DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Supplemental Awards to Current High Risk Youth 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 currently funded
grantees in the CSAP's Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant
Program for High Risk Populations (specifically, Module A: High Risk
Youth; Module B: Female Adolescents; and Module C: Alcohol and Other
Drug (AOD)-Related Violence Among High Risk Youth grantees). Excluded
are grantees under Module D: Replication of Model Programs for the
Prevention of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) Uses Among High
Risk Youth.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available
[[Page 19277]] approximately $1 million in Fiscal Year 1995 for up to
20 supplemental awards to existing grantees in Modules A, B, and C of
its Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant Program for High
Risk Populations. The supplemental funding is intended to demonstrate
the differential effectiveness of incorporating an HIV/AIDS Prevention
curriculum into an ongoing substance abuse prevention program as
compared to providing such a curriculum as a stand-alone activity.
Youth at risk for ATOD use are also at risk for precocious and
unprotected sexual behavior. Because there is so much overlap between
the youth at risk for ATOD use and those at risk for HIV/AIDS, as a
result of unprotected sexual behavior, it is logical to consider
enhancing an ATOD prevention program with an HIV/AIDS prevention
curriculum.
Only currently funded grantees in Modules A, B, and C are eligible
to apply for supplemental funding. Eligibility is limited to existing
grantees because, within the one year time frame of this supplement,
available funds can be used more efficiently by existing grantees with
established infrastructures, a clientele under care and an evaluation
staff and program in place. Module D grantees are excluded because this
added project would interfere with their design to replicate a CSAP
high risk youth model program.
To apply for a supplemental award, a currently funded CSAP grantee
in Module A, B, or C must have more than eighteen months remaining in
their current grant as of October 1, 1995. Awards will be limited to
one year and cannot exceed a total of $50,000 in direct and indirect
costs. The receipt date for applications is May 29, 1995. 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, 1995.

Risk Youth Branch, Division of Demonstrations for High Risk

Authority: Awards will be made under the authority of Section
517 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the
High Risk Youth program is 93.144.
Dated: April 12, 1995.
