The Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute is based on projects funded by the National Institutes of Health grants since the early 1990's. The initial grant was called Project Family. From this early grant the project has evolved into a large-scale program of research on interventions designed to build family and youth competencies, thereby preventing youth substance abuse and other problem behaviors. The program of research has included a number of studies funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, as well as smaller investigations supported by foundations and other agencies (e.g., Center for Substance Abuse Prevention). To date, over $51 million in grants has been secured.
