Item Open Access Bio-pharming in Colorado: a guide to issues for making informed choices(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2004-10) Colorado Institute of Public Policy, authorMaking informed decisions about bio-pharming in Colorado comes down to case-by-case analysis of economic-development benefits and health, environmental and market-related risks. Raising genetically engineered crops for pharmaceuticals and industrial compounds often is called "molecular farming" or "bio-pharming." Scientists have envisioned the technology for 20 years, but application is in its infancy. In summer 2004, the first bio-pharm crop was planted in Colorado. The experimental research crop of 2,000 engineered corn plants puts Colorado at a policy crossroads. This paper addresses these important questions by providing relevant scientific information and frameworks to guide decision-making.Item Open Access Community capacity assessment(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2004) Colorado Institute of Public Policy, author; Jefferson County (Colo.). Division of Human Services, authorSystems of Care (SOC) was developed for the delivery of children's mental health services (Stroul and Friedman, 1996). Given the complexity of services needed, the number of agencies involved in the child's life as well as the disarray of mental health service delivery in general (Grady, 2003), SOC provides a coherent framework upon which to better meet the needs of the child and family. The child and family focus and an emphasis on providing services that are comprehensive, coordinated, community-based, culturally competent and individualized (Stroul, 1996) are SOC principles that fit well with serving the needs of children in the welfare system.Item Open Access Water in 2025: beliefs and values as a means for cooperation(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2006) Colorado Institute of Public Policy, authorThe Rocky Mountain West continually faces complicated and rapidly changing water policy challenges. Today, water issues are fundamentally about the people of the West, and the diverse beliefs and values that they hold. To illustrate how beliefs and values are connected to water challenges, this paper highlights the results of two surveys given to 84 stakeholders in Colorado.
