Background
High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA's) are areas
identified as having the most critical drug trafficking problems that
adversely impact the rest of the country. The Director of the Office of
National Drug Control Policy designates areas as HIDTA's pursuant to
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as amended. In 1990, five areas were
designated as HIDTA's--Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, and
the Southwest Border, which extends from California through Texas.
The National Institute of Justice is soliciting proposals to
conduct an evaluation of the HIDTA program in the five original sites.
Funding for this award is tentatively set at $100,000. Interested
organizations should call the National Criminal Justice Reference

Institute of Justice Solicitation for an Evaluation of the HIDTA
