The goal of the evaluation is to document the effectiveness of collaborative community efforts to promote safe schools and provide opportunities for healthy childhood development. The evaluation will also demonstrate how community collaborative efforts develop, function, and facilitate change in individuals and the community.
Eligible applicants are public and private agencies, organizations, institutions, or individuals.
Applicants must demonstrate that they have experience in evaluating broad-based community initiatives. The project will be funded for up to 5 years in five 1-year budget periods. Applicants should submit a 5-year project plan. Funding after the first budget period depends on performance of the grantee, availability of funds, and other criteria established at the time of the award. The Notice was published in the Federal Register on June 11, 1999.
