1. Program Background and Objectives

The Center for Substance Abuse

Prevention (CSAP) in the Substance

Abuse and Mental Health Services

Administration (SAMHSA) was

legislatively authorized to conduct a full

range of activities directed toward

reducing the incidence and prevalence

of alcohol, tobacco and other drug

(ATOD) use/abuse. The etiology of

ATOD use/abuse is complex and

multifaceted. From the research on

correlates of ATOD use/abuse, it has

become clear that the factors that place

individuals at risk for ATOD use/abuse

may be found at the individual, family,

school, peer group, workplace,

neighborhood/community, and society

levels. The ubiquitous nature of these

risk factors calls for a multi-level, allpervasive prevention response.

CSAP’s substance abuse prevention

program is designed to develop such a

multi-level, all pervasive prevention

response. Thus, CSAP supports

demonstration grants, conference grants,

training grants, and cooperative

agreements in an effort to generate new

knowledge and share and disseminate

what is known about effective strategies

for preventing ATOD use/abuse. CSAP’s

approach is comprehensive and

multifaceted whether it is from the

perspective of the individual, the

community, training of health

providers, or in designing its

communication messages for targeted

populations. Recognizing that substance

abuse has a pervasive impact on

education, violence, delinquency, teenage pregnancy, health care, school

dropouts, mental health, homelessness,

and other social problems, CSAP’s

orientation is to foster linkages with the

human service providers in these

related fields and to ask its grantees to

explore mechanisms for linking with

managed care providers in their area.

2. Special Concerns

SAMHSA’s CSAP will address a

number of special concerns in FY 1995.

Emphasis is placed on comprehensive

approaches to prevention and

coordination with other programs and

organizations in the public and private

sectors that attend to the human service

needs of populations at high risk for

substance use/abuse. Emphasis is also

placed on quality evaluation design and

implementation so as to add to

knowledge of what strategies are

effective and ineffective in preventing

substance use/abuse. For individualfocused (in contrast to community

focused) approaches, emphasis is placed

on using a well-conceptualized risk

factor approach in designing and

evaluating prevention strategies. Under

two activities, special consideration will

be given to applicants serving

communities characterized by high

levels of poverty and other forms of

socio-economic distress and who are

located in formally designated

Empowerment Zones or Enterprise

Communities.

Populations that have been targeted

for grants or cooperative agreements

include high risk youth, adolescent

females and Native Americans. Of

particular interest is the effectiveness of

strategies designed to deal with the

impact of victimization and physical

and sexual abuse that places females at

particular high risk for self-destructive

disorders such as substance abuse,

eating disorders, and suicide. With

respect to the Native American

population, a major interest is the

development of strategies to reach and

reduce the high rate of babies with Fetal

Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or Fetal

Alcohol Effects (FAE) born to Native

American women.

From the perspective of community

strategies, a special area of concern
7982 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 28 / Friday, February 10, 1995 / Notices

involves ascertaining the efficiency and

effectiveness of developing coalitions of

community partnerships to eliminate

duplication of services, fill gaps in

services, and generally improve the

comprehensiveness and cost efficiency

of community partnerships. Of

additional interest is how such

coalitions and partnerships can relate to

managed care organizations.

3. Criteria for Review and Funding

Competing applications requesting

funding under the specific project

activities in Section 4 will be reviewed

for technical merit in accordance with

established PHS/SAMHSA peer review

procedures.

Applications that are accepted for

review will be assigned to an Initial

Review Group (IRG) composed

primarily of non-Federal experts.

Applications will be recommended

for approval or disapproval on the basis

of technical merit. Applications

recommended for approval will be

assigned scores according to the level of

merit.

Notification of the IRG’s

recommendation will be sent to the

applicant upon completion of the initial

review. In addition, the IRG

recommendations on technical merit of

applications over $50,000 will undergo

a second level of review by the CSAP

National Advisory Council whose

review may be based on policy

considerations as well as technical

merit. Only applications recommended

for approval by the Council may be

considered for funding by CSAP.

3.1 General Review Criteria

As published in the Federal Register

on July 2, 1993 (Vol. 58, No. 126, page

35962), SAMHSA’s ‘‘Peer Review and

Advisory Council Review of Grant and

Cooperative Agreement Applications

and Contract Proposals,’’ peer review

groups will take into account, among

other factors as may be specified in the

application guidance materials, the

following general criteria:

• Potential significance of the

proposed project;

• Appropriateness of the applicant’s

proposed objectives to the goals of the

specific program;

• Adequacy and appropriateness of

the proposed approach and activities;

• Adequacy of available resources,

such as facilities and equipment;

• Qualifications and experience of the

applicant organization, the project

director, and other key personnel; and

• Reasonableness of the proposed

budget.

3.2 Funding Criteria for Approved

Applications

Applications recommended for

approval by the peer review group and

the appropriate Advisory Council (if

applicable) will be considered for

funding on the basis of their overall

technical merit as determined through

the review process.

Other funding criteria will include;

• Availability of funds and

geographic distribution of grants

throughout the United States.

Additional funding criteria specific to

the programmatic activity may be

included in the application guidance

materials.

4. Special FY 1995 Substance Abuse

Prevention Activities

Project activities are grouped in this

notice under two sections: Grants and

Cooperative Agreements.

4.1 Grants

Four major activities for CSAP grant

programs are discussed below.

4.1.1 Knowledge Dissemination

Conference Grants

◆ Application Deadlines: May 10

and September 10, 1995.

◆ Purpose: To provide support for

conferences relating to the prevention of

alcohol, tobacco and other drug use/

abuse and related problems such as

violence, HIV/AIDS among multiple

high risk populations (including gay/

lesbian/bisexual youth, persons with

disabilities, etc.) for the purpose of

increasing awareness, conveying

knowledge, improving prevention

activities in communities and the

workplace, and exchanging and

disseminating new research findings

and effective prevention strategies to the

field, communities and the general

public.

◆ Priorities: Conference planners are

encouraged to be creative in linking

with existing regional efforts, relevant

grassroots organizations and agencies,

CSAP Community Partnerships and

High Risk Youth grantees in the region,

the Regional Alcohol and Drug

Awareness Resource Network (RADAR)

liaisons, and representation from the

target population on which the

conference is focused.

◆ Eligible Applicants: Public and

private nonprofit and for-profit

organizations including existing CSAP

grantees for the purpose of

disseminating the results of their

projects.

◆ Grants/Amounts: Approximately

20 awards during FY 1995. Individual

awards may not exceed $50,000 in

direct costs. Indirect costs are not

allowable under this announcement.

◆ Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance Number: 93.174.

◆ Program Contact: Luisa del

Carmen Pollard, Division of Public

Education and Dissemination, Center for

Substance Abuse Prevention, Rockwall

Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, (301)

443–0377.

4.1.2 Substance Abuse Prevention

Demonstration Grants for High Risk

Populations

The High-Risk Youth Demonstration

Grants are divided into the following 3

modules:

Module A: High-Risk Youth

Module B: Adolescent Females

Module D: Replications

A description of each module follows.

[Note: Module C, Alcohol and other Drug

Related Violence, is not included because

this program did not receive funds for new

starts in FY 1995.]

♦ Application Deadline: May 10,

1995.

♦ Purpose:

Module A: High-Risk Youth. To

ascertain the effectiveness of

multifaceted interventions that address

multiple factors in at least three of six

important life areas or ‘‘domains’’

(individual, family, school, peer group,

neighborhood/community and society)

that place youth at risk for or protect

them from using alcohol, tobacco, and

other drugs (ATOD).

Module B: Adolescent Females. To

ascertain the effectiveness of

multifaceted interventions that address

factors more specific to adolescent

females ages 10–21 such as sexual

abuse, victimization, post traumatic

stress syndrome, and depression that

places them at risk for ATOD use/abuse

as well as other self-destructive

behaviors such as eating disorders,

suicide, and prostitution.

Module D. Replications. To ascertain

whether a program of prevention

strategies that has been shown to be

promising in modifying ATOD use on a

given population in one location can be

replicated by the original program

developer (self-replication) or another

investigator, using a similar population

in another location. Please note that

Module D is designed as a cooperative

agreement.

♦ Priorities.

In making award decisions, CSAP will

consider applications recommended for

approval by the IRG and the CSAP

National Advisory Council. Other award

considerations will include:

Prevention projects that are directed

at children of substance abusers,
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 28 / Friday, February 10, 1995 / Notices 7983

latchkey children, children at risk of

abuse or neglect, preschool children

eligible for services under the Head

Start Act, children at risk of dropping

out of school, children at risk of

becoming adolescent parents, and

children who do not attend school and

who are at risk of being unemployed.

Applicants from communities

characterized by high levels of poverty

and other forms of socio-economic

distress; who are engaged in a

community strategic planning process

as evidenced by the preparation or

submission of an Empowerment Zone/

Enterprise Community application to

the U.S. Department of Housing and

Urban Development and the U.S.

Department of Agriculture; or who

provide services to communities that

have been designated as Empowerment

Zones or Enterprise Communities.

Applications From Community Based

Organizations

♦ Eligible Applicants.

Modules A and B: Public and private

non-profit organizations e.g., units of

State or local governments, communitybased organizations, universities,

hospitals, colleges, and Indian Tribes/

Tribal organizations.

