The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), announces the availability
of FY 2004 funds for Youth Transition into the Workplace Grants
(YIW). A synopsis of this funding opportunity, as well as many
other Federal Government funding opportunities, is also available at the
Internet site: www.grants.gov.
For complete instructions, potential applicants must obtain a copy of
SAMHSA’s standard Service-to-Science Grants Program Announcement [STS-04
PA (MOD)], and the PHS 5161-1 (Rev. 7/00) application form before
preparing and submitting an application. The STS-04 PA (MOD) describes
the general program design and provides instructions for applying for
all SAMHSA Service-to-Science Grants, including the Youth Transition into
the Workplace Grants. Additional instructions and specific requirements
for this funding opportunity are described below.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
AUTHORITY: Section 501(d)(5) of the Public Health Service Act,
as amended, and subject to the availability of funds
Youth Transition into the Workplace Grants (YIW Grants) is
one of SAMHSA’s Service-to-Science Grants. SAMHSA’s Service-to-Science
Grants provide funds to document and evaluate innovative practices that
address critical substance abuse and mental health service gaps, but
have not yet been formally evaluated. These grants will help organizations
that have identified promising new practices to evaluate and package
those innovations for review and inclusion in the National Registry
of Effective Programs (NREP), as well as for future research. (Information
on NREP is at:
http://modelprograms.samhsa.gov).
The purpose of the YIW Grants is to broaden CSAP’s prior
workplace prevention initiatives related to prevention and early intervention,
as well as related co-morbidity issues for employees and their families.
Examples of well-researched interventions are: NREP workplace programs,
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs); drug-free workplace programs; peer
to peer; health and wellness programs; health risk assessments and health
care prevention initiatives. Grantees will be expected to document,
implement, and evaluate workplace prevention/early intervention programs
tailored for young adult employees ages 16-24. Specific attention
should be paid to gender, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and occupational
variations.
The YIW Grant Program will be implemented in two phases.
Applicants must apply for the combined Phase I & II grant,
as described in the STS-04 PA (MOD). Applications for Phase I
or Phase II alone will not be accepted. Phase I and II grants
will be made as “cooperative agreements.” As such, grantees
will be expected to work with a national steering committee to share
early findings, apply agreed-upon methodologies and analysis techniques,
and write cross-cutting documents and articles. They will also
be expected to participate in an OMB approved, confidential, cross-site
survey of employees administered by the cross-site contract evaluator.
Phase I will take place in years 1–2. During Phase
I, applicants will develop or enhance and document an existing intervention
and collect baseline survey and administrative data.
During Phase II (years 3– 5), the intervention/program will
be implemented and fully evaluated. Phase II will include follow-up
survey and administrative data collection supporting a cross-site evaluation
of all Phase II grantees. Grantees completing the 5-year process
will have sufficient documentation to apply for NREP status.
It is important to note that SAMHSA/CSAP does not expect
that all Phase I grantees will necessarily move on to Phase II.
Grantees must document, to the satisfaction of the Government Project
Officer, that they have achieved the Phase I Performance Expectations
articulated in the STS-04 PA (MOD); that they can provide the required
performance data; and that the practice to be evaluated shows sufficient
promise to warrant continued funding before the Phase II award will
be approved. Continuation criteria by which Phase I grantees will
be approved for Phase II funding is as follows: baseline survey
response rate; baseline survey sample size (number of completed surveys);
baseline prevalence of targeted behaviors (e.g., risky drinking, heavy
drinking, illicit drug use) among youth/young adult employees; number
of employees enrolled during Phase 1 (e.g., total number enrolled);
employees ages 16–24 retention rate; planned intervention design; and
demonstrated access to the necessary administrative (company) data;
and documentation of worksite management and other stakeholder interest
in and support of project (e.g., support letters)

Background: Workplaces are one of a few important
transition points for youth in our society, from school to work, and
from youth to young adult. Research on youthful workers indicates
a positive relationship between the number of hours worked to social
and health problems including: absences from school, negative family
relationships, delinquency, and alcohol and drug use. Youth working
part time (more than 20 hours per week) are at greatest risk for use
of alcohol and illegal drugs. National Household Survey data disclose
that almost 73 percent of all current drug users ages 18–49 are employed
full or part-time, which is more than 8.3 million workers. The
highest rate of illicit drug abuse and heavy alcohol use is among 18-25
year olds.
