Short Title: SPF SIG

Key Dates:

As authorized under Section 516 of the Public Health Service Act, SAMHSA-CSAP announces the availability of cooperative agreement funds for Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants (SPF SIGs). 

The SPF SIG program is one of SAMHSA’s Infrastructure Grant programs.  SAMHSA’s Infrastructure Grant programs support an array of activities to help grantees build a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective substance abuse and/or mental health services.  The SPF SIGs, in particular, will provide funding to States to implement SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework in order to:

• prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking,

• reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities, and

• build prevention capacity and infrastructure at the State and community levels.

This program is intended to help States enhance the prevention infrastructure and service delivery system throughout the State.  Applicants for the SPG SIG must have the ability to leverage and coordinate all prevention-related sources of funding and other resources in order to achieve the goals of the Strategic Prevention Framework.  Therefore, eligibility for the SPF SIG is limited to the immediate office of the Governor in those States and Territories that currently receive the SAPT Block Grant. Governors are strongly encouraged to designate administration and oversight of the SPF SIG to the agency in the State that manages the 20 percent prevention set-aside of the SAPT Block Grant.

It is expected that approximately $45 million will be available to fund up to 20 awards in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004.  Annual awards are expected to be $3.0 million or less per year in total costs (direct and indirect).  Applicants may request a project period of up to 5 years. 

Based on the President’s budget request for FY 2005, SAMHSA expects to have additional funds available for a small number of new awards in 2005.  The amount available for new awards in FY 2005 will be determined by the final appropriation.  Because the number of new awards to be made is expected to be small, SAMHSA does not currently plan to republish the SPF SIG announcement for 2005.  Instead, SAMHSA plans to make FY 2005 awards to applicants who submit applications under this grant announcement but do not receive funding in FY 2004.  All States are strongly encouraged to apply for an SPF SIG grant in FY 2004.
