DeMichele, M. T., Noar, A., Baker, D. R., Cook, S. L., & Fisher, D. G. (2023). FY2020 Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Evaluation: Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T).
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate funded RTI International to conduct research and evaluation of the Bay Area Fiscal Year 2020 Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention grant to examine program accomplishments, challenges, and recommendations. A process evaluation was conducted for the three projects that made up the Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant, in addition to an outcome evaluation of its Community Awareness Briefing, Behavioral Analysis, and Prevention Strategies Train-the-Trainer (TTT) courses. To conduct this evaluation, the research team reviewed training curricula and other program materials, conducted an observation of a training, interviewed training participants, and analyzed pre-, post-, and follow-up test data. A brief summary of findings for each project can be viewed in Table ES-A.
