Supplemental Awards to Current Community Partnership 
Demonstration Program Grantees

AGENCY: Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and 
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), HHS.

ACTION: Availability of Supplemental Funds for Currently Funded 
Grantees in the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's (CSAP) 
Community Partnership Demonstration Grant Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available 
approximately $600,000 in Fiscal Year 1994 for approximately 12 
supplemental awards to existing grantees in its Community Partnership 
Program (CPP). The supplemental funding is intended to permit 
currently-funded CPP grantees to build an ongoing communication-
centered activity on their existing infrastructure to further the 
accomplishment of their project's alcohol, tobacco, and other drug 
prevention goals.
    Only currently funded CPP grantees are eligible to apply for 
supplemental funding. Eligibility is restricted because the limited 
funds available can be used most effectively to demonstrate 
communications-centered approaches by creating optimal conditions for 
success in the existing partnerships, where the necessary 
infrastructure and organizational capacity to develop such approaches 
are already in place. The existing Community Partnerships have 
exhibited interest in and the need for communications components to 
supplement their existing array of strategies, and many have 
participated in relevant training offered by CSAP and other 
organizations. This restriction thus will allow more thorough 
demonstrations of the effects of communication-centered approaches by 
linking them to existing partnerships, their needs assessments and 
evaluation measures, rather than starting such projects from the 
beginning.
    To apply for a supplemental award, a CPP grantee must have a 
minimum of one full project year remaining in the current grant as of 
September 30, 1994. Awards will be limited to one year and can not 
exceed a total of $50,000 in direct and indirect costs. The receipt 
date for applications is April 29, 1994. The application receipt and 
review and the award process will be handled in an expedited manner. 
Applications will be reviewed for merit by a panel of expert Federal 
and non-Federal reviewers, and supplements will be awarded on the basis 
of merit and availability of funds no later than September 30, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Robbins at (301) 443-9438 
(Community Prevention and Demonstration Branch, Division of Community 
Prevention and Training) or Ms. Joan White Quinlan at (301) 443-9936 
(Public Education Branch, Division of Public Education and 
Dissemination), CSAP, Rockwall II, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 
20857.

    Authority: Awards will be made under the authority of sections 
501(d)(5) and 515(b)(3) and (9) of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the 
CPP is 93.194.
