Project: Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery--Priority to Veterans 
Program Evaluation--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) has implemented the 
Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery Program (JDTR)--Priority to Veterans 
to support local implementation and State-wide expansion of trauma-
integrated jail diversion programs to reach individuals with post 
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma related disorders involved 
in the justice system. JDTR requires grantees to implement a State 
infrastructure program linked to a local pilot criminal justice 
diversion project. At the State level, the State Mental Health 
Authority (SMHA) will convene a State Advisory Committee that provides 
oversight of pilot projects' training, diversion, service delivery and 
local project evaluation, as well as design and implement plans to 
disseminate knowledge about effective pilot projects and to replicate 
them in other communities in the State.
    CMHS is requesting approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) to implement a data collection document, the Semi-Annual 
Progress Report (SAPR), to evaluate the implementation, expansion, and 
sustainability of jail diversion and trauma informed services developed 
under the JDTR program.
    The current proposal requests implementing the Semi-Annual Progress 
Report (SARP) to collect information in the following areas:
    a. Document the State and pilot level goals for the project;
    b. Describe the project environment, including changes that have 
helped or hindered implementation;
    c. Estimate project spending on State, pilot, and evaluation 
activities;
    d. Describe activities and progress on State level infrastructure 
change components, including barriers to progress;
    e. Report on pilot project progress, including activities related 
to the pilot program, changes to program plans, and barriers to 
implementation;
    f. Describe any project accomplishments, including documenting 
numbers and types of trainings, as well as any policy changes; and
    g. Describe and update progress in meeting cross-site client 
evaluation requirements.
    This information would be collected twice a year: in March and 
September. Six grantees were awarded 5-year grants in FY 2008 and six 
more 5-year grants were funded in FY2009. The six FY 2008 grantees 
piloted the data collection instrument in March of FY 2009. The six 
additional grantees awarded on September 30, 2009 would commence data 
collection in March of FY 2010. The burden estimate for completing the 
SAPR is as follows:
