********** In late September 2002, CADCA was awarded $2 million from the Drug-Free Communities Support Act to establish and administer the National Community Anti-Drug Coalition Institute. The Institute serves as both a vehicle for coalition-specific substance abuse prevention policy development and a center for coalition training, technical assistance, evaluation, research and capacity building. The Institute presents an extraordinary opportunity to move the coalition field forward in ways heretofore impossible to achieve, a means to harness the experience and passion of community coalition leaders with the best that researchers and government partners have to offer in terms of evidence-based programming, training, implementation and evaluation. Its mission and objectives are ambitious but very achievable. In short, the Institute will be able to help grow new, stronger and more effective coalitions. "This award demonstrates a major show of support from Congress and the federal government and recognizes that CADCA provides first-rate advocacy, training, technical assistance and outreach to community anti-drug coalitions across America ," CADCA Chairman and CEO General Arthur T. Dean said when the grant was announced. "This grant will allow us to devote even more resources and attention to coalitions to assist them in meeting the individual needs of their communities." The Institute is operating as an independent entity, but is linked to CADCA's overall operations. CADCA's current training and technical assistance is now part of the Institute's operations as CADCA moves toward a more efficient and economical delivery system. Primary Institute Partners:
