FASD Center for Excellence

Local, State and Juvenile Court Initiatives

The first wave of projects ended in early 2007 and the request for proposals for a new round of local, State, and juvenile court FASD prevention and FASD diagnosis and treatment initiatives is underway. The requests for proposals can be found at www.fasdcenter.com. Each initiative will decide to achieve one of the two goals listed below.

Reduce the number of infants born prenatally exposed to alcohol by eliminating alcohol consumption by pregnant women
Improve functioning of children and adults with an FASD to improve their quality of life
