Pilot Grants are not intended to support the development or implementation of prevention programs, educational programs, treatments, or other interventions that do not have a significant research component. Grants are awarded by AFSP with the understanding that the recipient
individual or institution will not accept funds for the same purpose from any other granting agency.
