    The actual amount available for awards and their allocation may 
vary, depending on unanticipated program requirements and the volume 
and quality of applications. Awards are made for grant periods which 
generally run from 1 up to 3 years in duration. FY 1995 funds for 
services demonstration activities are appropriated by the Congress 
under Public Law 103-333. SAMHSA's policies and procedures for peer 
review and Advisory Council review of grant and cooperative agreement 
applications were published in the Federal Register (Vol. 58, No. 126, 
page 35962) on July 2, 1993.
    The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the 
health promotion and disease prevention objectives of Healthy People 
2000, a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. The 
Center's services demonstration activities address issues related to 
Healthy People 2000 objectives for reducing the risk for using and 
abusing alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
    Additional themes include community empowerment; changes in the 
services delivery system to effect closer collaboration among substance 
abuse prevention activities, mental health services and the health care 
system; prevention and reduction of violent actions; cultural 
competence of prevention strategies; and encouragement to reach out to 
female adolescents at risk for substance abuse and not generally served 
by traditional programs.

1. Program Background and Objectives

    The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) in the Substance 
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) was 
legislatively authorized to conduct a full range of activities directed 
toward reducing the incidence and prevalence of alcohol, tobacco and 
other drug (ATOD) use/abuse. The etiology of ATOD use/abuse is complex 
and multifaceted. From the research on correlates of ATOD use/abuse, it 
has become clear that the factors that place individuals at risk for 
ATOD use/abuse may be found at the individual, family, school, peer 
group, workplace, neighborhood/community, and society levels. The 
ubiquitous nature of these risk factors calls for a multi-level, all-
pervasive prevention response.
    CSAP's substance abuse prevention program is designed to develop 
such a multi-level, all pervasive prevention response. Thus, CSAP 
supports demonstration grants, conference grants, training grants, and 
cooperative agreements in an effort to generate new knowledge and share 
and disseminate what is known about effective strategies for preventing 
ATOD use/abuse. CSAP's approach is comprehensive and multifaceted 
whether it is from the perspective of the individual, the community, 
training of health providers, or in designing its communication 
messages for targeted populations. Recognizing that substance abuse has 
a pervasive impact on education, violence, delinquency, teen-age 
pregnancy, health care, school dropouts, mental health, homelessness, 
and other social problems, CSAP's orientation is to foster linkages 
with the human service providers in these related fields and to ask its 
grantees to explore mechanisms for linking with managed care providers 
in their area.

2. Special Concerns

    SAMHSA's CSAP will address a number of special concerns in FY 1995. 
Emphasis is placed on comprehensive approaches to prevention and 
coordination with other programs and organizations in the public and 
private sectors that attend to the human service needs of populations 
at high risk for substance use/abuse. Emphasis is also placed on 
quality evaluation design and implementation so as to add to knowledge 
of what strategies are effective and ineffective in preventing 
substance use/abuse. For individual-focused (in contrast to community 
focused) approaches, emphasis is placed on using a well-conceptualized 
risk factor approach in designing and evaluating prevention strategies. 
Under two activities, special consideration will be given to applicants 
serving communities characterized by high levels of poverty and other 
forms of socio-economic distress and who are located in formally 
designated Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities.
    Populations that have been targeted for grants or cooperative 
agreements include high risk youth, adolescent females and Native 
Americans. Of particular interest is the effectiveness of strategies 
designed to deal with the impact of victimization and physical and 
sexual abuse that places females at particular high risk for self-
destructive disorders such as substance abuse, eating disorders, and 
suicide. With respect to the Native American population, a major 
interest is the development of strategies to reach and reduce the high 
rate of babies with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or Fetal Alcohol 
Effects (FAE) born to Native American women.
    From the perspective of community strategies, a special area of 
concern [[Page 7982]] involves ascertaining the efficiency and 
effectiveness of developing coalitions of community partnerships to 
eliminate duplication of services, fill gaps in services, and generally 
improve the comprehensiveness and cost efficiency of community 
partnerships. Of additional interest is how such coalitions and 
partnerships can relate to managed care organizations.

