Guidelines for State Centers

The Regional Alcohol and Drug Awareness Resource (RADAR) Network Guidelines provide each State Center with milestones, objectives, and indicators that will assist in planning, implementing, and assessing achievement of the RADAR Network goals. These guidelines have been agreed upon and deemed operational by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) and a representative of the Single State Authorities (SSA). The Specialty Centers have a parallel set of guidelines tailored to meet their unique needs.

These Guidelines should be followed in accordance with each Center's directives from the State, Federal, or local office that funds the RADAR Network Center. A Center will not carry out activities that countermand the directives of the funding source. It is important to recognize that not all activities and services covered in the Guidelines have to be delivered directly by the RADAR Network member. Service provision and delivery guidelines may be met by formal or informal agreements with other organizations working in partnership or cooperation with the RADAR Network Center. In fact, such arrangements are encouraged.

These Guidelines are operational as of May 2003.
