CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
Notice of Availability of Funds for Parent Drug Corps Program
AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service
(hereinafter the ``Corporation'') announces the availability of
approximately $4,167,000 in grant funds for a nonprofit organization to
implement the Parent Drug Corps Program (``the Parent Corps Program'').
The purpose of the grant is to fund a national training system and
develop a network of volunteer parents engaged in a nationwide
substance abuse prevention effort. This estimate is a projection for
the guidance of potential applicants. The Corporation is not bound by
any estimate in this notice. These funds are available under authority
provided in Public Law 108-7, the Omnibus Appropriations Act for fiscal
year 2003. The program is a special volunteer program under section 122
of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, as amended (42 U.S.C.
4992). Applicable regulations include the uniform administrative
requirements for grants and agreements with institutions of higher
education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations, 45 CFR part
2543.
Eligible nonprofit organizations, including community organizations
(faith-based and secular), are encouraged to apply. The Corporation
anticipates receiving fewer than ten applications for this
solicitation, and anticipates making one grant award under this
announcement. The Corporation will make an award covering a period not
to exceed three years. The grant proposal must include a proposed
budget and proposed activities for the performance period. The
Corporation is uncertain as to whether additional funds will be made
available for Parent Drug Corps program grants in subsequent years, and
has no obligation to provide additional funding beyond the period of
this grant. Future funding is contingent on performance and the
availability of appropriations.
Note: This Notice is not a complete description of the
activities to be funded or of the application requirements. For
supplementary information and application guidelines go to the
Corporation's Web site at http://www.cns.gov/whatshot/notices.html.
DATES: We must receive your application by 5 p.m. on July 14, 2003. We
anticipate announcing selections under this Notice no later than August
20, 2003.