3. Criteria for Review and Funding

    Competing applications requesting funding under the specific 
project activities in Section 4 will be reviewed for technical merit in 
accordance with established PHS/SAMHSA peer review procedures.
    Applications that are accepted for review will be assigned to an 
Initial Review Group (IRG) composed primarily of non-Federal experts.
    Applications will be recommended for approval or disapproval on the 
basis of technical merit. Applications recommended for approval will be 
assigned scores according to the level of merit.
    Notification of the IRG's recommendation will be sent to the 
applicant upon completion of the initial review. In addition, the IRG 
recommendations on technical merit of applications over $50,000 will 
undergo a second level of review by the CSAP National Advisory Council 
whose review may be based on policy considerations as well as technical 
merit. Only applications recommended for approval by the Council may be 
considered for funding by CSAP.

3.1  General Review Criteria

    As published in the Federal Register on July 2, 1993 (Vol. 58, No. 
126, page 35962), SAMHSA's ``Peer Review and Advisory Council Review of 
Grant and Cooperative Agreement Applications and Contract Proposals,'' 
peer review groups will take into account, among other factors as may 
be specified in the application guidance materials, the following 
general criteria:
     Potential significance of the proposed project;
     Appropriateness of the applicant's proposed objectives to 
the goals of the specific program;
     Adequacy and appropriateness of the proposed approach and 
activities;
     Adequacy of available resources, such as facilities and 
equipment;
     Qualifications and experience of the applicant 
organization, the project director, and other key personnel; and
     Reasonableness of the proposed budget.

3.2  Funding Criteria for Approved Applications

    Applications recommended for approval by the peer review group and 
the appropriate Advisory Council (if applicable) will be considered for 
funding on the basis of their overall technical merit as determined 
through the review process.
    Other funding criteria will include;
     Availability of funds and geographic distribution of 
grants throughout the United States.
    Additional funding criteria specific to the programmatic activity 
may be included in the application guidance materials.

4. Special FY 1995 Substance Abuse Prevention Activities

    Project activities are grouped in this notice under two sections: 
Grants and Cooperative Agreements.

4.1  Grants

    Four major activities for CSAP grant programs are discussed below.
4.1.1  Knowledge Dissemination Conference Grants
     Application Deadlines: May 10 and September 10, 1995.
     Purpose: To provide support for conferences relating to 
the prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use/abuse and related 
problems such as violence, HIV/AIDS among multiple high risk 
populations (including gay/lesbian/bisexual youth, persons with 
disabilities, etc.) for the purpose of increasing awareness, conveying 
knowledge, improving prevention activities in communities and the 
workplace, and exchanging and disseminating new research findings and 
effective prevention strategies to the field, communities and the 
general public.
     Priorities: Conference planners are encouraged to be 
creative in linking with existing regional efforts, relevant grassroots 
organizations and agencies, CSAP Community Partnerships and High Risk 
Youth grantees in the region, the Regional Alcohol and Drug Awareness 
Resource Network (RADAR) liaisons, and representation from the target 
population on which the conference is focused.
     Eligible Applicants: Public and private nonprofit and 
for-profit organizations including existing CSAP grantees for the 
purpose of disseminating the results of their projects.
     Grants/Amounts: Approximately 20 awards during FY 1995. 
Individual awards may not exceed $50,000 in direct costs. Indirect 
costs are not allowable under this announcement.

Public Education and Dissemination, Center for Substance Abuse 
Prevention, Rockwall II Building, Suite 800, 5600 Fishers Lane, 
Rockville, Maryland 20857, (301) 443-0377.
4.1.2  Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grants for High Risk 
Populations
    The High-Risk Youth Demonstration Grants are divided into the 
following 3 modules:

Module A: High-Risk Youth
Module B: Adolescent Females
Module D: Replications

    A description of each module follows.

[Note: Module C, Alcohol and other Drug Related Violence, is not 
included because this program did not receive funds for new starts 
in FY 1995.]

