About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2010 Capacity Building for Substance Abuse (SA) and HIV Prevention Services for At-Risk Racial/Ethnic Minority Young Adults (Short Title: Capacity Building Initiative) grants. The Capacity Building Initiative (CBI) is one of CSAP’s Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) programs. The purpose of the MAI is to provide substance abuse and HIV prevention services to at-risk minority populations in communities disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the CBI program is to support an array of activities to assist grantees in building a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining quality and accessible state of the science substance abuse and HIV prevention services. Specifically, the program aims to engage colleges, universities and community-level domestic public and private non-profit entities to prevent and reduce the onset of SA and transmission of HIV/AIDS among at-risk racial/ethnic minority young adults, ages 18-24.SAMHSA’s mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America’s communities. Over the years, SAMHSA - in collaboration with other Federal organizations, and individuals including consumers and the recovery community - has demonstrated that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified 10 Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency’s work on people and emerging opportunities. SAMHSA expects CBI grantees to address the following Strategic Initiative: Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness. SAMHSA’s initiative will prepare and enable communities to learn programs to better understand and recognize the behaviors that connect substance abuse and mental illness in overall health and wellness.[NOTE: Complete references for statements followed by numerals in footnote format throughout this document can be found in Appendix K of this RFA.]HIV remains a major health concern that disproportionately affects young, minority populations. In 2007, there were 571,378 people living with HIV/AIDS in the However, people of color accounted for 70% of all HIV cases in the that year. African Americans make up the largest population affected by HIV, with 21,509 cases of the 42,318 HIV cases reported in 2007. African Americans comprise about 13% of the population, yet they account for 50% of new HIV infection diagnoses (1).In addition, in 2007, there were 1,703 HIV infections reported among 15-19 years olds, and 4,907 infections reported among 20-24 year olds. Among persons 13-24 years old, African Americans account for 55% of all HIV infections. Among women ages 13-24, African American and Hispanic females account for over 75% of reported HIV infections. Together, they represent only 26% of the women in this age group (1). One factor contributing to these disproportionate numbers is health care disparities for youth of color, especially reduced access to health services. Approximately 20% of African Americans are uninsured compared to 11% of whites (2). Among all Hispanics, about 33% lack health insurance (the highest rate of any group). People who lack adequate health care are less likely to be tested for HIV likely to know their HIV status. People who do not know they are HIV-positive may fail to take appropriate precautions against spreading the disease.College students, who comprise of one-third of the 18-24 year old population in the United States, are particularly at risk. According to data from SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health, college students in America are more likely to use alcohol in the past month, binge drink, and drink more heavily than their peers not enrolled in school.
