SAMHSA Accepting Applications for FY 2009 Partnerships for Success: State and Community Prevention Performance Grants

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2009 to fund Partnerships for Success: State and Community Prevention Performance grants.  This program is designed to help states and U.S. territories reduce state-wide substance abuse rates.

The Partnerships for Success is designed to address gaps in prevention services and increase the ability of States to help specific populations or geographic areas with serious, emerging substance abuse problems. Grant awards will be made to applicants with established infrastructure and demonstrated capacity to reduce substance abuse problems and achieve specific program outcomes.  The program includes an incentive award to grantees that have reached or exceeded their prevention performance targets by the end of Year 3.

SAMHSA plans to award approximately four grants up to $2.3 million per grantee annually for up to five years.  The actual award amounts may vary, depending on the availability of funds and the performance of the grantee.  The grants will be administered by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).

WHO CAN APPLY:  Eligible applicants are immediate Office of the Chief Executive (e.g., Governor) in those states and U.S. territories that have previously received a Cohort I or Cohort II Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) from SAMHSA.

HOW TO APPLY: Applications for No. SP-09-005 are available by calling SAMHSA’s Information Line at 1-877-SAMHSA7 [TDD: 1 800-487-4889] or by downloading the application at: http://samhsa.gov/grants/2009/sp_09_005.aspx. Applicants are encouraged to apply online using www.grants.gov.

APPLICATION DUE DATE: Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Applications must be received by the due date and time to be considered for review.  Please review carefully Section IV-3 of the application announcement for submission requirements.
