Atlas Analysis

A strong school-health and student-safety opportunity because it combines a current statewide application window with a substantial $10 million funding pool and direct relevance to youth violence prevention, school-community partnerships and student wellness. The best applications should connect local violence data to a clearly defined intervention strategy, credible community partners and measurable reductions in risk or harm.
