The Center is expected to be composed of a core, which would handle coordination and administrative responsibilities, and three components, one for each of the areas previously stated. The Center will require a group of highly skilled experts in the areas of substance abuse prevention services, evaluation and research, cost/benefit analysis, needs assessment, instrument development, statistics, computer programming, database and communications systems, other social sciences and training. These experts will support CSAP's mission by providing state-of-the-art knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of substance abuse prevention programs in the State and in communities. Additionally, three options are proposed within the contract. Option I concerns expanding and elaborating effective prevention strategy models, guidelines, and protocols. Option II concerns the development of a prototype for a possible regional system for dissemination, technical assistance, and training and Option III concerns performing developmental work for the future national prevention database and potential community based surveillance systems to monitor alcohol and other drug abuse incidence, prevalence, and related sequelae. It is estimated that 36 months will be required for this project. However, two separate one-year extension options are also included.
