Competitive Supplements for Integrated Children and Family 
Services

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability of supplemental funds for certain 
programs of the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Center for 
Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) and Center for Substance Abuse 
Treatment (CSAT).

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

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that SAMHSA is making available 
approximately $2-3 million in Fiscal Year 1995 for up to 10 
supplemental awards to existing grantees who have a minimum of 3 years 
of Federal grant support remaining as of September 1995, as reflected 
on the current Notice of Grant Award. Funds are being provided to 
support 3 year supplemental projects designed to implement and evaluate 
the effectiveness of integrated service delivery approaches for 
families with children from birth to 7 years of age, who are affected 
by alcohol, drug abuse and/or mental health disorders or who are at 
risk for such disorders.
    Eligibility is limited to grantees with 3 years remaining in the 
following SAMHSA programs in order to be able to evaluate the effects 
of funding such integrated approaches in a known, well-defined project 
where the various strengths and other grantee characteristics have 
already been generally identified. Thus, most of the variables 
affecting performance are known so that the direct effects of the 
supplemental funding can be better measured than would be possible in 
an untested environment. This control in supplementing a variety of 
different programs allows the maximum insight to be obtained with the 
limited resources available. The grantees will need to have 3 years 
remaining since we do not anticipate having measurable results to 
evaluate in a shorter period.
