2008 Evidence-Based Practice Request for Proposals
The Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation seeks to alleviate or prevent psychological disorders and substance abuse among children and adolescents afflicted by or at risk for developing such conditions.
The 2008 Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks to accomplish this by providing funds for the implementation of evidence-based practices that have been designed to provide prevention and early-intervention services to youth at risk for psychological disorders and substance abuse. For this initiative, evidenced-based practices are defined as those that have been empirically validated as being successful in achieving the predicted outcomes.
The ultimate goal of this RFP is to increase access to optimally-effective interventions that have demonstrated success in preventing or treating psychological disorders and substance abuse in children and adolescents through improved family interactions, enhanced parenting skills, decreased child behavior problems, and improved social functioning. Eligible organizations that wish to incorporate select evidence-based practices into their service delivery systems will be considered for grant awards.
