cities (see below) to become Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) 
program sites.
    The purpose of this Federal Register announcement is to inform 
researchers and analysts with an interest in assisting the 
municipalities listed below with their applications, or with being 
considered as potential ADAM Site Directors at one of the sites listed 
below, that they should contact the appropriate Sheriff or Chief of 
Police directly about the municipality's application.
    Beginning in Fiscal Year 1998, ADAM will operate in 35 sites as an 
expansion and redesign of the 23-site Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) 
program.
    By FY 2000, ADAM is expected to operate in 75 urban sites. ADAM 
will conduct quarterly interviews and drug tests with arrestees in 
urban lock-ups. Municipalities not appearing on the list below may be 
contacted in subsequent application cycles.
    Only one application will be accepted from each municipality. The 
application must come from an official agency that has been solicited 
directly by NIJ. Each ADAM site will be operated by a host police or 
jail organization and a Site Director with research and policy analysis 
experience. Municipalities' applications must include lists of, or 
letters of support from, potential Site Directors.
    Applications are due at NIJ on April 15, 1997. Individuals 
requiring additional information should contact NIJ's Response Center 
at 800-421-6770 (or 202-307-1480 in the Washington DC area).