Module D: In order for CSAP to fully

inform the public on what type of

prevention programs work among high

risk youth, it must assess the program’s

replicability. Five projects were selected

for replication because, on the basis of

an initial evaluation, these projects

appear particularly promising for

preventing ATOD use among high risk

youth. Self-replication is limited to only

those 5 CSAP projects selected for

replication. This is to permit a

comparison of the project as

implemented by the original and new

project leadership in order to ascertain

whether the positive outcomes are a

function of the prevention strategies

employed or the designers and

leadership of the project. Replication of

any one of these 5 programs by other

investigators is open to the same

categories of eligible applicants

identified above for Modules A and B.

♦ Grants/Amounts.

Approximately $19.6 million will be

available to support approximately 60

awards in FY 1995 under this program

as follows:

Module A. High Risk Youth.

Approximately 36 awards averaging

about $300,000 for a total cost of about

$11.478 million

Module B. Adolescent Females.

Approximately 13 grants averaging

about $300,000 for a total cost of about

$4.079 million.

Module D. Replications. Three (3)

awards for self-replication of any one of

the CSAP designated replication

models, averaging about $330,000, for a

total cost of about $1 million; Nine (9)

awards for the replication of any one of

the CSAP designated replication models

by another investigator, averaging about

$330,000, for a total cost of $3 million.

♦ Purpose: To ascertain the

feasibility and effectiveness of

establishing and developing coalitions

of multiple community partnerships

that would work effectively to develop,

implement, and coordinate programs

directed toward: reducing the incidence

and prevalence of ATOD use and abuse

in their communities as well as the

problems accompanying such behavior

such as violence, adolescent pregnancy,

infants born with FAS/FAE, drug

related mortality and morbidity, HIV/

AIDs, drug related injuries in the

workplace, substance abuse related

crime, mental illness, and in general,

improve the health and safety of the

communities under the aegis of the

coalition.

♦ Priorities: In making award

decisions, CSAP will consider

applications recommended for approval

by the IRG and the CSAP National

Advisory Council. Other award

considerations will include: applicants

from communities characterized by high

levels of poverty and other forms of

socio-economic distress; who are

engaged in a community strategic

planning process as evidenced by the

preparation or submission of an

Empowerment Zone/Enterprise

Community application to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban

Development and the U.S. Department

of Agriculture; or who provide services

to communities that have been

designated as Empowerment Zones or

Enterprise Communities.

♦ Eligible Applicants: Public

agencies such as local, State and Tribal

Governments; community-based or

state-wide private non-profit

organizations/agencies. In either case,

the applicant must be part of an existing

community partnership and must be

designated to act on behalf of the larger

evolving coalition of multiple

partnerships proposed in the grant

application.

♦ Grants/Amounts: Approximately

$33 million will be available to support

approximately 100–125 awards. CSAP

service providers who are not

transmitting their applications through

the State must submit a PHSIS to the

head(s) of the appropriate State and

local health agencies in the area(s) to be

receipt date for applications. This

PHSIS consists of the following

information:

a. A copy of the face page of the

not to exceed one page, which provides:

(1) A description of the population to

(3) A description of the coordination

planned with the appropriate State or

local health agencies.

State and local governments and

Reporting Requirements.

6. PHS Non-use of Tobacco Policy

Statement

The PHS strongly encourages all grant

and cooperative agreement recipients to

provide a smoke-free workplace and

promote the non-use of all tobacco

products. This is consistent with the

PHS mission to protect and advance the

physical and mental health of the

American people.

Specific application guidance

materials may include more detailed

guidance as to how the Center will

implement SAMHSA’s policy on

promoting the non-use of tobacco.

7. Executive Order 12372

Applications submitted in response to

most, if not all, of the FY 1995 activities

listed above are subject to the

intergovernmental review requirements

of Executive Order 12372, as

implemented through DHHS regulations

at 45 CFR Part 100. E.O. 12372 sets up

a system for State and local government

review of applications for Federal

financial assistance. Applicants (other

than Federally recognized Indian tribal

governments) should contact the State’s

Single Point of Contact (SPOC) as early

as possible to alert them to the

prospective application(s) and to receive

any necessary instructions on the State’s

review process. For proposed projects

serving more than one State, the

applicant is advised to contact the SPOC

of each affected State. A current listing

of SPOCs is included in the application

guidance materials. The SPOC should

send any State review process

recommendations directly to:

Office of Review, Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services

Administration, Rockwall II Building,

suite 630, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Rockville, Maryland 20857

The due date for State review process

recommendations is no later than 60

days after the specified deadline date for

the receipt of applications. The CSAP

does not guarantee to accommodate or

explain SPOC comments that are

received after the 60-day cut-off.

Application guidance materials will

specify if a particular FY 1995 activity

described above is not subject to the

provisions of Executive Order 12372.

Dated: February 7, 1995.

Richard Kopanda,

Acting Executive Officer, SAMHSA.
