DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Supplement Grant to 
the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence 
Prevention at Educational Development Corporation (EDC) of Newton, 
Massachusetts.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $250,000 for up to fifteen months to expand grant 
activities funded under the Technical Assistance Center for Mental 
Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention to implement a Back to 
School media campaign targeted at the Gulf Coast schools impacted by 
the Deepwater oil spill. This is not a formal request for applications. 
This award is contingent upon the availability of funding. Assistance 
will be provided only to the current grantee of the Technical 
Assistance Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence 
Prevention based on the receipt of a satisfactory application that is 
approved by an independent review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SM-10-020.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.

    Authority: Sections 501(d)(5), 501(d)(18), 520A, 231, of the 
Public Health Service (PHS) Act [42 U.S.C. 290aa; 42 U.S.C. 290bb-
32, 42 U.S.C. 238, respectively].

    Justification: Only an application from the current grantee, 
National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence 
Prevention at Educational Development Corporation (EDC), will be 
considered for funding under this announcement. Fifteen-months funding 
may become available to implement a Back to School Media Support for 
Gulf Coast States Impacted by the Deepwater Oil Spill grant. The 
current grantee will provide technical assistance and is in a unique 
position to address the needs of communities rapidly. This Center 
currently provides technical assistance and training to strengthen the 
capacity of active Safe Schools/Healthy Students grantees to sustain 
the use of evidence-based strategies for mental health promotion and 
school violence prevention. There is no other potential organization 
with the required access and expertise.
    Eligibility for this program supplement is restricted to the 
current grantee, National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth 
Violence Prevention at Educational Development Corporation (EDC). 
Eligibility is limited because the magnitude of the Deepwater Horizon 
oil spill and its impact on the residents of the Gulf Coast region have 
led to an urgent need for disaster behavioral health communications 
services targeting school aged children, youth and their families. This 
supplement will serve to maximize efficiencies created under the 
current services infrastructure. It would be inefficient and 
duplicative to fund additional technical assistance services for a Back 
to School Media Support for Gulf Coast States Impacted by the Deepwater 
Oil Spill grant through a second organization.
