Partnerships in Research Activities
The AFF Program partners extensively with numerous organizations at the
national and local levels in conducting intervention research. There are numer-
ous examples of diversity in partnerships in terms of the size of the organiza-
tions involved and the nature and scope of the projects. A detailed list of federal
agency partnerships established for high-priority populations at risk is found in
Table 7-2.
On the basis of the extensive partnerships described, it is clear that this aspect
of the AFF Program is one of its strengths and that it probably results in numerous
synergies that increase overall effectiveness.
