Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

 

Supplemental Awards to Current Community Partnership 
Demonstration Program Grantees

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

Action: Availability of Supplemental Funds for Six Currently Funded 
Grantees in the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's Community 
Partnership Demonstration Grant Program.

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

Summary: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available 
approximately $300,000 in Fiscal Year 1994 for six supplemental awards 
to existing grantees in its Community Partnership Program (CPP). The 
supplemental funding is intended to enable these grantees to assume the 
lead role for substance abuse prevention services and collaborate with 
six Department of Justice (DOJ) funded Weed and Seed projects selected 
as sites for a National Performance Review (NPR) Laboratory in support 
of anti-crime and social service delivery strategies. A criterion for 
selection of the NPR sites is the existence of a CSAP Community 
Partnership grant in the community. The total number of NPR applicants 
will therefore be limited to twelve cities where this criterion is met. 
The six Partnership grants will be identified as soon as the DOJ 
completes its reviews and determines the priority scores for selection 
of the six NPR sites. Only these partnership grantees geographically 
collocated with the NPR sites will then be eligible to apply for the 
CSAP supplemental funding. The need for collocation requires this 
noncompetitive selection by CSAP, to support the competitively selected 
NPR sites.
    This funding will implement HHS' commitment to a Memorandum of 
Understanding among the U.S. Departments of Justice, Housing and Urban 
Development, Labor, Agriculture, and Health and Human Services. The 
Department Heads have expressed support for the Administration's 
principle that the Federal Government should use its resources in 
concert to respond more effectively to community needs.
    The NPR lab will focus on enhancing Federal support for 
comprehensive community strategies that utilize Federal, State and 
local public and private resources. It is designed to: (1) identify 
obstacles and possible solutions which communities encounter in 
utilizing Federal resources when designing and implementing 
neighborhood-based programs. This will involve mapping the flow of 
Federal resources into the community; (2) assist neighborhoods to 
refine and enhance their anti-crime and social service delivery 
strategies, and evaluate their programs; and (3) implement flexible 
funding approaches which involve the leveraging of Federal, State, 
local public and private resources in support of a comprehensive 
strategy.
    In order to receive a supplemental award, a 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 cannot 
exceed $50,000 in direct costs plus allowable indirect costs. The 
application receipt and review and the award process will be handled in 
an expedited manner. Those applications judged by an objective review 
panel to have sufficient technical merit to warrant funding will 
receive awards no later than September 30, 1994.
