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 (CSAP), Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), HHS.
Action: Availability of Supplemental Funds for Six Currently Funded
Grantees in the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's Community
Partnership Demonstration Grant Program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available
approximately $300,000 in Fiscal Year 1994 for six supplemental awards
to existing grantees in its Community Partnership Program (CPP). The
supplemental funding is intended to enable these grantees to assume the
lead role for substance abuse prevention services and collaborate with
six Department of Justice (DOJ) funded Weed and Seed projects selected
as sites for a National Performance Review (NPR) Laboratory in support
of anti-crime and social service delivery strategies. A criterion for
selection of the NPR sites is the existence of a CSAP Community
Partnership grant in the community. The total number of NPR applicants
will therefore be limited to twelve cities where this criterion is met.
The six Partnership grants will be identified as soon as the DOJ
completes its reviews and determines the priority scores for selection
of the six NPR sites. Only these partnership grantees geographically
collocated with the NPR sites will then be eligible to apply for the
CSAP supplemental funding. The need for collocation requires this
noncompetitive selection by CSAP, to support the competitively selected
NPR sites.
This funding will implement HHS' commitment to a Memorandum of
Understanding among the U.S. Departments of Justice, Housing and Urban
Development, Labor, Agriculture, and Health and Human Services. The
Department Heads have expressed support for the Administration's
principle that the Federal Government should use its resources in
concert to respond more effectively to community needs.
The NPR lab will focus on enhancing Federal support for
comprehensive community strategies that utilize Federal, State and
local public and private resources. It is designed to: (1) identify
obstacles and possible solutions which communities encounter in
utilizing Federal resources when designing and implementing
neighborhood-based programs. This will involve mapping the flow of
Federal resources into the community; (2) assist neighborhoods to
refine and enhance their anti-crime and social service delivery
strategies, and evaluate their programs; and (3) implement flexible
funding approaches which involve the leveraging of Federal, State,
local public and private resources in support of a comprehensive
strategy.
In order to receive a supplemental award, a 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 cannot
exceed $50,000 in direct costs plus allowable indirect costs. The
application receipt and review and the award process will be handled in
an expedited manner. Those applications judged by an objective review
panel to have sufficient technical merit to warrant funding will
receive awards no later than September 30, 1994.

516 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.

Community Partnership Demonstration Grant Program is 93.194.
