About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2012 Targeted Capacity Expansion Program: Substance Abuse Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations at High-Risk for HIV/AIDS grants. The purpose of this program is to facilitate the development and expansion of culturally competent and effective community-based treatment systems for substance use and co-occurring substance use and mental disorders within racial and ethnic minority communities in States with the highest HIV prevalence rates (at or above 270 per 100,000). The expected outcomes for the program include reducing the impact of behavioral health problems, reducing HIV risk and incidence, and increasing access to treatment for individuals with co-existing behavioral Hepatitis conditions. This program will ensure that individuals who are at high risk for or have a substance use or co-occurring substance use and mental disorder and who are most at-risk for or are living with HIV/AIDS have access to and receive appropriate behavioral health services. Grant funds must be used to serve people diagnosed with a substance use disorder as their primary condition. This grant program is part of the Congressional Minority AIDS Initiative, which was developed to improve HIV-related health outcomes for racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS and to reduce HIV-related health disparities. The program also supports the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. Three key findings from National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Research Report indicate that the interactions of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS extend far beyond injection drug use. First, drug abuse impairs judgment and good decision making, leaving people more prone to engage in HIV risk behaviors, including risky sexual behavior and non-adherence to HIV treatment. Second, drug abuse adversely affects health and may exacerbate disease progression. Third, and most important, because of these linkages, we must recognize that drug abuse treatment is HIV prevention, https://www.drugabuse.gov/sites/default/files/ According to combined data from 2005 to 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) about one in six individuals with HIV/AIDS had used an illicit drug intravenously in their nearly two thirds had used an illicit drug but not intravenously (64.44 percent), and 18.96 percent had never used an illicit drug; and one in four of those living with HIV reported use of alcohol or drugs at a level that warranted treatment, http://www.samhsa.gov/data/2k10/HIV-AIDS/HIV- The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) clearly articulates the need for resources to be strategically concentrated in areas with high rates of HIV infection, and the need for targeting specific population subgroups at higher risk, such as young minority men who have sex with men. Key goals of the NHAS include: 1) reducing the number of people who become infected with HIV, 2) increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV, and 3) reducing HIV-related health disparities (p. vii, National HIV AIDS Strategy, Office of National AIDS Policy, the White , 2010). In support of the NHAS, the goals of the Minority AIDS Initiative and SAMHSA's mission to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America's communities, applicants eligible to apply for this grant opportunity are limited to domestic public and private nonprofit, community-based organizations (CBOs) and Federally recognized Tribes and tribal organizations, in States and Territories with HIV prevalence rates of 270/100,000 or higher.1 The following 22 States and Territories meet this criterion: District of Columbia, New York, Virgin Alabama. Note: Federally recognized Tribes may be partially or entirely located in one of the 22 identified States and Territories.