The CSAP workplace prevention research initiative identified
a variety of successful workplace prevention, early identification,
and early intervention activities for entire workforces. (For complete
listings see: http://workplace.samhsa.gov).
Yet little is known about how well these programs work for younger employees
(ages 16 - 24) and how to tailor them for this population. Given
the high risk for substance abuse of this age group; the growing number
of this age group being recruited in a wide range of workplace environments;
and the lack of sufficient knowledge concerning prevention and early
interventions for this age group within a workplace setting, the workplace
is seen as an excellent location for a services-to-science program.

II. Award Information
1. Estimated Funding Available/Number
of Awards: It is expected that $2.0 million will be available
to fund approximately 13 Phase I awards only in FY 2004. Phase
I awards will be up to $150,000 in total costs (direct and indirect)
per year for up to 2 years. Phase II awards (which are expected
to begin in FY 2006) will be for up to $500,000 in total costs (direct
and indirect) per year for up to 3 years. Awards for combined
Phase I and II grants may not exceed 5 years. Proposed budgets
cannot exceed $150,000 in any year for Phase I or $500,000 in any year
for Phase II. The actual amount available for the awards may vary,
depending on unanticipated program requirements and the number and quality
of the applications received.
Phase I awards will be made for project periods of up to 2 years, and
Phase II awards will be made for project periods of up to 3 years.
The project periods for Phase I and Phase II awards combined may not
exceed 5 years. Annual continuations will depend on the availability
of funds; grantee progress in meeting program goals and objectives;
the ability of the grantee to collect GPRA and other core data; and
timely submission of required data and reports.
2. Funding Instrument: Cooperative Agreement
|
|
|
Role of Grantee
Each grantee will retain responsibility for data collection,
data analysis and interpretation, quality control, and preparation of
reports and publications specific to each site. The YIW Contractor
will conduct the cross-site survey. However, grantees will be
responsible for all work related to survey access, consent procedures,
response rates, and marketing the survey. Grantees must
be willing to collaborate with the SAMHSA CSAP staff and participate
in the cross-site activities. As SAMHSA CSAP, the YIW Contractor,
the Steering Committee, and grantees will identify new and useful methodologies
or standardized measures, grantees should be willing to consider adaptation
of this information as appropriate.
Cross-site activities will include, but are not limited
to: participation in Steering Committee meetings; agreement on the study
analysis across projects; adoption of cross-site measures and instruments;
submission of data (which will be kept confidential within the specifications
of the grantee) to the YIW Contractor throughout the study (on an agreed
upon schedule) for cross-site analysis and reports; support of the cross-site
Contractor’s collection of survey data (which includes GPRA data);
and participation in meetings and publications to disseminate the findings
of the individual project and the overall program.
Participants must be willing to share data (confidentiality
of the data source will be assured by SAMHSA CSAP), and comply with
publication and authorship policies to be developed by the Steering
Committee for this program. Specific activities for future
replication of these projects in Phase II will include the development
of a replication training manual.
|
|
|
Role of Contractor
The YIW Contractor, under direction of the SAMHSA CSAP project
officer, will be responsible for the collection, analysis, and dissemination
of cross-site and employee survey data. The YIW Contractor shall host
the grantee employee survey (including GPRA data) and assure confidentiality
of that data. The YIW Contractor will be responsible for participating
as a member of the Steering Committee; serving as a repository for and
analyzing the cross-site analysis data; and for providing technical
assistance to grantees, as appropriate.
|
|
|
Role of Federal Staff
SAMHSA CSAP staff will be active participants in all aspects
of the cooperative agreements and will serve as collaborators with the
grantee project directors and Contractor. SAMHSA CSAP staff will
provide substantial input, in collaboration with the grantees and the
Contractor, both in the planning and conduct of this program.
