Summary

The Secretary of Health and Human Services must give grants to public and nonprofit groups so they can run science-based programs in elementary and secondary schools that teach about the harmful effects of anabolic steroids. To get a grant, a group must send an application with the information and in the form and time the Secretary requires. The Secretary will favor programs that use the Athletes Training and Learning to Avoid Steroids (ATLAS) program, the Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise and Nutrition Alternatives (ATHENA) program, or other programs NIDA finds effective. Grant money must pay for education that speaks directly to teachers, principals, coaches, and schoolchildren about steroid harms. Congress authorized $15,000,000 for each year from 2005 through 2010 to carry out these grants.
