Detail:
The South Dakota Department of Health (DOH) is the lead agency for the statewide management of commercial tobacco use, prevention, and cessation. The South Dakota Tobacco Control Program’s (SD-TCP) efforts are based on those practices shown to be successful and recommended in Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and at the local level. The SD-TCP promotes a coordinated effort to prevent commercial tobacco use and reduce the death and disease caused by tobacco use.
The purpose of the Community/School Partnership Grant is to support local community and/or school-based efforts, promote implementation of the South Dakota Tobacco Control State Plan, and foster collaboration among organizations across the state to ultimately reduce the toll of tobacco use in South Dakota. The Community/School Partnership Grant program is designed to link community and/or school tobacco prevention control efforts in order to achieve maximum impact but a partnership is not required for funding opportunities.
The SD-TCP will provide support for the Community/School Partnership Grant recipients with assistance from Regional Tobacco Prevention Coordinators. The Tobacco Prevention Coordinator (TPC) in your region is available to attend meetings and will be available to provide support and technical assistance throughout the grant period.
