NHTSA Grant for the Collegiate Impaired Driving Learning Collaborative (CIDLC)

This purpose of this Cooperative Agreement (CA or Agreement) is to establish, pilot, and demonstrate the potential of a traffic safety related Learning Collaborative model, where multiple parties support each other toward a shared goal using a proven framework and process, to develop and refine a program to prevent impaired driving among 18–24-year-olds. The Recipient will establish a Collegiate Impaired Driving Learning Collaborative (CIDLC) that will plan, develop, study, and implement a scalable program to promote impaired driving prevention on college and university campuses. The goals of this Cooperative Agreement are to: (1) establish and manage a small group of college and university representatives; (2) facilitate the measurement and understanding of the impaired driving problem on and around college campuses as well as what is being done to combat it; (3) develop, plan and test impaired driving prevention methods, adjusting as needed based on outcomes; (4) develop an effective program based on what is learned; (5) disseminate the results to other schools and stakeholders in a format that is easy to use and replicate; and (5) produce a report evaluating the program, publishing the results and providing a model to establish the program at colleges and universities.
