SAMHSA Vision for NREPP
"NREPP becomes a leading national resource for contemporary and reliable
information on the scientific basis and practicality of interventions to
prevent and/or treat mental and substance use disorders."
|

NREPP represents:
- A major agency activity within SAMHSA's Science to Service initiative
- A decision support tool and valuable resource for state and community-based organizations seeking to identify and select interventions to meet their needs
- Not a list of approved programs and practices

Overview of Review Process
- Applicant submits intervention materials during open submission process
- Program Review Manager determines if minimum requirements are met and assigns priority points
- Interventions meeting minimum requirements in priority areas sent to SAMHSA Centers for approval
- SAMHSA approved interventions assigned to Review Coordinator who works with the applicant to complete review materials
|

Overview of Review Process (Continued)
- Intervention materials and summary packets prepared by Review Coordinators sent to two doctoral-level scientific reviewers to rate Strength of Evidence and Readiness for Dissemination dimensions
- Intervention materials sent to two consumer/family and/or program implementation reviewers to rate Readiness for Dissemination
- Scores and descriptive information sent to applicants for review and consent to post on NREPP Web site
- Intervention descriptive summaries and review results uploaded to NREPP Web site
|

Types of Materials Submitted
Strength of Evidence
- Research articles and published/unpublished evaluation reports
- Grant final reports
- Replication reports
- Implementation manuals
- Data collection manuals
|
7 |
Types of Materials Submitted (Continued)
Readiness for Dissemination
- Implementation guides, training manuals, presentations and curricula
- Quality assurance and monitoring protocols and procedures
- Data collection protocols for process and outcome measures
- Products and materials adapted for different age/cultural groups
|

Types of Materials Submitted (Continued)
Additional Documents / Narrative To Describe:
- Costs of implementation: Start-up and maintenance
- Proprietary components of intervention
- Implementation history of intervention
- Unintended or adverse effects of the intervention
- Contact information
|

Types of NREPP Reviewers
Strength of Evidence Reviewers
- Doctoral-level researchers and practitioners with scientific evaluation knowledge and experience
Readiness for Dissemination Reviewers
- Implementation experts and practitioners with service delivery experience; service consumers and/or family members
|

Three Minimum Requirements for NREPP Submission
- Demonstrate one or more positive outcomes in mental health and/or substance abuse behavior among individuals, communities, or populations
- Demonstrate intervention results have been published in a peer-reviewed publication or documented in a comprehensive evaluation report
- Demonstrate materials such as manuals, process guides, and training guides that are available to the public to implement the intervention.
|

Exclusions: These Interventions Should Not Be Submitted
- Stand-alone pharmacologic treatments (FDA reviews and approves these). NREPP reviews are
limited to on-label use of FDA-approved pharmacotherapy interventions that are combined with
one or more psychosocial treatments.
- Stand-alone smoking cessation interventions. These are only appropriate for NREPP
review when conducted as part of a program for treatment of alcohol or other drugs of abuse.

NREPP Priority Point System
1 priority point — Research design
Experimental (e.g., randomized control study) or quasi-experimental (e.g., pre/post with comparison group, or interrupted time series) research design
1 priority point — Priority topic area
Primary outcome(s) of the submitted intervention is (are) in one or more of SAMHSA's Center-specific priority areas.
