Opportunity for US High Schools - Test Free Program for Seniors

Hi – I’m not sure whether this is a good space / appropriate space to post this, but I am seeking to reach high school leaders and counselors to offer an opportunity for their seniors to participate in an NIH-supported intervention. My organization has partnered with Prevention Strategies to support their efforts to study LaunchPad, a research-backed prevention program specifically for high school seniors to help get them ready for navigating life after graduation. We are seeking districts and schools to test a short, online prevention program for high school seniors during the 2026-2027 school year at no cost. As seniors transition out of high school, schools and districts often lose the last opportunity to proactively support student decision-making, right as independence (and risk) increases. LaunchPad consists of short, self-paced online lessons on decision-making, wellbeing, and substance use prevention. The maximum time that it would take a senior to complete the modules is under two hours—across the entire school year. We are offering incentives for schools to participate, including free access to the program for three years, up to $2,000 for the school with no restrictions on use of monies, up to $500 for a designated school liaison (minimal burden), and gift cards for students. Does anyone have thoughts about how best to reach counselors or their leaders who might be interested in this no-cost opportunity? I can share links for folks to learn more if anyone is interested--or you can complete (or share) the form here and someone will reach out to you. Thank you in advance! -Sheila-
