CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Notice of Availability of Funds for Parent Drug Corps Program

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of funding availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(hereinafter the ``Corporation'') announces the availability of 
approximately $4,167,000 in grant funds for a nonprofit organization to 
implement the Parent Drug Corps Program (``the Parent Corps Program''). 
The purpose of the grant is to fund a national training system and 
develop a network of volunteer parents engaged in a nationwide 
substance abuse prevention effort. This estimate is a projection for 
the guidance of potential applicants. The Corporation is not bound by 
any estimate in this notice. These funds are available under authority 
provided in Public Law 108-7, the Omnibus Appropriations Act for fiscal 
year 2003. The program is a special volunteer program under section 122 
of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
4992). Applicable regulations include the uniform administrative 
requirements for grants and agreements with institutions of higher 
education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations, 45 CFR part 
2543.
    Eligible nonprofit organizations, including community organizations 
(faith-based and secular), are encouraged to apply. The Corporation 
anticipates receiving fewer than ten applications for this 
solicitation, and anticipates making one grant award under this 
announcement. The Corporation will make an award covering a period not 
to exceed three years. The grant proposal must include a proposed 
budget and proposed activities for the performance period. The 
Corporation is uncertain as to whether additional funds will be made 
available for Parent Drug Corps program grants in subsequent years, and 
has no obligation to provide additional funding beyond the period of 
this grant. Future funding is contingent on performance and the 
availability of appropriations.

    Note: This Notice is not a complete description of the 
activities to be funded or of the application requirements. For 
supplementary information and application guidelines go to the 
Corporation's Web site at http://www.cns.gov/whatshot/notices.html.


DATES: We must receive your application by 5 p.m. on July 14, 2003. We 
anticipate announcing selections under this Notice no later than August 
20, 2003.
