    Purpose: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2002 funds for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement the National Community Antidrug Coalition Institute. The goal of the National Community Antidrug Coalition Institute is to develop and build the capacity of community coalitions to successfully reduce substance abuse. Public Law 107-82, section (4) (c) authorizes the Institute to use approaches to address this goal:

    (1) Provide education, training, and technical assistance for coalition leaders and community teams, with emphasis on the development of coalitions serving economically disadvantaged areas;

    (2) Develop and disseminate evaluation tools, mechanisms, and measures to better assess and document coalition performance measures and outcomes; and

    (3) Bridge the gap between research and practice by translating knowledge from research into practical information.

    Eligibility: Any national nonprofit organization that represents, provides technical assistance and training to, and has special expertise and broad, national-level experience in community antidrug coalitions under the Drug-Free Communities Support Program. (See Public Law 107-82, section 4(b), which cites section 1032 of the National Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1532) which also may be cited as the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997.)

    Availability of Funds: In FY 2002, approximately $2,000,000 will be available for the total costs (direct and indirect) for one awards. Estimated subsequent annual awards are anticipated to be $2 million in FY 2003; $1 million in FY 2004; $1 million in FY 2005; $750,000 in FY 2006, and $750,000 in FY 2007. Awards may be requested for up to 6 years. Annual continuation of the award depends on the availability of funds and progress achieved.

    Period of Support: An award may be requested for a project period of up to 6 years.

    Criteria for Review and Funding: General Review Criteria: Competing applications requesting funding under this activity will be reviewed for technical merit in accordance with established PHS/SAMHSA peer review procedures. Review criteria that will be used by the peer review groups are specified in the application guidance material.

    Award Criteria for Scored Applications: Applications will be considered for funding on the basis of their overall technical merit as determined through the peer review group and the appropriate National Advisory Council review process. Availability of funds will also be an award criteria. Additional award criteria specific to the programmatic activity may be included in the application guidance materials.

    Public Health System Reporting Requirements: The Public Health System Impact Statement (PHSIS) is intended to keep State and local health officials apprised of proposed health services grant and cooperative agreement applications submitted by community-based nongovernmental organizations within their jurisdictions.

    Community-based nongovernmental 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 affected not later than the pertinent receipt date for applications. This PHSIS consists of the following information:

    a. A copy of the face page of the application (Standard form 424).

    b. A summary of the project (PHSIS), not to exceed one page, which provides:

    (1) A description of the population to be served.

    (2) A summary of the services to be provided.

    (3) A description of the coordination planned with the appropriate State or local health agencies.

    State and local governments and Indian Tribal Authority applicants are not subject to the Public Health System Reporting Requirements. Application guidance materials will specify if a particular FY 2002 activity is subject to the Public Health System Reporting Requirements.

    PHS Non-use of Tobacco Policy Statement: The PHS strongly encourages all grant and contract recipients to provide a smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of all tobacco products. In addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits smoking in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of a facility) in which regular or routine education, library, day care, health care, or early childhood development services are provided to children. This is consistent with the PHS mission to protect and advance the physical and mental health of the American people.

    Executive Order 12372: Applications submitted in response to the FY 2002 activity 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: Division of Extramural Activities, Policy, and Review, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Parklawn Building, Room 17-89, 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. SAMHSA does not guarantee to accommodate or explain SPOC comments that are received after the 60-day cut-off.
