Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention and Treatment; Proposed Research and Demonstration Priorities for Fiscal Years 1995 and 1996

Résumé

The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) within the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) announces the proposed priorities for research on the causes, prevention, identification, and treatment of child abuse and neglect; on appropriate and effective judicial procedures; and for demonstration or service programs and projects designed to prevent, identify, and treat child abuse and neglect. Comments on the proposed priorities and suggestions for other topics are invited at this time. The actual solicitation of grant applications will be published separately in the Federal Register, at a later date, for each fiscal year, respectively. Solicitations for contracts will be announced, at a later date, in the Commerce Business Daily.

Comments and recommendations about the reauthorization, though welcome, are not the focus of this announcement. In addition, no proposals, concept papers, or other forms of applications for
