About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (SAMHSA/CSAP) is accepting applications for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 to fund Partnerships for Success: State and Community Prevention Performance Grant (short title: Partnerships for Success). This grant program is designed to provide eligible States and Territories (collectively referred to as “States”) with grant funds to achieve a quantifiable decline in State-wide substance abuse rates, incorporating a strong incentive to grantees that have met or exceeded their prevention performance targets by the end of Year 3. Grant awards will be made to applicants with the established infrastructure and demonstrated capacity to reduce substance abuse problems and achieve specific program outcomes, as outlined in the RFA. SAMHSA/CSAP intends to offer a performance incentive of $500,000 (in the form of a Program Expansion Supplement). This incentive is designed to reward Partnerships for Success grantees that have met or exceeded their performance targets by the end of Year 3.The Partnerships for Success program is authorized under section 516 of the Public Health Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 Substance Abuse.Partnerships for Success GoalsThe purpose of this program is to improve the health and well being of our nation’s communities by providing States and Territories (collectively referred to as “States”) with grant funds and a special incentive to decrease State-wide substance abuse rates by meeting or exceeding performance targets.The overall goals of Partnerships for Success are as follows: * Reduce substance abuse-related problems; * Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking; * Strengthen capacity and infrastructure at the State- and community-levels in support of prevention; and * Leverage, redirect and realign State-wide funding streams for prevention.To address the Partnerships for Success goals stated above, State applicants will be required to set, in conjunction with SAMHSA/CSAP, State-wide three-year performance targets for substance abuse and will continue to reduce rates after the performance targets are reached. Applicants must also identify and select subrecipient communities that can most effectively collaborate with the State to achieve an overall reduction in State-wide substance abuse rates through the implementation of evidence-based programs, policies and practices. SAMHSA/CSAP intends to offer a key performance incentive (in the form of a Program Expansion Supplement) during Year 4 of the Partnerships for Success grant period to reward States that have met or exceeded their performance targets.The Importance of the Public Health ModelIn order for grantees to be successful in meeting or exceeding their prevention performance targets, CSAP strongly recommends the use of a public health model to address substance abuse problems. The public health approach to reducing substance use and related consequences focuses on preventing health problems and promoting healthy living for whole populations of people ( people who share a common characteristic such as residence in a common geographic region ( county), age ( children) or experience ( pregnant women). Traditionally, substance abuse prevention has been more individual- or person-centered, reflecting its close association with substance abuse treatment. Prevention demonstrated that prevention approaches that broadly target population level change are effective in producing measurable improvements in harmful consumption patterns and negative consequences in groups as a whole.Public health as a discipline is concerned with the overall health of a community based on population health analysis. A population of study can be as small as a handful of people or as large as all the inhabitants of several continents.
