Congratulations to Dr. Seiler and Dr. Ramsey on their $1.85 million grant award
The College of Arts and Sciences is thrilled to announce that The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded a five-year, $1.8 million grant to Dr. Steven Seiler (Sociology) and Dr. Elizabeth Ramsey (Human Ecology). This grant will fund the creation of the Tennessee Tech Center for Addiction Prevention, Research, and Support!
According to Dr. Seiler, “This grant presents opportunities to strengthen partnerships, establish new relationships with more community partners, and, ultimately, for work together to reduce substance misuse in our community and support those living in recovery.”
The three pillars of the project* are prevention, research, and support. Prevention includes ramping up prevention efforts among emerging adults through the Coalition both at Tennessee Tech and within the Putnam County community. The central goal of research is to help coalitions in the Upper Cumberland with anything and everything related to assessment and evaluation and to help our Upper Cumberland coalitions who are seeking or hoping to pursue prevention-related grants with building and/or strengthening their applications. Support will focus on (re)building a collegiate recovery program at Tech for students in recovery along with assisting organizations in the community with their support efforts.
Congratulations Dr. Seiler and Dr. Ramsey on putting Tennessee Tech students and surrounding communities first with your laudable efforts and goals! Wings Up!
*Counties included in this mission are Putnam, Cannon, Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Smith, Van Buren, Warren, and White.
