The Attorney General Consumer and Prescriber Grant Program, directed and overseen by a Special Committee of State Attorneys General (or their authorized designees), is now soliciting grant applications from academic institutions, nonprofit organizations with current 501(c)(3) status with expertise and experience in health-related or consumer protection issues, government agencies, and collaborations of any of the above for grants to promote evidence based prescribing nationwide by either or both item 1 and item 2 above.

The Special Committee is interested in receiving applications that will be national in reach, for example, nationwide projects and projects that impact large geographic and population areas of the United States and that can be combined with other projects to achieve national coverage. Applicants are encouraged to seek out collaborators around the country in order to reach as many regions as possible. Where appropriate to achieve national scope, partnership projects of different agencies or institutions are encouraged.

The Special Committee anticipates that it will make up to six grants ranging from $500,000 to $12,000,000. The precise number and dollar amount for grants will be determined at the time grants are awarded.
