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) 2011 Strategic Prevention Framework State Prevention Enhancement grants (Short Title: SPE grants). These awards are designed to strengthen and extend SAMHSA's national implementation of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), so as to bring the SPF to scale and support communities of high need nationwide (see Part I, Section 2.2 for more details). The SPF process is an integral part of SAMHSA's mission to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America's communities. (�Communities,� in the broadest sense, should include community coalitions, which play a vital role in creating successful State and Tribal prevention systems.) With a broad, national scope, the SPE Program is designed to support States, Territories and Tribes (hereinafter referred to as States and Tribes) in enhancing their infrastructures to reduce the impact of substance abuse. Through stronger, more strategically aligned substance abuse infrastructures, SPE States and Tribes will be better positioned to apply the SPF process to implement data-driven, evidence-based prevention programs, policies and practices in their communities. These 1-year SPE cooperative agreements are intended to support States, Territories and Tribal entities in strengthening and enhancing their current prevention infrastructure to support more strategic, comprehensive systems of community-oriented care. SPE funding will foster more responsive, interactive State and Tribal systems that can better address and adjust to the complexities of evolving health care initiatives and their fiscal implications for communities of high need. The SPE Program calls upon Single State Agency Directors and Tribal Leaders to capitalize on their State or Tribe's ability to implement the SPF process, to assess the current state of their prevention infrastructure, identify gaps and develop a long-term, data-driven strategic plan to restructure, enhance and further strengthen their State and Tribal system to better meet the emerging needs of populations throughout their communities. It provides the foundation for assuring that behavioral health plays an essential role in responding to the Nation's rapidly evolving health care delivery system. It is rooted in the belief that SAMHSA's State and Tribal grantees have a pivotal, strategic role to play at this time in helping to shape the direction and implementation of their State-wide systems in support of SAMHSA's overall prevention mission. Key SPE grant requirements include the development and submission to SAMHSA/CSAP of two State/Tribal plans: 1) a Capacity Building/Infrastructure Enhancement Plan at the end of the 3rd month of the grant and 2) a comprehensive, 5-year Strategic Prevention Plan at the end of the 11th month of the grant. The Strategic Prevention Plan must provide a description of progress and accomplishments made to date, outline the work that remains to be done, and provide an action plan for the future, with action steps, estimated timelines, available resources and responsible parties. SPE grants are authorized under Section 516 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. This RFA addresses SAMHSA's Strategic Initiative #1: Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness. SAMHSA strongly encourages all grantees to provide a smoke-free workplace and to promote abstinence from all tobacco products (except in regard to accepted Tribal traditions and practices.) Addressing SAMHSA's Goals for Prevention Grantees must ensure that their SPE projects address and are closely aligned with the four goals listed in SAMHSA Initiative #1: Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness; and with two other SPE-specific goals ( workforce development and policy development) as listed below.
