DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Supplemental Awards to Current Community Partnership
Demonstration Program Grantees
AGENCY: Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), HHS.
ACTION: Availability of Supplemental Funds for Currently Funded
Grantees in the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's (CSAP)
Community Partnership Demonstration Grant Program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available
approximately $600,000 in Fiscal Year 1994 for approximately 12
supplemental awards to existing grantees in its Community Partnership
Program (CPP). The supplemental funding is intended to permit
currently-funded CPP grantees to build an ongoing communication-
centered activity on their existing infrastructure to further the
accomplishment of their project's alcohol, tobacco, and other drug
prevention goals.
Only currently funded CPP grantees are eligible to apply for
supplemental funding. Eligibility is restricted because the limited
funds available can be used most effectively to demonstrate
communications-centered approaches by creating optimal conditions for
success in the existing partnerships, where the necessary
infrastructure and organizational capacity to develop such approaches
are already in place. The existing Community Partnerships have
exhibited interest in and the need for communications components to
supplement their existing array of strategies, and many have
participated in relevant training offered by CSAP and other
organizations. This restriction thus will allow more thorough
demonstrations of the effects of communication-centered approaches by
linking them to existing partnerships, their needs assessments and
evaluation measures, rather than starting such projects from the
beginning.
To apply for a supplemental award, a CPP grantee must have a
minimum of one full project year remaining in the current grant as of
September 30, 1994. Awards will be limited to one year and can not
exceed a total of $50,000 in direct and indirect costs. The receipt
date for applications is April 29, 1994. 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, 1994.

(Public Education Branch, Division of Public Education and
Dissemination), CSAP, Rockwall II, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD

Authority: Awards will be made under the authority of sections
501(d)(5) and 515(b)(3) and (9) of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the
CPP is 93.194.
