Supplemental Awards to Demonstration Grant Program for the 
Prevention of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Among High Risk Youth 
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) 
Demonstration Grant Program for the Prevention of Alcohol and Other 
Drug Abuse Among High Risk Youth.

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

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available 
approximately $1 million in Fiscal Year 1994 for up to 20 supplemental 
awards to existing grantees in its Demonstration Grant Program for the 
Prevention of Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Abuse Among High Risk Youth 
(HRY). The supplemental funding is intended to assist these grantees to 
enhance and expand their AOD prevention goals to include outreach and 
appropriate risk reduction intervention activities for preventing HIV/
AIDS, and to evaluate these activities.
    Consistent with the House of Representatives Report 103-156, 
Committee on Appropriations, only currently funded HRY grantees are 
eligible to apply for supplemental funding. Further, CSAP agrees that 
the limited funds available can be used most effectively by building on 
the existing grant infrastructures and intervening with active clients.
    To apply for a supplemental award, a HRY grantee must have a 
minimum of 18 months 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 June 24, 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.

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