The Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded six five-year cooperative
agreements under Project LAUNCH in September 2008 and anticipates
awarding 12 additional cooperative agreements in September 2009.
Through an intra-agency agreement between SAMHSA and ACF, the
Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation within ACF is
overseeing the development and implementation of a cross-site
evaluation of Project LAUNCH. The purpose of Project LAUNCH is to
promote healthy development and wellness in children birth to 8
years of age. Project LAUNCH is intended to address issues in the
child service system by enhancing systems coordination, integrating
child behavioral health services with other health services, and
incorporating evidence-based programs to address children's healthy
development.
