SUMMARY: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), announces the 
availability of FY 2004 funds for Youth Transition Into the Workplace 
Grants (YIW). A synopsis of this funding opportunity, as well as many 
other Federal Government funding opportunities, is also available at 
the Internet site: www.grants.gov.
    For complete instructions, potential applicants must obtain a copy 
of SAMHSA's standard Service-to-Science Grants Program Announcement 
[STS-04 PA (MOD)], and the PHS 5161-1 (Rev. 7/00) application form 
before preparing and submitting an application. The STS-04 PA (MOD) 
describes the general program design and provides instructions for 
applying for all SAMHSA Service-to-Science Grants, including the Youth 
Transition Into the Workplace Grants. Additional instructions and 
specific requirements for this funding opportunity are described below.

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Authority: Section 501(d)(5) of the Public Health Service Act, 
as amended and subject to the availability of funds.

    Youth Transition Into the Workplace Grants (YIW Grants) is one of 
SAMHSA's Service-to-Science Grants. SAMHSA's Service-to-Science Grants 
provide funds to document and evaluate innovative practices that 
address critical substance abuse and mental health service gaps, but 
have not yet been formally evaluated. These grants will help 
organizations that have identified promising new practices to evaluate 
and package those innovations for review and inclusion in the National 
Registry of Effective Programs (NREP), as well as for future research. 
(Information on NREP is at: http://modelprograms.samhsa.gov)
    The purpose of the YIW Grants is to broaden CSAP's prior workplace 
prevention initiatives related to prevention and early intervention, as 
well as related co-morbidity issues for employees and their families. 
Examples of well-researched interventions are: NREP workplace programs, 
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs); drug-free workplace programs; peer 
to peer; health and wellness programs; health risk assessments and 
health care prevention initiatives. Grantees will be expected to 
document, implement, and evaluate workplace prevention/early 
intervention programs tailored for young adult employees ages 16-24. 
Specific attention should be paid to gender, ethnic, cultural, 
linguistic, and occupational variations.
    The YIW Grant Program will be implemented in two phases. Applicants 
must apply for the combined Phase I & II grant, as described in the 
STS-04 PA (MOD). Applications for Phase I or Phase II alone will not be 
accepted. Phase I and II grants will be made as ``cooperative 
agreements.'' As such, grantees will be expected to work with a 
national steering committee to share early findings, apply agreed-upon 
methodologies and analysis techniques, and write cross-cutting 
documents and articles. They will also be expected to participate in an 
OMB approved, confidential, cross-site survey of employees administered 
by the cross-site contract evaluator. Phase I will take place in years 
1-2. During Phase I, applicants will develop or enhance and document an 
existing intervention and collect baseline survey and administrative 
data.
    During Phase II (years 3-5), the intervention/program will be 
implemented and fully evaluated. Phase II will include follow-up survey 
and administrative data collection supporting a cross-site evaluation 
of all Phase II grantees. Grantees completing the 5-year process will 
have sufficient documentation to apply for NREP status.
    It is important to note that SAMHSA/CSAP does not expect that all 
Phase I grantees will necessarily move on to Phase II. Grantees must 
document, to the satisfaction of the Government Project Officer, that 
they have achieved the Phase I Performance Expectations articulated in 
the STS-04 PA (MOD); that they can provide the required performance 
data; and that the practice to be evaluated shows sufficient promise to 
warrant continued funding before the Phase II award will be approved. 
Continuation criteria by which Phase I grantees will be approved for 
Phase II funding is as follows: Baseline survey response rate; baseline 
survey sample size (number of completed surveys); baseline prevalence 
of targeted behaviors (e.g., risky drinking, heavy drinking, illicit 
drug use) among youth/young adult employees; number of employees 
enrolled during Phase I (e.g., total number enrolled); employees ages 
16-24 retention rate; planned intervention design; and demonstrated 
access to the necessary administrative (company) data; and 
documentation of worksite management and other stakeholder interest in 
and support of project (e.g., support letters).
    Background: Workplaces are one of a few important transition points 
for youth in our society, from school to work, and from youth to young 
adult. Research on youthful workers indicates a positive relationship 
between the number of hours worked to social and health problems 
including: Absences from school, negative family relationships, 
delinquency, and alcohol and drug use. Youth working part time (more 
than 20 hours per week) are at greatest risk for use of alcohol and 
illegal drugs. National Household Survey data disclose that almost 73% 
of all current drug users ages 18-49 are employed full or part-time, 
which is more than 8.3 million workers. The highest rate of illicit 
drug abuse and heavy alcohol use is among 18-25 year olds.
    The CSAP workplace prevention research initiative identified a 
variety of successful workplace prevention, early identification, and 
early intervention activities for entire workforces. (For complete 
listings see: http://workplace.samhsa.gov). Yet little is known about 
how well these programs work for younger employees (ages 16-24) and how 
to tailor them for this population. Given the high risk for substance 
abuse of this age group; the growing number of this age group being 
recruited in a wide range of workplace environments; and the lack of 
sufficient knowledge concerning prevention and early interventions for 
this age group within a workplace setting, the workplace is seen as an 
excellent location for a services-to-science program.

