as the AFL legislation, was passed and legislated discretionary funds for research, care, and prevention demonstration projects. Over the past two and a half decades, the AFL has funded a multitude of demonstration and research projects. 
The ratio of types of projects funded changes over time. Currently, AFL funds 57 abstinence education prevention projects, 
32 care projects, and 7 research projects.
