The assessment periods for 2001-2002 are October, January, and May.

Journal of Young Investigators Peer-reviewed, Undergraduate Science Journal Issue Four site map Summer Programs Provide High School Students with Career Insight By Jessica Manson The author, Jessica Manson When the school year ends, most high school students look forward to a relaxing yet eventful summer. Some students head to the beach, others to work. Some students even set out to expand their knowledge with scientific research. Scientific research in high school? Yes, it’s true. Nowadays, universities and high schools are teaming up to give high school students summer opportunities that may affect their career goals and future endeavors. Programs such as these have helped me narrow my career plans from medicine to biomedical engineering. These research opportunities generate student interest in science and engineering, stimulate thinking, and increase student awareness of current scientific research. Consequently, the future of scientific research will benefit from these students, who will one day be educated and devoted professionals.

February 5, 2002 2002-R-0113 PRESCRIPTION BENEFIT PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS By: Saul Spigel, Chief Analyst You asked for (1) a description of prescription benefit programs for seniors in other states and (2) a legislative history of the 1985 enactment of the Connecticut Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract to the Elderly (ConnPACE) Program. SUMMARY Twenty-nine states operate a prescription drug benefit program for seniors; several states operate more than one. Most (23) provide a direct benefit, like ConnPACE, where the state pays for all or part of the cost of the prescription, typically for income-eligible people who pay an annual participation fee, co-payments, deductibles, or a combination of these. Several states have recently created price reduction programs in which they restrict the price that participants can be charged, and many states are currently investigating the potential for creating regional buying pools that will enable them to use their combined purchasing power to negotiate steep discounts from drug manufacturers. Tax credits for prescription expenses and state support for people to purchase prescription benefits in the private insurance market are other ways that states help ease the growing cost of prescription drugs for the elderly and, in some states, people with disabilities. ConnPACE was created in 1985 as a 15-month pilot program (PA 85-573). The legislative record suggests widespread support for the concept, but debate centered over whether to establish a full-scale program immediately or go more slowly. The debate also revolved around whether or not the program should cover people with disabilities, income eligibility limits, and the administering department.

States and "Pharmacy Plus" Medicaid Waiver Options Updated: March 25, 2003 At a Glance: Two new types of state-initiated pharmaceutical programs that "partner" with federal Medicaid have attracted growing attention in the past year. This report provides details on: 1) "Pharmacy Plus" subsidy programs that combine state and federal funds, and 2) "Discount-only" pharmaceutical benefits, exemplified by the "Healthy Maine" program. In recent years a number of states have pursued the idea of obtaining federal matching funds through Medicaid for a single benefit and/or coverage for people with incomes above traditional eligibility limits. With pharmaceutical coverage a particular focus, beginning in 2000 several states enacted laws and filed Medicaid 1115 waivers seeking approval for this approach to state pharmaceutical subsidy programs. As of February 27, 2003, five states have received waiver approval for their subsidy plans:
