Community Treatment Program for the Development of New and Useful
Knowledge
The following changes to the appended PA 99-050 modify/clarify the
Purpose and Rationale, Eligibility, Availability of Funds, Period of
Support, and Program Description and Project Requirements sections. It
is important to note that potential applicants for the May 10, 2000 and

clarifications into consideration before preparing and/or submitting an
application.
Purpose and Rationale
(Replace the existing second sentence of the third paragraph
with the following.)
Through this Program Announcement (PA), CSAT will support two
types of grants: (1) Full studies of treatment programs and
services, and (2) exploratory/pilot studies.
Note: CSAT will no longer support enhancement/expansion grants
under this PA; therefore, all references to enhancement/expansion
grants throughout the PA should be ignored.
Eligibility
(The second paragraph of the Eligibility section has been
deleted.)
[[Page 69545]]
Note: The enhancement/expansion grant category will not be
funded.
Availability of Funds
(Replace the existing Availability of Funds section with the
following.)
It is estimated that $2.5 million will be available to support
awards under this PA in FY 2000. The amount of an award is expected
to range as follows (amounts include direct and indirect costs):
Full studies: up to $500,000;
Exploratory/Pilot studies: up to $250,000;
Funds will be divided between the two grant categories. The
number of applications funded in each category will depend on the
quality of applications as determined by the peer review process.
Funds may be used to conduct all aspects of data collection and
evaluation. Limited funds are available to support substance abuse
treatment intervention services and substance abuse related services
necessary for successful conduct of the proposed study. Applicants
are strongly encouraged to verify future receipt dates and
availability and terms of funding before preparing and submitting
applications (see Application Receipt and Review Schedule).
Period of Support
(Replace the existing Period of Support section with the
following.)
Support for full studies and for exploratory/pilot studies may
