The Frontier FASD RTC is located at the University of Nevada Reno within the Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies. This RTC serves seven frontier states: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Program activities target nursing and social work students and nursing, social work, and substance abuse professionals in this region. The goals of the Frontier FASD RTC are to provide education and training activities to improve workforce capacity in the prevention and identification of and intervention with FASDs, and to increase the proportion of professionals and preservice students who achieve core competencies related to FASDs. Several products are being developed, including: (1) a face-to-face, competency-based FASD Curriculum Infusion Package (CIP)—comprising 2 to 3 hours of curriculum content—to be integrated into existing nursing and social work undergraduate and graduate courses at major universities in each of the seven states with the ultimate goal of disseminating the CIP to nursing and social work schools nationwide; (2) a 16-week online academic course for social work and nursing students and professionals, and (3) a 5-week online course for practicing nurses and social workers.
