PREVENT Workshop: Moving Towards Violence Prevention
What does the workshop cost?
Thanks to funding provided by the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at CDC, your cost to attend the workshop is minimal. The workshop is available to individuals and small teams of violence prevention practitioners from throughout the United States and US Territories.
Registered participants will receive the following assistance:
 Registration and program fees covering tuition, materials and the option of some assistance from a coach after the program to begin work on an action plan
Hotel room for two nights (does not include incidentals such as phone calls, movie rentals, room service, Internet service, etc.)
Meals and snacks including dinner on the first and second days, continental breakfast on the second and third days, lunch on the second day, and snacks during the sessions. Participants will be responsible for additional meals.
As a registered participant, you may also apply for a travel stipend to help defray some of the cost of transportation to and from the workshop.
Travel stipends
The goal of the travel stipend is to help as many participants as possible attend the workshop who do not have other sources of travel support. If you are interested in a travel stipend, ask for a Travel Stipend Request form as part of the registration process.
The Travel Stipend Request asks for an estimate of your transportation cost (with documentation such as a Mapquest directions and mileage report or a quote from an airline) as well as a signed statement of need approved by your manager or organizational authority. Travel stipend request forms will be sent to you if requested on the Registration Form on the PREVENT website and will be processed prior to the scheduled workshop. You will receive your travel stipends after participation in the workshop. We encourage you to travel as a team if possible, in order to save on costs. And, if your team needs travel assistance, please apply at the same time.
Stipends are based on need and are not expected to cover all costs associated with travel to the workshop. Stipends, up to an expected maximum of $200.00, can help cover only the following kinds of expenses:
• Mileage at rate of 37.5 cents per mile for those driving over 150 miles one way; or
• Air, train or bus fare
DOES not include taxi fare, parking costs and other expenses not specified
