DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Single Source Cooperative Agreement Award to the Brigham and 
Women's Hospital, Harvard University, Boston, MA

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

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a single source cooperative agreement 
to Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard University, to support a 
program expansion and extension for the PRISMe multisite study 
Coordinating Center.

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

SUMMARY: The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is publishing this 
notice to provide information to the public concerning a planned single 
source cooperative agreement award in the amount of $500,000 in FY 
2002, and $500,000 in FY 2003 for a project period of two years to the 
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard University. This is not a formal 
request for applications. Assistance will be provided only to Brigham 
and Women's Hospital based on the receipt of a satisfactory application 
that is approved by an independent review group.
    Authority/Justification: The grant will be made under the authority 
of Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The award 
is intended to complete data analyses and write-up of the PRISMe 
multisite study findings, to complete the program manuals for the 
PRISMe study findings, and to produce an archive of the study database 
suitable for public use at the end of the project period. This award is 
being made on a single source basis because Brigham and Women's 
Hospital has coordinated the design and implementation of the PRISMe 
multisite study from which the additional data analyses, write-ups of 
study findings, program manuals, and archived database will be drawn. 
Making the award to another entity would require additional start-up 
time and costs, significant loss of critical information, as well as 
duplication of previously completed work.

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for 
this program is 93.243.
