You must cross out item 2 above If you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding because you have failed to report all interest and dividends on your tax return. For real estate transactions, Item 2 does not apply.

U.S. person. Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to: 1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), 2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or 3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. In 3 above, if applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of anypartnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected Income. Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. For federal tax purposes, you- are considered a person if you • An individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, e A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized In the United States or under the laws of the United States, or • Any estate (other than a foreign estate) or trust. See Regulations sections 301.7701-6(a) and 7(a) for additional information. Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business In the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners' share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership Is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that Is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income, The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and i4volding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States Is In the following cases: • The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity, are. Cat. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 11-2005) 1po� Form W-9 (Rev. 11-2005) • The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and e The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entitles). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of Income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a "saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the recipient has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who Is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items: 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) In the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of Income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China Income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship Income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8. What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments (after December 31, 2002). This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include Interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable Interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: 1. You do not furnish your TIN .to the requester, 2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part If Instructions on page 4 for details), Page 2 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an Incorrect TIN, 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or 5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only). Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the Instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9. Also see Specht rules regarding partnerships on page 1. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty. Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or Imprisonment. Misuse of TiNs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

If the LLC Is a corporation, partnership, etc., enter the entity's EIN. Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations. How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one Immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS -5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.socialsecuritygov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS -4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.rrs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer ID Numbers under Related Topics. You can get Forms W-7 and SS -4 from the IRS by visiting www.irs.gov or by calling 1 -800 -TAX -FORM (1-800-829-3676). If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write "Applied For" In the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give It to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60 -day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester. Note. Writing "Applied For" means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

The program has been part of a Drug Free Communitiesgrantee for several years, and, as such, has been conducting evaluation with Positive outcomes. The strength of this proposal is in its readiness to move to the next level of evaluation and its strong community •backing. They do a very good job detailing the gaps in the current evaluationplan. Unfortunately, they don't do as good a job of detailing how they will overcome those gaps. The major concern is whether the applicant will be able to implement the enhancement given that the. evaluation consultant doesn't have experience as an evaluation researcher but seems more comfortable in the role of program manager. Moreover, the applicant did not provide a really strong enhancement design or a really good description of how the program would use available technical assistance to fill this gap in expertise. EXHIBIT B GRANT PROPOSAL Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski — Principle Evaluator Abstract The cornerstone of MADC's prevention programming, and the program to be evaluated. through the Service to Science initiative, is Recognize. The MADC's Recognize program has earned praise and honors from the Association of Idaho Cities, the Northwest Alcohol Conference, as well as substance abuse professionals throughout the country. The coalition has been advised by those professionals, as well as the CAPT, that to achieve long-term sustainability of the coalition, we should apply for this Service to Science contract. This award would fund a scientifically rigorous evaluation of the Recognize program. If this longitudinal study shows a correlation between recognize and the reduction of substance abuse, we woWd seer to publish our findings and request the program be listed as an evidence -based program on the National Registry of Effective Programs and Policies. This listing would allow the MA DC to sell Recognize to other communities, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainability of the coalition and substance abuse prevention in the City of Meridian.

Program description The Meridian Mayor's Anti -Drug Coalition (MARC) was created in 2004, bringing together key community stakeholders to define and deliver solutions to address grooving concerns of substance abuse as well as its negative effects on area businesses, schools, places of worship, neighborhoods, and the community as a whole. MADC utilizes a holistic approach that sustains and. enhances the quality of life by providing an environment where area families and children will thrive. MADC, through the strength and passion of its members, has made positive strides, bringing effective programs to the community through our members and volunteers. The cornerstone of MADC's prevention programming, and the program to be evaluated through the Service to Science initiative, is Recognize. The MA.DC's Recognize prograrn has earned praise and honors from the Association of Idaho Cities, the Northwest Alcohol Conference, as well as substance abuse professionals throughout the country. The coalition has been advised by those professionals, as well as the CAPT, that to achieve long -terra sustainability of the coalition, we should apply for this Service to Science contract. This award would fund a scientifically rigorous evaluation of the Recognize program. If this longitudinal study shoves a correlation between Recognize and the reduction of substance abuse, we would seek to publish our findings and request the program be listed as an evidence -based program on the National Registry of Effective Programs and Policies. This listing would allow the MADC to sell Recognize to other communities, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainability of the coalition and substance abuse prevention in the City of Meridian. I. The general substance abuse problem to be addressed and its contributing factors and consequences, with supporting evidence from research anchor practice The Recognize program is a holistic prevention and. leadership development program that addresses both specific substances of abuse (alcohol, Marijuana and tobacco) and the protective factors that lead to non-use to include individual/peer factors, family factors, and community T - factors. Recognize is a collaboration between the Meridian Joint School District, local Meridian Businesses, Meridian's PAL youth sports league, Law Enforcement, Community Leaders, and L.E.A.D.E.R.S.H.I.P. Ise. The Recognize program specifically targets high school. students in the Meridian School District and elementary students who play sports with the PAL youth sports league. Research on adolescent substance use has focused on the .relationship between characteristics of individuals and the environments where they live. David Hawkins, Richard Catalano and Janet Miller reviewed the research literature to identify what they called risk and protective factors. This work was later described in a 1992 book entitled "Communities that Care: Action for Drug Abuse Prevention. These factors are divided into four separate categories: Individual/Peer, Family, School and Community. As identified in our logic model in Appendix A., Recognize is designed to address several key risk and protective factors to include: • Increasing student disapproval of substance use by others individual/peer factor The influence of the peer group on children and adolescent's decision making, including the decision to use substances, is one of the most powerful forces parents and teachers have to contend with. School and community programs that provide safe havens and pro - social activities, such as Recognize, can increase exposure to positive peer groups and adult role models and can lessen the influence of the negative peer group. • Increasing students perception of substance abuse risks — xndividual/peer factor Page 4 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski — Principle Evaluator Youth who believe that substance use carries unacceptable risks or is harmful are less likely to use alcohol hol and other substances. Substance abuse prevention programs that health decision making and convey accurate risk information, such as Recognize, teach y g can Increase youth understandingof the risks of substance use and should result in lower use rates o Increasing the belief thatparents disapprove of substance use — family factor The impact of parental attitudes about teen substance use and the conuuunication of that disapprovalg is one of the strongest protective factors that research has identified.

Identify expected ected substance abuse (and other relevant) outcomes of the program p activities and explain why the program will affect those outcomes. Expected short intermediate and long term outcomes from this program include: • Short term: o Increase age of first use by 1 % o Increase the belief that substance use carries unacceptable risks or is harmful by I% o Increase Disapproval of others using substance by 1% o Decrease reported use by friends by 1% • Intermediate o Increase age of first use by 2% o Increase the belief that substance use carries unacceptable risks or is harmful by 3% o Increase Disapproval of others using substance by 2% o Decrease reported use by friends by 3% • Long -terra o Increase age of first use by 410 o Increase the belief that substance use carries unacceptable risks or is harmful by 5% o Increase Disapproval of others using substance by 6% o Decrease reported use by friends by 8% Over the past two years we have seen the short terra outcomes come to fruition. This makes us that the intermediate and long-term outcomes are possible. However, without the believe t g rigorous follow-upevaluation to be developed and implemented with funds from this contract, we will not be able to definitively determine if this program specifically impacted the M - intermediate and long-term outcomes. 4 Explain how the program is innovative; that is, new, original, creative and feasible or .� p p g useful Although there are man programs that contain pieces of the Recognize program, we have not g y p g that found a program that contains all the elements of the Recognize program. Dur hypothesis is t o p g ' nation of the program components is what is getting us the outcomes we are currently the canlb� p g p seeing. w g g We believe tlu-ou h a rigorous fallow -up evaluation of this particular program we will be able to definitively determine the following: • Do the outcomes we see last after the completion of the curriculum based components? • Is it the combination of the components that gives us the outcomes? • Is thisp rograrn replicable in other settings — such as middle schools? If our hypothesis is correct, the answer to each of the questions above will be yes. Through discussions with other communities at CADCA and PAL events, other communities are interested in adopting this innovative program if we can prove this specific program has a casual rn p g p g relationship to the positive outcomes we are seeing in Meridian.

Section 2: Description and Justificationn i of Evaluation Capacity -Building Enhancement X. describe the program's preliminary evaluation plan evaluation plan for Recognize is very simplistic and one that is used by The current project p �' ro rams nationally. Pre and post tests are given, via survey monkey, to both many prevention p g y childienladoles cents who have completed the web based training and to the coaches. This data is y then analyzed b the coalitions contracted evaluator and results are distributed. to members of In addition anecdotal and qualitative data is gathered through structured interviews MA��C. hoof personnel and community leaders.

As MARC is a Drug Free are p y Communitiesg rantee, data is also given to SA HSA. and. ONDCP via their reporting system — COMET. 2. Identify and describe gaps in the preliminary evaluation plan. There are tremendousg aps in the current evaluation plan that include the following • At resent there is no way to determine if Recognize, as a program, is driving the present, y positive outcomes ,we are seeing in Meridian as we have not isolated the outcomes data specific to this program • No follow-up data is gathered to determine long term effects of the program on participants and stakeholders, • No randomized or quasi -experimental evaluation has been conducted on the program. • A data collection system has not been developed to analyze all data gathered for this program to include the combining of qualitative and quantitative data. • A, plan for journal article reporting has not been developed • Systematic empirical research has not been conducted on the program that would provide evidence of statistically significant effectiveness _ - • Nolan for developing a manual for this program. has been developed thus there is no p P way to define "fidelity" 3. Identify the evaluation enhancement(s) to be implemented and explain how this/these will address gaps and limitations of the preliminary evaluation pian. The Recognize evaluation project includes two key components. First the internal evaluation g cavacitv of Recognize will be strengthened in the areas of formatting data for professional analysis, writing articles for peer reviewed journals, and developing an application for NREPP recognition. Second, a contract amendment with the coalitions outside evaluator will provide for additional external program evaluation expertise. The internal caDacitv development component will commit S hours per week of the time of the coalition Project Director exclusively to Recognize program evaluation. activities. This focused evaluation capacity will be committed to collecting any missing data, formatting this data into Excel i spreadsheets for statistical analysis, obtaining specific evaluation training, co-authoring, p with the extenial evaluator, program evaluation articles to be submitted for publication, and co- authoring, with the external evaluator, a proposal for N]PP recognition. The external ro rain evaluation corn orient will include purchase of additional time from the coalition evaluator to Page 8 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski -- Principle Evaluator • •- a Design quasi -experimental erimental evaluation with the variable being the web based curriculum � P and coaches messaging.

Explain the purpose of the proposed enhancement(s) Thep � u ose of the proposed enhancement is to determine the following in regards to the Recognize program; 9 Do the outcomes we see last after the completion of the curriculum based components? • Is it the combination of the components that gives us the outcomes? ® is this program replicable in other settings — such as middle schools? In the ast two ears the 11 A.DC as a coalition has seen the followin results: Outcome 2006 Data II 2008 Data Change Increase age of first use by 1% 37% before age 13 25% before age 13 12 percentage points Decrease frequency of use by I% in 8th raders 63% no use Not collected Decrease frequency of use by 1% in 10tH raders 56% no use 71 % no use 15 percenta. a Dints Decrease frequency of use b 1 % in 12th raders 60% no use 63% no use 3 percentaLe. points Increase disap al of using substances by 1 % 63% 66% 3 percentage points Increase the belief that substance use carries unacce table risks or is harmful by 1% 51% 64% 13 percentage points Decrease re pried use b friends by 1% 60% 53% 7 percentage points Increase the belief that parents disapprove of substance use by 201/0 40% 51% 11 percentage points We theorize we have achieved these results, in part, through the development and implementation of the Recognize program. The purpose of the proposed enhancement is to scientifically prove or disprove this belief. If we can prove this theory, we will move forward with application to NREPP. 5. Explain how the technical assistance provided through the Service to Science initiative helped inform your decisions about the proposed evaluation enhancement(s). Key MADC staff to include: o Elisha Figueroa, Coalition Project Director • Brenda Murdoch, Coalition Coordinator • Lt. John Overton, Community Services Division, Meridian Police Department • Bethany Gadzinski, Coalition. External Evaluator worked with Eric Ohlson, MSW, Service to Science Coordinator, Center for the Application. of Substance Abuse Teelmologies, University of Nevada, Reno in an onsite day long technical Page 9 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Cadxinski -- Principle Evaluator assistance session to determine needed evaluation enhancements. Extensive discussion at this workshop and follow-up emails were conducted to detennine the coalition's readiness to undertake the rigorous evaluation and specific steps necessary for an NREPP submission of the Recognize program. Through this technical assistance, the decision was made by coalition staff and the Mayor of Meridian to pursue an application for funding through the Service to Science Initiative Building Evaluation Capacity for Evidence -Eased Interventions Request for Proposals. This decision was not made lightly but was made due to the information and encouragement we received from the technical assistance provided through the Service to Science initiative. Mr. Ohlson was instrumental in preparing us, by sending RFP examples and through continual dialogue via email, for completing this application. 6. Identify potential barriers to the proposed enhancement(s) and describe how they will be addressed, Whenever an entity undertakes a comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of a program., such as the one MA DC is proposing, that includes multiple components and. a quasi -experimental evaluation, there can be barriers. These barriers include: Failure of one or more of the components to fully engage in the evaluation process Conflicting results that create tensions between the program components As this is a one year project - running out of time to complete the project Each of the components of this program have committed either verbally or in writing to support the evaluation project which leads us to believe that we can address the first bullet point with constant communication and feedback to each of the components. All components understand that the evaluation may or may not show that this program is key to the outcomes we have seen as a coalition. If the results are not positive, each component is willing to work on their piece to increase the viability of the program. As far as barrier three, we believe that through monthly updates on the evaluation, at MARC meetings, we will keep on track to finish in one year. Finally, we believe that based on past performance we can overcome any potential barriers. Page 10 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadxinski — Principle Evaluator C. Section 3: Organizaction's.Readiness to Implement Proposed Evaluation Capacity Enhancement 1. MA.DC's current evaluation capabilities MA.DC currently contracts with an outside evaluator to conduct ongoing coalition and coalition sponsored programs evaluation.. As a Drug Free Communities grantee, evaluation is a key and integral component of the coalition. To describe current capabilities, the following is the most recent evaluation com onent u date: Evaluation Activity Name: "Re co nine" Coaches Survey Status: Coaches Survey for the Recognize program. This instrument is a seven question Complete survey to gather information From coaches on the effectiveness of the Recognize program. Survey results showed the 78.7% of coaches strongly agreed that targeting athletes with substance abuse prevention information is important and 59.6% felt using coaches to instruct athletes regarding the effects of substance abuse definitely affective. Evaluation Activity Name: Meridian police Department Alcohol Server Training.Status: Alcohol Server Training post class survey. This is an eight question survey given after Complete the Meridian Police Department Alcohol Server Training Nine surveys were completed during this reporting period. Results showed that participants generally or strongly agreed with each of the following eight questions, with all ranking question 6 as strongly agree: 1) The training I received covered the declared objectives 2) The training I received is appropriate for nay current duties, or duties expected in the near future 3) This course has increased my knowledge regarding lags surrounding alcohol sales 4) The information was presented in an appropriate level of detail for my use 5) Handouts were easily understandable d} As a result of this training I am less likely to sell to a minor 7) Overall, course objectives, organization and content were of high quality 8) Mould you recolnrnend this training to others? Evaluation Activity Name: Smart Moves, program conducted at the Meridian Status Boys and Girls club Post-test program evaluation utilizing the Thorsteinson assessment tool. This tool Complete asks questions around attitudes, behavioral expectations/intentions, behavioral willingness, and risk of harm. Participants are asked to rate 4 attitude questions from good to un -enjoyable, 8 behavioral expectations/intentions questions from definitely not to definitely will, 8 behavioral willingness questions from not at all to very willing, 6 risk of harm questions from no risks to great risk. Survey results showed an increase in positive attitudes and behavioral expectations/intentions around non-use, a willingness to say no to peer pressure to sue and an understanding of the risk and harm g Y p of using substances. Evaluation A.ctivi Larne: Recognize Status This is a pre/post survey given to PAL baseball players who participated in the Ongoing Summer 2010 season. Twenty-two children participated in the activity and responded to both the pre and post assessment. Results showed that 21 of the 22 participants improved their knowledge and l stayed the same. Page 11 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski -- Principle Evaluator Evaluation Activity Name: Cultural and Linguistic Competence Policy Status Assessment This survey is an adaptation of the Cultural and Linguistic Competence Policy Ongoing Assessment created by Georgetown University for community health centers. This survey is taken each year by the coalition board. Questions revolve around Five key competency areas to include: • Knowledge of diverse communities • Organizational philosophy • Coalition involvement in diverse communities • Resources and linkages • Engagement of diverse communities The results of the survey showed key communities we .have not been able to engage. A plan was created to attempt to engage these communities in the MADC. Evaluation Activi Name: Sixstainabili self assessment Status: Sustainability Self -Assessment Tool developed by The Finance Project. This Ongoing assessment was completed by the coalition Board. This survey is completed each year. This survey looks at eight elements of sustainability — vision, results orientation, strategic financing orientation, board -based community support, key champions, adaptability to changing conditions, strong internal systems, and sustainability plan. Surveys from year one of the DFC grant were compared to the surveys taken 912312010. The surveys showed a marred positive increase from "have begun to implement" to "have made solid progress In implementing the task." Evaluation .Activity Name: 'Teens and Substance Abuse: what Every Parent and Status: Educator Must Know — Sessions 1 This survey was a post workshop survey utilizing a 4 point lickert scale from Complete outstanding (1) to below average (4). The session this evaluation covered was a workshop entitled "Understanding the Social and Emotional Development of Teens." The five questions asked with the corresponding average scores are: 1) Relevancy of Topic --1.6 8 2) Provided new information/ideas --1.84 3) Speaker presentation skills —1.90 4) Quality/relevance of visual aids — 1.87 5) Opportunity for questions —1.8 0 Evaluation Activity Name: Teens and Substance ,Abuse: what Every Parent and Status: Educator Must Know — Session 2 This survey was a post workshop survey utilizing a 4 point lickert scale from Complete outstanding (1) to below average (4).

The Five questions asked with the corresponding average scores are: 1) Relevancy of Topic — 1.36 2) Provided new informationlideas —1.57 3) Speaker presentation skills —1.75 4) Quality/relevance of visual aids —1.64 . 5) Op ortunity for questions — 1.61 Evaluation Activity Name: Teens and Substance Abuse: What Every Parent and Status: Educator Must Know* — Session 3 Page 12 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski — Principle Evaluator This survey was a post workshop survey utilizing a 4 point lickert scale from Complete outstanding (I) to below average (4). The session this evaluation covered was a workshop entitled "Tobacco, Alcohol, Marijuana and Current Drug Trends." The five questions asked with the corresponding average scores are: 1) Relevancy of Topic —1.06 2) Provided new information/ideas —1.09 3) Speaker presentation skills —1..13 4) Quality/relevance of visual aids —1.06 S) 02portunity for questions -1.40 Evaluation Activity Name: Drug Free Idaho Workplace Parenting Course Status: Pre/post evaluation for the DrugFree Idaho Workplace Parenting Course. The Complete assessment used a five point lickert scale with one being positive and five being very negative. The assessment looked at four different areas of the course. The areas and the overall pre and post test scores are: 1) Parental involvement and engagement in children's activities: 2.5 pre and 3.0 post 2) Rules and Family Structure: 2.8 pre and 3.4 post 3) Communication and Emotional Expression: 3.3 pre and 3.9 post 4) Beliefs about substance abuse: 3.1 re and 3.5 post Evaluation Activity Name: Coalition self assessment Status: This assessment is given every six months and looks at 23 specific questions around Ongoing the quality of the MADC. Questions are rated on a 10 point lickert scale with 1 being "strongly disagree" and 10 being "Strongly agree." This reporting period covered the fourth survey cycle. Results of the survey showed continued growth in all areas of coalition development. 2. Identify evaluation needs, gaps, and/or limitations The largest need we have in regards to our evaluation is the lack of funding to conduct extensive evaluations that meet the requirements to become NREPP approved. we believe vire have the right people in place and the ability to create the right tools if we had the funding. without this funding, we are limited to our current evaluation which will not meet the standards for NREPP consideration. 3. Describe organizational resources to he allocated to the proposed enhancement MADC staff and members have agreed to commit the time necessary to support the evaluation of our .recognize program. It is clearly understood by all members that NREPP designation of the Recognize program is a key component of the coalition's sustainability plan. Please see the letter of commitment by MADC Project Director L.E.A.D.E.R.S.H.I.P 1" is committed to participating in the evaluation and providing any information necessary for the evaluation. Our external evaluator has quoted a flat rate for her services and is committed to setting aside as many hours as needed to complete the deliverables of this contract. Please see her letter of commitment, Page 13 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski -- Principle Evaluator 4. Explain how you will use technical assistance from the CAPT to supplement or complement your capacities The project as described is a complex and multi component evaluation. Due to this, MARC and its external evaluator will be in constant contact with our CAPT to assure we are on target and that each step is in compliance with. our ultimate goal of receiving NREPP designation. All technical assistance provided through the CAPT will be utilized. D. Section 4: Staff Capabilities and Project Management, 1. Key internal and external project staff, including evaluation staff or independent evaluators, as well as other staff to be assigned to implement the proposed enhancement and the relevant expertise, qualifications, and skins of staff assigned to this project The key internal prog_ra . evaluation staff for this project is Coalition Project Director Elisha Figueroa. Elisha has been the Coalition Project Director for the past two years. Elisha led the coalitions strategic planning for the current year and was instrumental in moving the Recognize program. forward. Elisha is an MSW who has experience in program planning and evaluation. Elisha will dedicate S hours per week of her time exclusively to Recognize program evaluation activities. This focused evaluation capacity will be committed to collecting any missing data, formatting this data into Excel spreadsheets for statistical analysis, obtaining specific evaluation training, co-authoring, with the external evaluator, program evaluation articles to be submitted for publication, and co-authoring, with the external evaluator, a proposal for NREPP recognition. The key external vrogram evaluation staff is Coalition Evaluator Bethany Gadzinski. Because the Coalition understood early on that we do not have all the experience and capability needed to p P Y lead and update a comprehensive coalition and program specific evaluation, vire have contracted with. Ms. Gadzinski to lead our evaluation efforts. As the formes- Idaho Single State Authority Director for Substance Abuse Prevention and. Treatment, Ms. Gadzinsld has access to a multitude of State, Regional and local data bases. Ms. Gadzinski has been collecting, analyzing and reporting local and State project evaluation data, to include quazi-experimental evaluations, for the past 12 years. In addition to Ms. Figueroa and Ms. Gadzins1d, Lt. John Overton will serve as the liaison between the project and City leadership. Lt. Overton has held the position of Liaison between the Coalitional and the City since the coalition's inception in 2004. Lt. Overton has been instrumental in moving forward both the coalition and the programs it sponsors. 3. Describe the management and administration of the proposed project enhancement. The responsibility for the implementation and timely completion of evaluation enhancement tasks specified for this project will be co -managed by Ms. Figueroa and Ms. Gadzinski. The design of this project includes monthly work sessions at the Meridian Police Department that have been incorporated to develop a highly productive and ongoing partnership between the Evaluation Project, the Coalition and Ms. Gadzinski. we firmly believe that this commitment to ongoing face-to-face co -management meetings will provide the structure and focus necessary for accomplishment of project goals and activities. A portion of each meeting will be dedicated to reviewing the sequential project goals and activities, identifying tasks to be accomplished within the next month, clarifying the respective roles and responsibilities for completing each project activity, and reviewing work that has been completed since the preceding meeting. g Page 14 Meridian Anti -Drug Coalition Bethany Gadzinski -w Principle Evaluator 4.
