The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2007 Targeted Capacity Expansion grants. The purpose of this program is to expand and or/enhance the community's ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to a targeted, well-documented substance abuse treatment capacity problem and/or improve the quality and intensity of services.
Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE) is one of SAMHSA' s services grant programs. SAMHSA' s services grants are designed to address gaps in substance abuse services and/or to increase the ability of States, localities, tribes, urban Indian centers and/or tribal organizations to help specific populations or geographic areas with serious, emerging substance abuse problems. For example, a community might seek a Targeted Capacity Expansion grant to add state-of-the-art treatment approaches or new services to address emerging trends or unmet needs (e.g., intensive case management, referral, and follow-up services to address related HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, and other primary health care needs of substance abusing clients). SAMHSA/CSAT intends to fund projects for treatment services in four categories in FY 2007:
1. Native American/Alaska Native and Asian American/Pacific Islander Populations: To meet the disproportionate substance abuse treatment needs of certain native communities, this category specifically identifies American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and Asian American/Pacific Islanders (AA/PI), including Native Hawaiians, as native populations to receive expanded and/or enhanced treatment services under this program.
2. E-therapy: This category provides funding for expanding and/or enhancing substance abuse treatment through the use of technology to reduce barriers of distance, disabilities, and social stigma and provides treatment opportunities to those who do not have access to, or are reluctant to access, substance abuse treatment services (See Appendix M - Glossary, in the RFA).
3. Grassroots Partnerships: This category supports applicants who propose to enhance/expand recovery-oriented systems of care involving small, grassroots organizations (see Appendix M - Glossary, in the RFA).
4. Other Populations or Emerging Substance Abuse Issues: This category allows applicants to propose a project for an unmet substance abuse treatment need in a specific target population (e.g., pregnant and post-partum women, HIV/AIDS, adolescents) or focus area (e.g., methamphetamine, alcohol, marijuana) in their community.
SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest.
TCE grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 (Substance Abuse).
Eligibility for Category 1 (AI/AN/AA/PI) is restricted to federally recognized tribes, state recognized tribes, urban Indian organizations, tribal organizations, and Asian American/Pacific Islander organizations, including Native Hawaiian organizations, in recognition of their responsibility for, and interest in, providing for the needs of their citizens, and because the success of the program will depend upon their authority and ability to broadly coordinate a variety of resources.
Eligible applicants for Category 2 (E-therapy), Category 3 (Grassroots Partnerships), and Category 4 (Other), are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. For example, State and local governments, federally recognized tribes, state recognized tribes, urban Indian organizations, tribal organizations, and Asian American/Pacific Islander (AA/PI) organizations, including Native Hawaiian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, and community- and faith-based organizations may apply. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for-profit agencies.
Funding is not designed to meet statewide treatment needs, but to meet the needs of individual communities in cities, towns, counties, and multi-county partnerships. Therefore, States that apply must identify a specific city, town, county or multi-county partnership that will be the targeted geographic area of need.
| Funding Mechanism: | Grant |
| Anticipated Total Available Funding: | Up to $8 million |
| Anticipated Number of Awards: | Up to 16 |
| Anticipated Award Amount: |
Up to $500,000 |
| Length of Project Period: | Up to 3 years |
Proposed budgets cannot exceed $500,000 in total costs (direct and indirect) in any year of the proposed project. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting project goals and objectives, and timely submission of required data and reports.
