Assessing the New Federalism is a multi-year Urban Institute project designed to analyze the devolution of responsibility for social programs from the federal government to the states, focusing primarily on health care, income security, employment and training programs, and social services. Researchers monitor program changes and fiscal developments. In collaboration with Child Trends, Inc., the project studies changes in family well-being. The project aims to provide timely, nonpartisan information to inform public debate and to help state and local decisionmakers carry out their new responsibilities more effectively. Key components of the project include a household survey, studies of policies in 13 states, and a database with information on all states and the District of Columbia, available at the Urban Institute's Web site. This paper is one in a series of occasional papers analyzing information from these and other sources.
South Arkansas Family Practice Residency Program private group practice of board certified family physicians in Camden, arkansas. volunteerfaculty members in the residency program who participate http://www.uams.edu/ahec/SAFPRES.HTM
Extractions: The Application ... Back to AHEC. The central goal of the Family Practice Residency Training Program at El Dorado is to give residents the highest quality of medical education, while delivering sensitive and caring health care to patients from a wide variety of backgrounds. While you spend most of your clinical time in the residency's Family Medicine Clinic under family physician supervision, you also train with physicians whose practices are sub-specialty oriented. In this way, you learn the importance of the relationships of family physicians to those in other specialties. Our program is located in the fourth smallest medical community of any residency program in the United States. We think that is to your advantage! Each July 1st, five residents enter the program with a three-year commitment for a total of 15 residents in training at any given time. Each resident receives faculty supervision and participates in a collegial system of learning and teaching. Through AHEC South's wide variety of practice settings, from rural clinic to regional referral center, you experience the many facets of family practice.

Extractions: The School's Nondiscrimination Policy About the School The School of Social Work, established in 1965 as part of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, became part of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1975. The School began as a graduate program, the only MSW program in the state. Our BSW program, now in candidacy for accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education, began in 1998. The School's mission is "to prepare practitioners who will empower people and communities to meet the challenges of poverty, social and economic injustice, urbanization, and rural isolation, and who will serve oppressed and vulnerable people." The School pursues this mission through providing undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education, through the engagement of faculty and students in community service, and through adding to the practice knowledge of the profession. In support of our mission, we see the School, its faculty, and its students as an important resource to the communities where we offer our program and to the state as a whole. Impelled by our profession's commitment to make social institutions more humane, we seek opportunities to collaborate with public human and community service systems. Current examples include our participation in the Partnership for Public Child Welfare, a major child welfare project in DCFS Areas III and VI, the Hispanic University-Community Partnership project, and the work of MidSOUTH Center on preservice and inservice training for public child welfare workers and supervisors.

Extractions: What is the Arkansas Crime Victims Reparations Program? The Arkansas Legislature created the " Arkansas Crime Victims Reparations Act" when they passed Act 817 in 1987. The legislation provides a method of compensating and assisting victims and their dependents that have suffered personal injury or death as the result of a violent crime, including DWI and hit and run incidents that are a violation of A.C.A 27-53-10. Where does the money come from? The Crime Victims Revolving Fund One of the most positive aspects of the Arkansas Crime Victims Reparations Program is that a portion of the funding comes from individuals who commit crimes. A major source of revenue for the program is the assessment of court costs and fees.
BE AWARE OF A NEW KIND OF FLOOD Office in 1998. Now, our Do Not Call program has restored privacyto thousands of arkansas families, The Attorney general said. http://www.ag.state.ar.us/consumer/ca138.htm
Extractions: 682-0517 or 1-800-482-8982 LITTLE ROCK - The Attorney General today thanked consumers of Arkansas for their strong support of his Do Not Call Program. "This program is designed to keep unwanted telemarketing calls from invading your privacy, and we are pleased to report that more than 25,000 Arkansas residents have sent in their applications to be placed on the Do Not Call list." "I am also happy to announce today that the initial fee of $10.00 has been reduced to $5.00," The Attorney General stated. In 2000, when the "Do Not Call" program began, the initial joining fee was $10.00 for one years service and $5.00 to renew the service the following years. The joining fee will now only be $5.00 per year and $5.00 to renew. Those who have already paid the $10.00 joining fee will have their membership extended an additional 12 months at no cost. In 1999, the Attorney General drafted legislation designed to reduce the number of telephone solicitations directed at Arkansas consumers. Act 1465 of 1999 was overwhelmingly passed by the General Assembly and became Arkansas Consumer Telephone Privacy Act, codified as Ark. Code Ann. § 4-99-401. The General Assembly specifically found unrestricted telemarketing to be an invasion of privacy. Many consumers had expressed outrage over the proliferation of intrusive nuisance calls to their homes from telemarketers. "Telemarketing was the number-one complaint in the Attorney Generals Office in 1998. Now, our "Do Not Call" program has restored privacy to thousands of Arkansas families," The Attorney General said.

Extractions: Research shows that public investments in education and development are more than seven times greater during the school-aged years ($5,410 per child) than during the early learning years ($740 per child). The years between birth and age 5 are the most important for a child's brain growth and development. During this period children are adjusting and becoming more familiar with the world around them. The actual growth of the brain occurs at this time and a foundation for learning has begun. It is during this time that a child's education and quality of care has the most impact. Highlights of the State The School Readiness Initiative Partnership has established an outstanding coalition of state and non-profit agencies. This partnership has defined and targeted Arkansas School Readiness Indicators consisting of Ready Children, Ready Families, Ready Schools and Ready Communities. These indicators will be tracked regularly over time at state and local levels. A Getting Ready For School data report and a Kindergarten Readiness Checklist brochure have been published identifying the indicators for the state.

Research Database Arkansas Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) Program General Information View a brief abstract of this project. View a complete, printer-friendly profile of this project. Evaluator(s) Berkeley Policy Associates Program/Policy Description Arkansas Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) program has the following key welfare strategies: work requirements sooner than 24 months, lifetime limit less than 60 months, denial of TANF to drug felons, over 12 months of transitional child care after leaving TANF, family cap, diversion assistance, and subsidized employment. To accomplish the goals of evaluating TEA implementation across the state and its effects on recipients and their families, we will conduct an evaluation with two main components: a process study and an outcomes study. The process study will address the implementation of the program at both the state and local level. Through interviews with multiple state and local respondents, client focus groups, and observation of program activities, we will document the progress of TEA implementation and how it has varied across counties in the state. We will select a random sample of counties to include in the process study, ensuring that we include counties that accurately represent the diversity of the State of Arkansas.
