Your award is for $6720. <br />The proposals submitted this year covered a variety of topics and <br />demonstrated a great deal of creativity and planning. <br />Each proposal underwent a rigorous review process. The set of <br />criteria used to score each proposal included: documentation of <br />community need, appropriateness of goal and objectives, <br />appropriateness of outcome and process evaluation methods, <br />effective use of resources, and likelihood of project success. <br />Decisions were based on average scores and level of agreement <br />between the reviewers. <br />Your proposal addressing youth violence displayed several strong <br />qualities: 1) community need for the intervention was well <br />documented; 2) target population is clearly defined and <br />appropriate; and 3) peer - mediation to reduce inter - personal <br />conflict among youth is a promising intervention. <br />In addition, the review process collected recommendations on <br />improving the project. Plan can be improved by including <br />objectives to provide support to student mediators, school <br />faculty, and staff and by having a referral /support services <br />system for the target population. <br />The Injury Prevention Branch requires at least one site visit to <br />your health department during the first quarter of the project. <br />The Program Consultant assigned to you will contact you to set a <br />date and time for this meeting.