II. Award Information

    1. Estimated Funding Available/Number of Awards: It is expected 
that $2.0 million will be available to fund approximately 13 Phase I 
awards only in FY 2004. Phase I awards will be up to $150,000 in total 
costs (direct and indirect) per year for up to 2 years. Phase II awards 
(which are expected to begin in FY 2006) will be for up to $500,000 in 
total costs (direct and indirect) per year for up to 3 years. Awards 
for combined Phase I and II grants may not exceed 5 years. Proposed 
budgets cannot exceed $150,000 in any year for Phase I or $500,000 in 
any year for Phase II. The actual amount available for the awards may 
vary, depending on unanticipated program requirements and the number 
and quality of the applications received.
    Phase I awards will be made for project periods of up to 2 years, 
and Phase II awards will be made for project

[[Page 13550]]

periods of up to 3 years. The project periods for Phase I and Phase II 
awards combined may not exceed 5 years. Annual continuations will 
depend on the availability of funds; grantee progress in meeting 
program goals and objectives; the ability of the grantee to collect 
GPRA and other core data; and timely submission of required data and 
reports.
    2. Funding Instrument: Cooperative Agreement.
    Role of Grantee: Each grantee will retain responsibility for data 
collection, data analysis and interpretation, quality control, and 
preparation of reports and publications specific to each site. The YIW 
Contractor will conduct the cross-site survey. However, grantees will 
be responsible for all work related to survey access, consent 
procedures, response rates, and marketing the survey. Grantees must be 
willing to collaborate with the SAMHSA CSAP staff and participate in 
the cross-site activities. As SAMHSA CSAP, the YIW Contractor, the 
Steering Committee, and grantees will identify new and useful 
methodologies or standardized measures, grantees should be willing to 
consider adaptation of this information as appropriate.
    Cross-site activities will include, but are not limited to: 
Participation in Steering Committee meetings; agreement on the study 
analysis across projects; adoption of cross-site measures and 
instruments; submission of data (which will be kept confidential within 
the specifications of the grantee) to the YIW Contractor throughout the 
study (on an agreed upon schedule) for cross-site analysis and reports; 
support of the cross-site Contractor's collection of survey data (which 
includes GPRA data); and participation in meetings and publications to 
disseminate the findings of the individual project and the overall 
program.
    Participants must be willing to share data (confidentiality of the 
data source will be assured by SAMHSA CSAP), and comply with 
publication and authorship policies to be developed by the Steering 
Committee for this program. Specific activities for future replication 
of these projects in Phase II will include the development of a 
replication training manual.
    Role of Contractor: The YIW Contractor, under direction of the 
SAMHSA CSAP project officer, will be responsible for the collection, 
analysis, and dissemination of cross-site and employee survey data. The 
YIW Contractor shall host the grantee employee survey (including GPRA 
data) and assure confidentiality of that data. The YIW Contractor will 
be responsible for participating as a member of the Steering Committee; 
serving as a repository for and analyzing the cross-site analysis data; 
and for providing technical assistance to grantees, as appropriate.
    Role of Federal Staff: SAMHSA CSAP staff will be active 
participants in all aspects of the cooperative agreements and will 
serve as collaborators with the grantee project directors and 
Contractor. SAMHSA CSAP staff will provide substantial input, in 
collaboration with the grantees and the Contractor, both in the 
planning and conduct of this program.
    SAMHSA CSAP staff involvement may include provision of technical 
assistance; participation in the redesign/modification of grantee or 
cross-site study design; consultation assuring reproducibility of 
results and the development of the replication training manuals; 
