Online N-O-T Application
Read these guidelines FIRST. Then fill out the online application using the button below.
To receive funding and support for N-O-T, applicants must agree to comply with the following guidelines:
Facilitators
- Facilitators must complete or have previously completed the American Lung Association of Colorado’s (ALAC) N-O-T facilitator training prior to the start of N-O-T groups.
- All facilitators must be non-tobacco users for at least 6-months.
- At least 1 N-O-T facilitator from each school/organization must attend the Statewide Facilitator Summit in April 2009.
- You must send one representative from your school/organization
in order for all facilitators to receive their stipend.
Program Implementation
- Facilitators will use the N-O-T program as it was designed without significant change or alteration (may not be shorter than 5 weeks in length).
- The N-O-T program is conducted on school grounds during school hours, unless otherwise permitted by ALAC.
- If the N-O-T program is offered for credit, N-O-T participants will not receive a grade for participation, but rather “credit/no credit.”
- Program participants must remain confidential.
- The N-O-T program is voluntary, not punitive (i.e., cannot be used in lieu of suspension, ticket, or fine for being caught smoking).
Reporting
- Students' pre- and post-tests on Sessions 1 and 10, must be returned to ALAC by June 1, 2009.
- Participant attendance form and a budget reconciliation form showing how funds were spent must also be returned to ALAC by June 1, 2009. Integrity with N-O-T budget and incentives is a must.
- Facilitators must submit 2 online reports for the year:
• Implementation report
• Final report due May 15, 2009

Upon approval of the 2008-09 N-O-T application, schools/organizations will receive:
- N-O-T facilitator training and curriculum (one-day training)
Student workbooks and journals for all participants
- Free student incentives such as water bottles, golf-size pencils, DVDs, posters, and other tobacco educational materials
- Funding via check to the school to cover additional student incentives, substitute teacher costs and travel costs. Funding must be used by May 15, 2009.
