SAMHSA is accepting applications for up to $235 million in Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success State and Tribal Initiative grants

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is accepting applications for grants designed to address two of the nation’s top substance abuse prevention priorities: 1) underage drinking among persons aged 12 to 20, and 2) prescription drug misuse and abuse among persons aged 12 to 25.  At their discretion, grantees may also choose to target funds toward addressing an additional, data-driven priority (e.g., marijuana, heroin, etc.).  Grantees must use these grant funds to support selected communities of high need in addressing these priorities for their targeted populations. SAMHSA expects that up to 34 grantees could each receive annual grants ranging from $305,000 to over $2 million for up to five years.  Actual award amounts may vary, depending on the availability of funds. WHO CAN APPLY: States (including U.S. Territories, Pacific Jurisdictions and the District of Columbia) and tribal entities that have completed a Strategic Prevention Framework Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) and are currently not receiving funds through SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grants. HOW TO APPLY: You must go to both Grants.gov ( http://www.Grants.gov ) and the SAMHSA website (http://beta.samhsa.gov/grants/applying ) to download the required documents you will need to apply for this grant. Applicants must apply online through http://www.Grants.gov .  APPLICATION DUE DATE : May 14, 2014.  Applications must be received by the specified due date and time to be considered for review.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Applicants with questions about program issues should contact Tonia Gray at 240-276-2492 or tonia.gray@samhsa.hhs.gov; or Flo Dwek at 240-276- 2574 or flo.dwek@samhsa.hhs.gov.  Applicants with questions related to grants management and budget issues should contact Eileen Bermudez at (240)-276-1412 oreileen.bermudez@samhsa.hhs.gov.