     Application Deadline: May 10, 1995.
     Purpose:
    Module A: High-Risk Youth. To ascertain the effectiveness of 
multifaceted interventions that address multiple factors in at least 
three of six important life areas or ``domains'' (individual, family, 
school, peer group, neighborhood/community and society) that place 
youth at risk for or protect them from using alcohol, tobacco, and 
other drugs (ATOD).
    Module B: Adolescent Females. To ascertain the effectiveness of 
multifaceted interventions that address factors more specific to 
adolescent females ages 10-21 such as sexual abuse, victimization, post 
traumatic stress syndrome, and depression that places them at risk for 
ATOD use/abuse as well as other self-destructive behaviors such as 
eating disorders, suicide, and prostitution.
    Module D. Replications. To ascertain whether a program of 
prevention strategies that has been shown to be promising in modifying 
ATOD use on a given population in one location can be replicated by the 
original program developer (self-replication) or another investigator, 
using a similar population in another location. Please note that Module 
D is designed as a cooperative agreement.
     Priorities.
    In making award decisions, CSAP will consider applications 
recommended for approval by the IRG and the CSAP National Advisory 
Council. Other award considerations will include:
    Prevention projects that are directed at children of substance 
abusers, [[Page 7983]] latchkey children, children at risk of abuse or 
neglect, preschool children eligible for services under the Head Start 
Act, children at risk of dropping out of school, children at risk of 
becoming adolescent parents, and children who do not attend school and 
who are at risk of being unemployed.
    Applicants from communities characterized by high levels of poverty 
and other forms of socio-economic distress; who are engaged in a 
community strategic planning process as evidenced by the preparation or 
submission of an Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community application to 
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture; or who provide services to communities that 
have been designated as Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities.
Applications From Community Based Organizations
     Eligible Applicants.
    Modules A and B: Public and private non-profit organizations e.g., 
units of State or local governments, community-based organizations, 
universities, hospitals, colleges, and Indian Tribes/Tribal 
organizations.
    Module D: In order for CSAP to fully inform the public on what type 
of prevention programs work among high risk youth, it must assess the 
program's replicability. Five projects were selected for replication 
because, on the basis of an initial evaluation, these projects appear 
particularly promising for preventing ATOD use among high risk youth. 
Self-replication is limited to only those 5 CSAP projects selected for 
replication. This is to permit a comparison of the project as 
implemented by the original and new project leadership in order to 
ascertain whether the positive outcomes are a function of the 
prevention strategies employed or the designers and leadership of the 
project. Replication of any one of these 5 programs by other 
investigators is open to the same categories of eligible applicants 
identified above for Modules A and B.
     Grants/Amounts.
    Approximately $19.6 million will be available to support 
approximately 60 awards in FY 1995 under this program as follows:
    Module A. High Risk Youth. Approximately 36 awards averaging about 
$300,000 for a total cost of about $11.478 million
    Module B. Adolescent Females. Approximately 13 grants averaging 
about $300,000 for a total cost of about $4.079 million.
    Module D. Replications. Three (3) awards for self-replication of 
any one of the CSAP designated replication models, averaging about 
$330,000, for a total cost of about $1 million; Nine (9) awards for the 
replication of any one of the CSAP designated replication models by 
another investigator, averaging about $330,000, for a total cost of $3 
million.

4.1.3  Community Prevention Coalitions Demonstration Grant Program
     Application Deadline: May 10, 1995.
     Purpose: To ascertain the feasibility and effectiveness 
of establishing and developing coalitions of multiple community 
partnerships that would work effectively to develop, implement, and 
coordinate programs directed toward: reducing the incidence and 
prevalence of ATOD use and abuse in their communities as well as the 
problems accompanying such behavior such as violence, adolescent 
pregnancy, infants born with FAS/FAE, drug related mortality and 
morbidity, HIV/AIDs, drug related injuries in the workplace, substance 
abuse related crime, mental illness, and in general, improve the health 
and safety of the communities under the aegis of the coalition.
     Priorities: In making award decisions, CSAP will consider 
applications recommended for approval by the IRG and the CSAP National 
Advisory Council. Other award considerations will include: applicants 
from communities characterized by high levels of poverty and other 
forms of socio-economic distress; who are engaged in a community 
strategic planning process as evidenced by the preparation or 
submission of an Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community application to 
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture; or who provide services to communities that 
have been designated as Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities.
     Eligible Applicants: Public agencies such as local, State 
and Tribal Governments; community-based or state-wide private non-
profit organizations/agencies. In either case, the applicant must be 
part of an existing community partnership and must be designated to act 
on behalf of the larger evolving coalition of multiple partnerships 
proposed in the grant application.
     Grants/Amounts: Approximately $33 million will be 
available to support approximately 100-125 awards. CSAP generally will 
expect grants not to exceed $300,000 (for both direct and indirect 
costs). Actual funding levels will depend upon the program design and 
availability of appropriated funds.

