In February 2001, the Maine-Harvard Prevention Research Center Steering Committee was formed and includes representation from the Maine Bureau of Health, Maine Department of Education, community coalitions, academic institutions, voluntary health organizations,
professional organizations, among others.

The Steering Committee provides overall direction to the activities of the M-HPRC project. All data collected and analyzed by the M-HPRC are for the use of and belong to the Maine Bureau of Health and Department of Education.
