DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Funding Opportunity

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

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to the Health 
Service Center, Inc., Anniston, AL.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $300,000 (total costs) per year for up to four years to 
the Health Service Center, Inc., Anniston, AL. This is not a formal 
request for applications. Assistance will be provided only to the 
Health Service Center, Inc., Anniston, AL, based on the receipt of a 
satisfactory application that is approved by an independent review 
group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SP-11-005.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243

    Authority:  Section 516 of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.

    Justification: Only the Health Service Center, Inc., Anniston, AL, 
is eligible to apply. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) 
is seeking to award a single source grant to the Health Service Center, 
Inc., Anniston, AL, for the Capacity Building Initiative (CBI). CBI is 
one of CSAP's Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) programs. The purpose of 
the MAI is to provide substance abuse and HIV prevention services to 
at-risk minority populations in communities disproportionately affected 
by HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the CBI program is to support an array of 
activities to assist grantees in building a solid foundation for 
delivering and sustaining quality and accessible state of the science 
substance abuse and HIV prevention services. Specifically, the program 
aims to engage colleges, universities and community-level domestic 
public and private non-profit entities to prevent and reduce the onset 
of SA and transmission of HIV/AIDS among at-risk racial/ethnic minority 
young adults, ages 18-24.
    The Health Service Center, Inc., Anniston, AL, was funded under the 
SP-10-004 CBI Initiative in FY 2010. At that time, the Health Services 
Center, Inc. proposed a 5-year program in their grant application, but 
inadvertently requested one year of funding rather than the full 
program funding period of 5 years. It was clear from language in the 
original application (which specifically referred to individual years 
of the program, and numbers served throughout the project) that the 
grantee intended to apply for funding for the full five years. The 
purpose of this sole source award is to fund the 4 out years of the 5 
year cooperative agreement awarded under the initial announcement. 
SAMHSA will not accept an application from any other entity.