arrangement of meetings supporting cooperative agreement activities; 
membership on the Steering Committee and other working groups 
established to meet program goals; and authorship/co-authorship of 
publications to disseminate findings. SAMHSA CSAP staff will be subject 
to the publication/authorship policies to be developed by the Steering 
Committee.
    SAMHSA CSAP will be responsible for arranging and convening 
Steering Committee meetings with assistance from the Contractor; for 
meeting costs not covered by the grantee's and Contractor's budgets 
(i.e., other than individual travel expenses); and for inviting expert 
consultants, selected by the grantees, to serve and assist on the 
Steering Committee and facilitating their participation.
    SAMHSA CSAP will be providing grantees with information and 
findings it has obtained and analyzed over the course of the contract. 
This may include descriptions of operating models of workplace 
prevention programs for youthful populations ages 16-24 incorporating 
substance use/abuse prevention, early intervention, and treatment 
activities and strategies; health, wellness, and safety strategies; 
measurement instruments and tools; and findings from national, State, 
and local surveys and research.
    Role of Steering Committee: The Steering Committee members will 
consist of the project director and evaluator from each project, 
project director and staff of the YIW contract, ex-officios, and SAMHSA 
CSAP staff. SAMHSA CSAP will appoint the Chair of the Steering 
Committee from the pool of grantee members in accordance with the 
majority vote of members, one vote per grantee, one vote by SAMHSA 
CSAP. SAMHSA CSAP will appoint ex-officios from other Federal and/or 
State agencies having exceptional knowledge and experience concerning 
this issue. SAMHSA CSAP staff will participate in, but not chair, the 
Committee. No entity will have veto power. SAMHSA CSAP staff will 
participate as a full member of any subcommittee that is established.
    The Steering Committee will have the primary responsibility for 
agreeing to the cross-site evaluation design, the dissemination of 
findings and products. The Steering Committee will, consistent with the 
provisions of 45 CFR 74.36, develop policies on access to data and 
materials and publications in accordance with the requirements of 
SAMHSA. Publications will be written and authorship decided using 
procedures developed by the Steering Committee. The quality of 
publications resulting from the study will be the responsibility of the 
authors; no SAMHSA clearances will be required. (Note: Publications on 
which SAMHSA CSAP staff are included as authors or coauthors will 
receive internal agency clearance.)
    The Steering Committee will develop its own procedures and is 
expected to develop consensus agreement on most decisions. All 
decisions that cannot be made by consensus will be made by majority 
vote.
    The first meeting of the Steering Committee will be convened at the 
request of the SAMHSA CSAP staff. It is estimated that up to two 
meetings (not to exceed two meetings) will be needed in years 1 and 2 
to develop the final cross-site analysis study design. The first 
meeting will be for 3 days and other meetings should last between 1-2 
days per meeting. In years 3-5, Phase II, 1 day meetings will be held 
2-3 times per year. One meeting per year will be a Steering Committee 
Meeting along with a Knowledge Exchange Meeting to share early findings 
and outcomes with the field. The majority of Steering Committee 
meetings will be held in the Washington, DC area.
    All participants will agree to abide by the decisions and 
recommendations made by the Steering Committee and any required SAMHSA 
approvals set forth in the terms and conditions of this cooperative 
agreement.

Checklist for Application Formatting Requirements

    SAMHSA's goal is to review all applications submitted for grant 
funding. However, this goal must be balanced against SAMHSA's 
obligation to ensure equitable treatment of applications. For this 
reason, SAMHSA has established certain formatting requirements for its 
applications. If you do not adhere to these requirements, your 
application will be screened out and returned to you without review.