4.1.4  Faculty Development Grants for Preventing Alcohol, Tobacco, and 
Other Drug Abuse
     Application Deadline: May 10, 1995.
     Purpose: To support training in substance abuse 
prevention for health care professionals (faculty fellows) located in 
academic institutions.
     Priority: The recruitment of minority faculty candidates 
and women and the inclusion of ethnic and cultural diversity issues in 
the training curriculum.
     Eligible Candidates: Because previously developed 
alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse curriculum guidelines and materials 
can be readily adapted for use by the following health professions 
training programs, CSAP is limiting potential applicants to: accredited 
schools of medicine, osteopathy, public health, nursing, and dentistry; 
schools or departments of social work offering accredited master's/
doctoral programs; university based departments or schools of 
psychology with appropriate accreditation for doctoral level training 
in clinical and/or counseling psychology. These materials were 
developed through (1) the joint National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and 
Alcoholism and the National Institute [[Page 7984]] on Drug Abuse 
Curriculum Models Program; and (2) the preceding Faculty Development 
Program. CSAP encourages applications from Historically Black Colleges 
and Universities and other health profession schools, as described 
above, which can show an enrollment of 25% or higher of minority 
students.
     Grants/Amounts. Approximately 8 grants averaging about 
$250,000 each for a total cost of approximately $2 million.

4.2  Cooperative Agreements

    CSAP's Communications cooperative agreement program is discussed 
below. Substantive Federal programmatic involvement is required in 
cooperative agreement programs. Federal involvement will include 
planning, guidance, coordination, and participating in programmatic 
activities (e.g., participation in publication of findings) and on 
steering committees. Periodic meetings, conferences and/or 
communications with the award recipients may be held to review mutually 
agreed-upon goals and objectives and to assess progress. Additional 
details on the degree of Federal programmatic involvement will be 
included in the application guidance materials.

     Purpose: To demonstrate that alcohol, tobacco, and other 
drug problems can be reduced through effective communication 
strategies.
     Priorities: CSAP has identified two (2) priority 
populations: (1) adolescent females ages 12-20 and (2) Native 
Americans, particularly in relation to reducing the incidence of FAS/
FAE among the infants of Native American women. In addition, other 
field identified and justified high-risk populations may be targeted 
for the development and evaluation of communications strategies in 
response to this cooperative agreement.
     Eligible Candidates: Public organizations such as units 
of State or local governments and private nonprofit and for-profit 
organizations such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and community-

5. Public Health System Reporting Requirements

    The Public Health System Impact Statement (PHSIS) is intended to 
keep State and local health officials apprised of proposed health 
services grant and cooperative agreement applications submitted by 
community-based nongovernmental organizations within their 
jurisdictions.
    Community-based nongovernmental service providers who are not 
transmitting their applications through the State must submit a PHSIS 
to the head(s) of the appropriate State and local health agencies in

6. PHS Non-use of Tobacco Policy Statement

    The PHS strongly encourages all grant and cooperative agreement 
recipients to provide a smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of 
all tobacco products. This is consistent with the PHS mission to 
protect and advance the physical and mental health of the American 
people.
    Specific application guidance materials may include more detailed 
guidance as to how the Center will implement SAMHSA's policy on 
promoting the non-use of tobacco.

7. Executive Order 12372

    Applications submitted in response to most, if not all, of the FY 
1995 activities listed above are subject to the intergovernmental 
review requirements of Executive Order 12372, as implemented through 
DHHS regulations at 45 CFR Part 100. E.O. 12372 sets up a system for 
State and local government review of applications for Federal financial 
assistance. Applicants (other than Federally recognized Indian tribal 
governments) should contact the State's Single Point of Contact (SPOC) 
as early as possible to alert them to the prospective application(s) 
and to receive any necessary instructions on the State's review 
process. For proposed projects serving more than one State, the 
applicant is advised to contact the SPOC of each affected State. A 
current listing of SPOCs is included in the application guidance 
materials. The SPOC should send any State review process 
recommendations directly to:

Office of Review, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration, Rockwall II Building, suite 630, 5600 Fishers Lane, 
Rockville, Maryland 20857

    The due date for State review process recommendations is no later 
than 60 days after the specified deadline date for the receipt of 
applications. The CSAP does not guarantee to accommodate or explain 
SPOC comments that are received after the 60-day cut-off.
    Application guidance materials will specify if a particular FY 1995 
activity described above is not subject to the provisions of Executive 
Order 12372.

    Dated: February 7, 1995.

Acting Executive Officer, SAMHSA.
