The Safe Start Promising Approaches Project will develop and support practice enhancements and innovations to prevent and reduce the impact of children’s exposure to violence in their homes and communities. Applicants for that solicitation may apply under one of two categories:
(1) “Strategic Enhancement,” which improves an ongoing evidence-based model, or (2) “Practice Innovation,” which implements a strategy/intervention based on sound theory and scientific literature, which has yet to be evaluated rigorously.
This national evaluation will measure project sites’ efforts to expand current partnerships between service providers that create a comprehensive service delivery system for preventing children’s exposure to family and community violence and reducing its impact. The evaluation will enhance understanding of the scope of the problem of children's exposure to violence in the United States.
