
  • Coalition of the Year: Long-term Outcomes 

There will also be special recognition through the *NEW* Blue Ribbon Coalition Program. Coalitions who do an exceptional job in updating and utilizing their products will be recognized as a Blue Ribbon Coalition. A *NEW* Blue Ribbon Coalition Event will be held at the 2022 National Leadership Forum to celebrate, happening January 31-February 3, 2022! 

ALL coalitions are welcome to apply. Coalitions in year two of their Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant are required to apply

National Association of Attorneys General Letter to Congress

On Oct. 24, the National Association of Attorneys General released a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees urging for the closure of the hemp loophole, created by a provision in the 2018 Farm Bill that has resulted in the proliferation of hemp-derived THC and other intoxicating products throughout the country. The letter, signed by 39 state and territorial attorneys general, advocates for closing the hemp loophole “to leave no doubt that these products are illegal and that their sale and manufacture are criminal acts.”

What does it really mean for your coalition to be ready to implement a new strategy, program, or policy? In mid-October, CADCA hosted the sixth webinar in its 18-part series, Competencies in Focus. Each webinar explores one of CADCA’s Coalition Competencies, a research-backed framework designed to strengthen coalition work. Developed in partnership with the Center for Public Health Systems Science at Washington University in St. Louis, these competencies are the result of more than three years of research and input from coalition leaders.
