A “One Stop Shop” for all of your
Reporting Data Entry Needs (except GPRA)
 NIDA Blending Initiative: takes the place of the old
dissemination tracking system
(see http://www.attcinsider.org/intranet/c/03_eval_report/nida_reporting/nida_tracking/index.htm)
 CSAT Biannual Report: takes the place of the old
ATTC Activities database
(see http://www.attcinsider.org/intranet/c/projact/index_activity.asp)
 National Evaluation: instead of a separate data entry
system for the external evaluation, the National
Evaluation Team has agreed to incorporate their
questions into this system

After this week, each
Regional Center will have
a unique password.
A self-paced event has a flexible schedule;
a participant does the work when he/she has time available.
“Hosting State/Territory” refers to the state
in which the event physically took place
NIDA Blending Events & Activities
Pre-Blending Product Training/Infrastructure Development/Foundational Activity
Events & Activities that your Regional Center
holds PRIOR to doing an
*OFFICIAL* Blending Product training.
Official Blending Product Training
*OFFICIAL* Blending Product trainings:
The trainings approved by NIDA delivered as written in the approved time frame.
See http://www.nattc.org/aboutUs/blendingInitiative/products2.htm
for more information.
Post-Blending Product Training/Follow-up Activities
Events & Activities that your Regional Center
Holds AFTER doing an
*OFFICIAL* Blending Product training.
Meeting: A formally arranged gathering where two or more people come together for the purpose of
discussing a predetermined topic. For example, the ATTC Network holds three Directors meetings per
year.
Assessment: The process of documenting, usually in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and
beliefs. For example, a survey assessing training needs.
Educational Event: Programs are considered "educational" if they are planned learning experiences
designed to bring about changes in knowledge, skills, or attitudes. Educational events include both
continuing education training and academic courses. For example, one ATTC offers various educational
events that provide instruction to participants on the use of motivational interviewing.
Formal Presentation: Similar to a speech, a presentation is some kind of talk to an audience. Multimedia
audiovisual aids are often used. For example, Dr. Clark gave a formal presentation about the
NIDA/SAMHSA-ATTC Blending Initiative to attendees of the NASADAD conference.
Conference: A gathering of particular individuals invited to consult with, discuss and/or present
information on a particular topic or set of topics in a related field or subject for the purpose of bettering
relations and information exchange between the organizations/markets the individuals represent. For
example, the location of NAADAC’s annual conference changes each year.
Brief Technical Assistance: A jointly planned consultation or series of contacts lasting fewer than three
hours in which the ATTC provides expertise and gives direction to assist in resolving a problem or
improving conditions. Examples include a series of brief conference calls with a certification board to help
revise certification standards, or a one time consultation with a treatment agency to help them address
recruitment issues.
Technical Assistance: A jointly planned consultation generally involving a series of contacts between the
ATTC and an outside organization/institution. During the consultation the ATTC provides expertise and
gives direction toward resolving a problem or improving conditions. This may be a time-limited consultation
or an ongoing series of consultations.

Format: Assessment
Environmental Scan: the systematic process of collecting and analyzing
information for the purposes of planning, forecasting, or choosing a future

Collaborating Partners Defined
CTN Nodes: NIDA Clinical Trial Nodes are the Regional Research and Training Centers ( RRTCs)
which are linked with five or more Community-based Treatment programs (CTPs). Currently there
are 16 Nodes.
SSA: Single State Agency—sometimes the director of the Single State Agency is referred to as the
SSA.
Community Treatment Program: Providers of alcohol and drug treatment services that are
generally licensed/certified, or otherwise approved by their state. For example, The Salvation
Army; New Directions Treatment Center.
Counselor Association: State and National organizations that focus on issues pertinent to the
addictions workforce. For example, NAADAC and/or its state affiliates; IC&RC Boards.
Provider Association: State and National organizations that focus on issues pertinent to publicly
funded and private alcoholism and drug dependency treatment programs. For example, SAAS;
NAATP and their state affiliates.
Recovery Community Organization: Organization comprised of and led by recovery community
members for the purpose of providing peer-to-peer recovery support services. Note that others
who are not in recovery (faith-based groups, treatment providers) may also provide recovery
support services, and what differentiates RCOs is that the services are designed and delivered by
people in recovery (peers). For example, Circles of Recovery, Colorado Springs, Colorado; Central
City Concern, Portland, Oregon.

the total number of participants**
The National Evaluation Team hopes to track what materials/products are being
used in conjunction with ATTC events.
We need to know how many different materials/products were used or
disseminated during the event so that we can ask you to provide details about
each item on the following page.
NOTE: We are not asking you for the total number of materials distributed; rather,
we want to know how many TYPES of materials were distributed. For example, if
you used TAP 21, the ATTC Best Practices Curriculum and an issue of the ATTC
Networker during the event, then you would indicate that you used three (3) types
of materials.
For each material, we will then ask you on the next page to choose/fill in the
source of the material, and whether or not cultural adaptations were made. The
intent of this information is to determine the degree to which peer-reviewed
materials are being used, how much cross-Network sharing of materials is
occurring, and what efforts are being made to culturally adapt materials when
applicable.
The number of types of materials you indicated on the previous screen
determines the number of fields that display on this page.
Last, but not least …