SAMHSA CSAP staff involvement may include provision of technical
assistance; participation in the redesign/modification of grantee or
cross-site study design; consultation assuring reproducibility of results
and the development of the replication training manuals; arrangement
of meetings supporting cooperative agreement activities; membership
on the Steering Committee and other working groups established to meet
program goals; and authorship/co-authorship of publications to disseminate
findings. SAMHSA CSAP staff will be subject to the publication/authorship
policies to be developed by the Steering Committee.
SAMHSA CSAP will be responsible for arranging and convening
Steering Committee meetings with assistance from the Contractor; for
meeting costs not covered by the grantee’s and Contractor’s budgets
(i.e., other than individual travel expenses); and for inviting expert
consultants, selected by the grantees, to serve and assist on the Steering
Committee and facilitating their participation.
SAMHSA CSAP will be providing grantees with information
and findings it has obtained and analyzed over the course of the contract.
This may include descriptions of operating models of workplace prevention
programs for youthful populations ages 16-24 incorporating substance
use/abuse prevention, early intervention, and treatment activities and
strategies; health, wellness, and safety strategies; measurement instruments
and tools; and findings from national, State, and local surveys and
research.
|
|
|
Role of Steering Committee
The Steering Committee members will consist of the project
director and evaluator from each project, project director and staff
of the YIW contract, ex-officios, and SAMHSA CSAP staff. SAMHSA
CSAP will appoint the Chair of the Steering Committee from the pool
of grantee members in accordance with the majority vote of members,
one vote per grantee, one vote by SAMHSA CSAP. SAMHSA CSAP will
appoint ex-officios from other Federal and/or State agencies having
exceptional knowledge and experience concerning this issue. SAMHSA
CSAP staff will participate in, but not chair, the Committee.
No entity will have veto power. SAMHSA CSAP staff will participate
as a full member of any subcommittee that is established.
The Steering Committee will have the primary responsibility
for agreeing to the cross-site evaluation design, the dissemination
of findings and products. The Steering Committee will, consistent
with the provisions of 45 CFR 74.36, develop policies on access to data
and materials and publications in accordance with the requirements of
SAMHSA. Publications will be written and authorship decided using procedures
developed by the Steering Committee. The quality of publications
resulting from the study will be the responsibility of the authors;
no SAMHSA clearances will be required. (Note: Publications on
which SAMHSA CSAP staff are included as authors or coauthors will receive
internal agency clearance.)
The Steering Committee will develop its own procedures and
is expected to develop consensus agreement on most decisions.
All decisions that cannot be made by consensus will be made by majority
vote.
The first meeting of the Steering Committee will be convened
at the request of the SAMHSA CSAP staff. It is estimated that
up to two meetings (not to exceed two meetings) will be needed in years
1 and 2 to develop the final cross-site analysis study design.
The first meeting will be for 3 days and other meetings should last
between 1- 2 days per meeting. In years 3–5, Phase II, 1 day meetings
will be held 2 - 3 times per year. One meeting per year will be
a Steering Committee Meeting along with a Knowledge Exchange Meeting
to share early findings and outcomes with the field. The majority
of Steering Committee meetings will be held in the Washington, D.C.
area.
All participants will agree to abide by the decisions
and recommendations made by the Steering Committee and any required
SAMHSA approvals set forth in the terms and conditions of this cooperative
agreement.

will be implemented successfully in or through the workplace.a.
In “Section B: Proposed Approach,” applicants must describe how interventions
will be redesigned and adapted for the target population, and how they
will be implemented successfully in or through the workplace.
c.
In “Section C: Evaluation Design and Analysis,” applicants must describe
how they will work with SAMHSA, the YIW cross-site evaluator, and other
grantees to adopt a common self-report survey to measure use/abuse and
change of perception of harm, as well as other behavioral and attitudinal
measures related to substance abuse prevention and early intervention
programs. Baseline data will be collected during Phase I, with
follow-up data collection occurring during the Phase II grant.
|
|
|
1.3 Performance Measurement:
All SAMHSA grantees are required to collect and report certain
data, so that SAMHSA can meet its obligations under the Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA). Grantees of the YIW program will be required
to report performance in several areas. Applicants must document
their ability to collect and report the required data in “Section C:
Evaluation Design and Analysis” of their applications.
