National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives
A professional organization dedicated to translating scientific knowledge from the field of prevention science into effective and sustainable practices, systems and policies.
NPSC Projects
The NPSC engages in a range of efforts, including voluntary, prospective, and contracted initiatives.
Below is a list of ongoing efforts.
A Call for the DECADE OF THE CHILD
Our nation is failing its children. Despite our economic power, millions of children in the United States face grim realities. We need an unprecedented mobilization—a comprehensive, coordinated strategy to prioritize the health and well-being of every child in America. Every sector of society must contribute to this transformation. We call on the next administration to proclaim the next ten years the DECADE OF THE CHILD—a national strategy to refocus public policies and systems on whole-child health and well-being and incentivize a program of research that equips policymakers with a roadmap toward this end.
Gamifying an Evidence-Based Parenting Intervention to Improve Access for Caregivers with Addiction to Reduce Substance Use Outcomes in Their Children
Funding for the project is provided in full by the University of Baltimore’s Center for Drug Policy and Prevention (CDPP); Combating Overdose Through Community-level Intervention Initiative (COCLI) Initiative, funded by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)/ONDCP
National Automated Clearinghouse for Evidence-Based Programs and Policies (NACEPP)
The NPSC has conceived of a proposal to create a clearinghouse that will meet the Evidence-Based Policy Act (EBPA) mandate to infuse scientific evidence into the decisions of policy-makers and increase the utility of that information for end-users.
