Supplemental Awards to Current High Risk Youth Demonstration 
Program Grantees

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

ACTION: Availability of supplemental funds for currently funded 
grantees in the CSAP's Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant 
Program for High Risk Populations (specifically, Module A: High Risk 
Youth; Module B: Female Adolescents; and Module C: Alcohol and Other 
Drug (AOD)-Related Violence Among High Risk Youth grantees). Excluded 
are grantees under Module D: Replication of Model Programs for the 
Prevention of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) Uses Among High 
Risk Youth.

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

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available 
[[Page 19277]] approximately $1 million in Fiscal Year 1995 for up to 
20 supplemental awards to existing grantees in Modules A, B, and C of 
its Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant Program for High 
Risk Populations. The supplemental funding is intended to demonstrate 
the differential effectiveness of incorporating an HIV/AIDS Prevention 
curriculum into an ongoing substance abuse prevention program as 
compared to providing such a curriculum as a stand-alone activity. 
Youth at risk for ATOD use are also at risk for precocious and 
unprotected sexual behavior. Because there is so much overlap between 
the youth at risk for ATOD use and those at risk for HIV/AIDS, as a 
result of unprotected sexual behavior, it is logical to consider 
enhancing an ATOD prevention program with an HIV/AIDS prevention 
curriculum.
    Only currently funded grantees in Modules A, B, and C are eligible 
to apply for supplemental funding. Eligibility is limited to existing 
grantees because, within the one year time frame of this supplement, 
available funds can be used more efficiently by existing grantees with 
established infrastructures, a clientele under care and an evaluation 
staff and program in place. Module D grantees are excluded because this 
added project would interfere with their design to replicate a CSAP 
high risk youth model program.
    To apply for a supplemental award, a currently funded CSAP grantee 
in Module A, B, or C must have more than eighteen months remaining in 
their current grant as of October 1, 1995. Awards will be limited to 
one year and cannot exceed a total of $50,000 in direct and indirect 
costs. The receipt date for applications is May 29, 1995. The 
application receipt and review and the award process will be handled in 
an expedited manner. Applications will be reviewed for merit by a panel 
of expert Federal and non-Federal reviewers, and supplements will be 
awarded on the basis of merit and availability of funds no later than 
September 30, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Rose Kittrell, Acting Chief, High 
Risk Youth Branch, Division of Demonstrations for High Risk 
Populations, CSAP, Rockwall II, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857; 
telephone (301) 443-0353.

    Authority: Awards will be made under the authority of Section 
517 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the 
High Risk Youth program is 93.144.

    Dated: April 12, 1995.

Acting Executive Officer, SAMHSA.