--Use the PHS 5161-1 application.
--Applications must be received by the application deadline. 
Applications received after this date must have a proof of mailing date 
from the carrier dated at least 1 week prior to the due date. Private 
metered postmarks are not acceptable as proof of timely mailing. 
Applications not received by the application deadline or not postmarked 
at least 1 week prior to the application deadline will not be reviewed.
--Information provided must be sufficient for review.
--Text must be legible.

     Type size in the Project Narrative cannot exceed 
an average of 15 characters per inch, as measured on the physical page. 
(Type size in charts, tables, graphs, and footnotes will not be 
considered in determining compliance.)
     Text in the Project Narrative cannot exceed 6 
lines per vertical inch.

--Paper must be white paper and 8.5 inches by 11.0 inches in size.
--To ensure equity among applications, the amount of space allowed for 
the Project Narrative cannot be exceeded.

     Applications would meet this requirement by 
using all margins (left, right, top, bottom) of at least one inch each, 
and adhering to the page limit for the Project Narrative stated in the 
STS-04 PA (MOD).
     Should an application not conform to these 
margin or page limits, SAMHSA will use the following method to 
determine compliance: The total area of the Project Narrative 
(excluding margins, but including charts, tables, graphs and footnotes) 
cannot exceed 58.5 square inches multiplied by the page limit. This 
number represents the full page less margins, multiplied by the total 
number of allowed pages.
     Space will be measured on the physical page. 
Space left blank within the Project Narrative (excluding margins) is 
considered part of the Project Narrative, in determining compliance.

--The page limit for Appendices stated in the STS-04 PA (MOD) cannot be 
exceeded. To facilitate review of your application, follow these 
additional guidelines. Failure to adhere to the following guidelines 
will not, in itself, result in your application being screened out and 
returned without review. However, the information provided in your 
application must be sufficient for review. Following these guidelines 
will help ensure your application is complete, and will help reviewers 
to consider your application.

V. Application Review Information

    Evaluation Criteria: Applications will be reviewed against the 
Evaluation Criteria and requirements for the Project Narrative 
specified in the STS-04 PA (MOD). The following information describes 
exceptions or limitations to the STS-04 PA (MOD) and provides special 
requirements that pertain only to YIW grants.
    1.1 Terms: Applicants can be profit or nonprofit entities. 
Workplaces must be either the applicant or a collaborating partner.
    1.2 Review Criteria/Project Narrative: Applicants for YIW grants 
are required to address the following requirements in the Project 
Narrative of their applications, in addition to the requirements 
specified in the STS-04 PA (MOD):
    a. In ``Section A: Statement of Need,'' applicants must identify 
the proposed target population as employees ages 16-24, and 
specifically address their gender, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and 
occupational variations.
    b. In ``Section B: Proposed Approach,'' applicants must describe 
how interventions will be redesigned and adapted for the target 
population, and how they will be implemented successfully in or through 
the workplace.
    c. In ``Section C: Evaluation Design and Analysis,'' applicants 
must describe how they will work with SAMHSA, the YIW cross-site 
evaluator, and other grantees to adopt a common self-report survey to 
measure use/abuse and change of perception of harm, as well as other 
behavioral and attitudinal measures related to substance abuse 
prevention and early intervention programs. Baseline data will be 
collected during Phase I, with follow-up data collection occurring 
during the Phase II grant.
    d. In ``Section C: Evaluation Design and Analysis,'' applicants 
must discuss how they will collect baseline, process, and outcome data 
(e.g., sociodemographic employee; worksite/workplace culture; workers 
compensation; injuries; union/management support levels; and healthcare 
use and costs) and retrospective data where available.
    1.3 Performance Measurement: All SAMHSA grantees are required to 
collect and report certain data, so that SAMHSA can meet its 
obligations under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). 
Grantees of the YIW program will be required to report performance in 
several areas. Applicants must document their ability to collect and 
report the required data in ``Section C: Evaluation Design and 
Analysis'' of their applications.
    Phase I--Phase I of the YIW initiative will include grantees that 
will be at different stages of readiness in their intervention and 
prevention efforts. As such, Phase I measures focus on process. 
Grantees must be prepared to collect and report (as directed by CSAP) 
the following data in Phase I of the YIW initiative:
    a. The number of employees exposed to the intervention. Grantees 
will be expected to support claims of employee enrollment/exposure 
through documentation such as employee sign-up sheets, receipts for 
materials dispersed, or surveys of participants.
    b. The percentage of employees in the worksite population that are 
ages 16-24. Grantees must have the ability to provide records-based 
administrative data that sufficiently describe their worksite 
population. These descriptive data include employee age, sex, race/
ethnicity, tenure with company, union status, termination status, and 
health plan enrollment. Although the data available is likely to vary 
across grantees, they will also be expected to provide other 
information such as absenteeism, earnings, job type/occupation, and 
workplace injuries.
    c. Total number of labor hours spent delivering the intervention. 
Grantees will be required to provide supporting documentation through 
process logs or other time reporting mechanisms that adequately 
document the total labor hours required to do the intervention.
    In addition to the above data, any Phase I grantee providing direct 
services to individuals is required to collect data from service 
recipients as described under 3 below.
    Phase II--Phase II of the YIW initiative will include a smaller 
number of select grantees that will conduct and evaluate prevention/
intervention activities during Phase II. Measures in this second phase 
include process, outcome, and cost measures. Grantees in Phase II must 
be prepared to collect and report the following data:
    a. The number of employees exposed to the intervention by age group 
and demographic characteristics. Grantees will be expected to support 
claims of employee enrollment/exposure through documentation such as 
employee sign-up sheets, receipts for materials dispersed, or surveys 
of participants. In addition, the associated demographic variables will 
be obtained from records-based administrative data.
    b. Total delivery costs of the intervention. These costs are to 
include the following:
    (1) total labor hours used by all personnel that are involved in 
the intervention (paid labor and volunteers);
    (2) total square feet of space used in delivering the intervention 
(paid space and space used free of charge);
    (3) total number of supplies and materials such as brochures, 
handouts, office supplies, computer software, etc. used in the 
intervention (paid supplies and donated/free supplies);
    (4) wages of paid labor (including fringe benefits such as paid 
time off, health insurance, disability benefits, pension, etc. and 
reproduction cost) and the fair market value of volunteer time;
    (5) cost of space used for the intervention (either the rent paid 
or the estimated fair market value of the property given its location 
and total area);
    (6) additional costs related to space use that includes building 
maintenance and utilities;
    (7) unit cost of all supplies and materials;
    (8) depreciation costs of capital resources used in the 
intervention such as furniture, equipment, security system, and 
computers; and
    (9) administrative overheads (either a flat figure or a percentage 
of direct labor costs or total expenditure).

[[Page 13553]]

    Grantees will be required to provide supporting documentation 
through process logs or other time reporting mechanisms that adequately 
document the total labor hours required to do the intervention. In 
addition, grantees must use other costing tools (e.g., DATCAP) to 
accurately capture all relevant intervention-related costs. The YIW 
cross-site evaluation contractor, along with CSAP, will provide a 
template along with technical assistance for capturing this 
information.
    An electronic version of this form, along with instructions for 
completing the form, are available on the SAMHSA web site, along with 
this NOFA. Hard copies of the form and instructions for completing the 
form will be provided in the application kits distributed by SAMHSA's 
National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information.
    c. Outcome Data. Once service delivery begins, outcome data must be 
collected for those ages 16 and older using CSAP's GPRA data tool for 
adults. In addition, if applicants are targeting any of the five 
domains of prevention-related human behaviors and attitudes [Alcohol, 
Tobacco, and Other Drug Use (ATOD); Individual/Peer; Family; School; or 
Community], they must use CSAP Core Measures for adults. All 
applications must (1) identify which core measures the applicant 
proposes to collect for their program and (2) describe their ability to 
collect and report data on these measures. The awardee and the CSAP 
project officer will jointly finalize the selection of core measures 
based on the nature of the program model selected and the domain within 
which the program will be implemented. This will be accomplished 
following the notice of award. CSAP is currently finalizing additional 
core measures specific to ages 16-25. These will be communicated to 
grantees as soon as they are approved and cleared through OMB.
    The following documents should be consulted when planning for data 
collection and reporting:
