How does NF manage grants?
New Futures does not accept or fund any unsolicited proposals. We are responsible for managing the Adolescent Treatment Initiative, a five-year project to improve the quality and quantity of adolescent treatment services in the state. Funding has been made available to communities through this project to improve nonresidential treatment. For more information on this initiative, visit our website on the Adolescent Treatment Initiative or contact Joe Diament at jdiament@new-futures.org.

Does New Futures conduct research?
Our focus is on best practices and evidence-based strategies to reduce underage alcohol problems and increase access to treatment. New Futures does not conduct any research internally. We have funded attitude and opinion surveys through the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. To read these surveys, visit our publications page.
