SAMHSA Announces the Availability of up to $230 million for the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success

SAMHSA is accepting applications for Strategic Prevention Framework - Partnerships for Success grants totaling up to $230 million over five years. The purpose of this program is to address one of the nation’s top substance abuse prevention priorities: underage drinking among persons aged 9 to 20. States/tribes may also use grant funds to target up to two additional, data-driven substance abuse prevention priorities, such as the use of marijuana, cocaine, or methamphetamine, etc. by individuals ages 9 and above. The program is designed to ensure that prevention strategies and messages reach the populations most impacted by substance abuse. The program extends current established cross-agency and community-level partnerships by connecting substance abuse prevention programming to departments of social services and their community service providers.

SAMHSA expects to fund up to 34 grantees from up to $500,000 to $2.6 million per year for up to five years.
