Addendum to PA 99-050

December 1999

ADDENDUM to SAMHSA/CSAT Program Announcement PA 99-050, Comprehensive 
Community Treatment Program for the Development of New and Useful 
Knowledge

    The following changes to the appended PA 99-050 modify/clarify the 
Purpose and Rationale, Eligibility, Availability of Funds, Period of 
Support, and Program Description and Project Requirements sections. It 
is important to note that potential applicants for the May 10, 2000 and 
future receipt dates must take the following modifications/
clarifications into consideration before preparing and/or submitting an 
application.

Purpose and Rationale

    (Replace the existing second sentence of the third paragraph 
with the following.)
    Through this Program Announcement (PA), CSAT will support two 
types of grants: (1) Full studies of treatment programs and 
services, and (2) exploratory/pilot studies.

    Note: CSAT will no longer support enhancement/expansion grants 
under this PA; therefore, all references to enhancement/expansion 
grants throughout the PA should be ignored.

Eligibility

    (The second paragraph of the Eligibility section has been 
deleted.)


[[Page 69545]]


    Note: The enhancement/expansion grant category will not be 
funded.

Availability of Funds

    (Replace the existing Availability of Funds section with the 
following.)
    It is estimated that $2.5 million will be available to support 
awards under this PA in FY 2000. The amount of an award is expected 
to range as follows (amounts include direct and indirect costs):

Full studies: up to $500,000;
Exploratory/Pilot studies: up to $250,000;

    Funds will be divided between the two grant categories. The 
number of applications funded in each category will depend on the 
quality of applications as determined by the peer review process. 
Funds may be used to conduct all aspects of data collection and 
evaluation. Limited funds are available to support substance abuse 
treatment intervention services and substance abuse related services 
necessary for successful conduct of the proposed study. Applicants 
are strongly encouraged to verify future receipt dates and 
availability and terms of funding before preparing and submitting 
applications (see Application Receipt and Review Schedule).

Period of Support

    (Replace the existing Period of Support section with the 
following.)
    Support for full studies and for exploratory/pilot studies may 
be requested for up to 3 years. Annual awards will be made subject 
to continued availability of funds and progress achieved.

Plan, (3) Enhancement/Expansion Grants
