Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2014, $125,000)
Bullying has evolved from "just a part of growing up" to an unacceptable behavior that has long-term consequences on the targets and perpetrators of bullying behavior which can include poor school performance, anxiety, depression, and future delinquent behavior. In addition, bullying can be understood as an opportunity for intervention with troubled youth, potentially preventing the proliferation of more extreme violence throughout the nation's schools and communities. Bullying behaviors occur across a spectrum of age groups from elementary school through high school; it can occur in various forms such as physical, verbal, social isolation or with the use of technology known as cyberbullying. Bullying behaviors occur in social settings that can support or mitigate the act of bullying. Bystanders, targets, and perpetrators of bullying behavior are all part of the process and each participant brings individual risk and protective factors to the situation. Due to the complexities of bullying, identifying universally effective prevention programs and policies is challenging. Results can vary based on the duration of the intervention, the age group or community of individuals being targeted, or the intervention strategy applied. As a result, communities or decision makers may implement bullying prevention initiatives and policies without knowing the effectiveness of these interventions. Building on the activities from the recent (April 9-10, 2014) bullying prevention workshop, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the IOM and the NRC, will convene a committee of about 15 experts to conduct a consensus study that will produce a comprehensive report on the state of the science and policies related to bullying prevention. Based on currently available evidence, the committee will review relevant research and practice-based literatures on bullying prevention and provide recommendations for future research and policy efforts to support bullying prevention Initiatives, which are likely to result in improved health, safety, and well-being of children and youth. Recommendations may be geared toward government agencies, legislatures, foundations, and academic Institutions. The report will inform Institutions serving youth, federal, state, and local policymakers, and other stakeholders. Finally, the report will identify areas for further research to answer questions raised during the study. The committee will meet four times over the course of the study. These meetings will allow for gathering data from a variety of sources, data synthesis, developing background papers, engaging in committee deliberations, and drafting of conclusions and recommendations. The final consensus report will undergo peer review according to Academies policies. nca/ncf
Supplemental Award 1 (Fiscal Year 2015, $50,000)
In addition to finalizing the consensus report document, these additional funds would be used to create opportunities for widespread communication about and dissemination of the consensus report findings and recommendations.
Given the progress of the project thus far, only $50,000 in funds are necessary to support these dissemination and communication efforts. It is anticipated that this report will attract a significant amount of media and press attention as well as attention from all of the study sponsors' respective stakeholders and partners. Additional funds are necessary to ensure that
the study's conclusions and recommendations are broadly disseminated and that the
communications products produced by NAS are accessible to a wide variety of end-users.
Activities will include a range of briefings, presentations, events, and products across a diverse range of settings, modes and stakeholder communities. Examples of potential dissemination products include infographics, Congressional and/or agency briefings, research in brief reports,
presentations at academic and practitioner conferences and other activities as determined by the NAS communications team.
This project contains a research and/or development component, as defined in applicable law.
