Research you may want to include in your grant-writing is:
The National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP) has been expanded and is now accessible online.
Intended for community organizations and State and local officials, NREPP is a searchable database with up-to-date,
reliable information on the scientific basis and practicality of interventions for prevention and treatment of substance
use and mental health disorders. Users can perform custom searches to identify specific interventions based on desired
outcomes, target populations, and service settings. All interventions listed are reviewed and rated by independent experts.
Two ratings are provided on each intervention—one for the quality of research supporting specific outcomes, and the second
for the availability of implementation and training materials to support adoption of the intervention in routine service
settings. Sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and originally created in the
1990s, NREPP was redesigned based on input from scientific communities, service providers, expert panels, and the public.
For more information about NREPP ratings, how to use NREPP to identify specific interventions, or how to submit an
intervention for review, visit the NREPP Web site. Also see a
SAMHSA news release.
