Supplemental Awards to Current Grantees in the CSAP Substance 
Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant Program for High Risk Populations: 
Module B: Female Adolescents

AGENCY: Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), DHHS.

ACTION: Availability of supplemental funds for currently funded 
grantees in CSAP's Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant 
Program for high risk populations: Module B: Female Adolescents.

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

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available 
approximately $600,000 in FY 1995 for up to 13 supplemental awards to 
existing grantees funded under its Substance Abuse Prevention 
Demonstration Grant Program for High Risk Populations Program: Module 
B: Female Adolescents (hereafter referred to as Female Adolescent 
demonstration grantees). Limiting the use of these supplemental funds 
to currently funded Female Adolescent demonstration grantees permits 
more efficient use of available funds by making use of existing grant 
infrastructures and intervening with active clients in ongoing Female 
Adolescent projects.
    This supplemental funding is designed to support the development of 
gender-specific training and media literacy activities and their 
integration into ongoing grant efforts to prevent alcohol, tobacco and 
other drug (ATOD) use among high risk female adolescent clients.
    Female Adolescent grantees are encouraged to apply for these funds. 
Funds will support initiatives that expand upon existing efforts or add 
new or different program activities selected from these two areas. 
Specifically, the supplemental funds are available to supplement up to 
13 Female Adolescent grants to design, implement, and evaluate 
effective, gender-specific training and media literacy activities that 
will strengthen and enhance currently funded Female Adolescent ATOD 
prevention projects.
    All Female Adolescent demonstration grantees, funded as of 
September 30, 1994 and in year one of a five-year grant award, are 
invited to apply for supplemental funds. Awards will be limited to one 
year and can not exceed a total (direct plus indirect costs) of 
$50,000. The receipt date for applications is June 20, 1995.
    The application receipt, review, and award process will be handled 
in an expedited manner. Applications will be reviewed for merit by a 
panel of expert Federal reviewers and supplements will be awarded on 
the basis of merit and availability of funds no later than September 
30, 1995.
