DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Funding Opportunity

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

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a single source grant to the 
Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
$459,505 (total costs) for up to five years to CADCA for the National 
Substance Abuse Leadership Forum Cooperative Agreement. Under this 
initiative, CADCA will provide training and technical assistance to a 
large number of community leaders across the country who are committed 
to behavioral health (i.e., prevention, recovery, resilience, and 
wellness); and address current issues related to the prevention and 
treatment of substance abuse, and/or mental disorders across the 
nation.
    Conference and training activities supported through this 
cooperative agreement include SAMHSA's Prevention Day, the Community 
Anti-Drug Coalitions of America's (CADCA) National Leadership Forum, 
and CADCA's Mid-Year Training Institute. These conferences serve as a 
portal for knowledge dissemination and state-of-the-art information 
transfer; and assist community leaders in developing effective local 
programs, practices, and policies that support national substance abuse 
prevention goals, outcomes and efforts, such as National Alcohol and

Drug Addiction Recovery Month, National Substance Abuse Prevention 
Month, and underage drinking prevention. The CADCA Conference 
initiative directly supports SAMHSA's mission to reduce the impact of 
substance abuse and mental illness on America's communities.
    This is not a formal request for applications. Assistance will be 
provided only to CADCA based on the receipt of a satisfactory 
application that is approved by an independent review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SP-14-001.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
    Authority: Section 516 of the Public Health Services Act, as 
amended. Funds for a portion of this initiative are also authorized 
under Sections 509, 516 and 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.
    Justification: Eligibility for this award is limited to CADCA. The 
purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide training and 
technical assistance for thousands of members of community coalitions 
dedicated to preventing substance abuse through a national leadership 
conference. CADCA is the only national organization that has special 
expertise and unique broad, national-level experience in working with 
community anti-drug coalitions. For more than 18 years, coalitions and 
coalition leadership have turned to CADCA to obtain the assistance they 
need to implement, operate, and sustain effective local community anti-
drug strategies. The CADCA will take advantage of the resources of 
multiple agencies located throughout the federal, state and local 
governments, philanthropies, and universities to bring the best 
available knowledge, information, and technology to local community 
anti-drug coalitions working to prevent and reduce drug use among the 
youth of America. CADCA is the only identified organization with the 
required experience and national reach to over 5,000 identified anti-
drug coalitions across the country. CADCA has long been recognized in 
communities as well as states throughout the nation as the national 
voice for the advocacy and technical support of anti-drug coalitions. 
As such, it is uniquely qualified and positioned to carry out the 
requirements of this announcement.