Phase I - Phase I of the YIW initiative will include
grantees that will be at different stages of readiness in their intervention
and prevention efforts. As such, Phase I measures focus on process.
Grantees must be prepared to collect and report (as directed by CSAP)
the following data in Phase I of the YIW initiative:
a.
The number of employees exposed to the intervention. Grantees
will be expected to support claims of employee enrollment/exposure through
documentation such as employee sign-up sheets, receipts for materials
dispersed, or surveys of participants.
b.
The percentage of employees in the worksite population that are ages
16–24. Grantees must have the ability to provide records-based administrative
data that sufficiently describe their worksite population. These
descriptive data include employee age, sex, race/ethnicity, tenure with
company, union status, termination status, and health plan enrollment.
Although the data available is likely to vary across grantees, they
will also be expected to provide other information such as absenteeism,
earnings, job type/occupation, and workplace injuries.
c.
Total number of labor hours spent delivering the intervention.
Grantees will be required to provide supporting documentation through
process logs or other time reporting mechanisms that adequately document
the total labor hours required to do the intervention.
In addition to the above data, any Phase I grantee providing
direct services to individuals is required to collect data from service
recipients as described under "c" below.
|
|
|
Phase II - Phase II of the YIW initiative
will include a smaller number of select grantees that will conduct and
evaluate prevention/intervention activities during Phase II. Measures
in this second phase include process, outcome, and cost measures.
Grantees in Phase II must be prepared to collect and report the following
data:
a. The number of employees
exposed to the intervention by age group and demographic characteristics.
Grantees will be expected to support claims of employee enrollment/exposure
through documentation such as employee sign-up sheets, receipts for
materials dispersed, or surveys of participants. In addition,
the associated demographic variables will be obtained from records-based
administrative data.
b.
Total delivery costs of the intervention. These costs are
to include the following:
1) total labor hours used by all personnel that are involved
in the intervention (paid labor and volunteers);
2) total square feet of space used in delivering the intervention
(paid space and space used free of charge);
3) total number of supplies and materials such as brochures, handouts,
office supplies, computer software, etc. used in the intervention (paid
supplies and donated/free supplies);
4) wages of paid labor (including fringe benefits such as paid time
off, health insurance, disability benefits, pension, etc. and reproduction
cost) and the fair market value of volunteer time;
5) cost of space used for the intervention (either the rent paid or
the estimated fair market value of the property given its location and
total area);
6) additional costs related to space use that includes building
maintenance and utilities;
7) unit cost of all supplies and materials;
8) depreciation costs of capital resources used in the intervention
such as furniture, equipment, security system, and computers; and
9) administrative overheads (either a flat figure or a percentage of
direct labor costs or total expenditure).
Grantees will be required to
provide supporting documentation through process logs or other time
reporting mechanisms that adequately document the total labor hours
required to do the intervention. In addition, grantees must use
other costing tools (e.g., DATCAP) to accurately capture all relevant
intervention-related costs. The YIW cross-site evaluation contractor,
along with CSAP, will provide a template along with technical assistance
for capturing this information.
An electronic version of this
form, along with instructions for completing the form, are available
on the SAMHSA web site, along with this NOFA. Hard copies of the
form and instructions for completing the form will be provided in the
application kits distributed by SAMHSA’s National Clearinghouse for
Alcohol and Drug Information.
c. Outcome Data. Once
service delivery begins, outcome data must be collected for those ages
16 and older using CSAP’s GPRA data tool for adults. In addition,
if applicants are targeting any of the five domains of prevention-related
human behaviors and attitudes [Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Use
(ATOD); Individual/Peer; Family; School; or Community], they must use
CSAP Core Measures for adults. All applications must 1) identify which
core measures the applicant proposes to collect for their program and
2) describe their ability to collect and report data on these measures.
The awardee and the CSAP project officer will jointly finalize the selection
of core measures based on the nature of the program model selected and
the domain within which the program will be implemented. This
will be accomplished following the notice of award. CSAP is currently
finalizing additional core measures specific to ages 16-25. These
will be communicated to grantees as soon as they are approved and cleared
through OMB.
The following documents should be
consulted when planning for data collection and reporting:
