Opportunity Summary:
The Capacity Building Initiative for Substance Abuse (SA) and HIV Prevention Services for At Risk Racial/Ethnic Minority Youth and Young Adults (HIV CBI) is a SAMHSA cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen the ability of community-level organizations to deliver and sustain high-quality, accessible, evidence-informed substance abuse and HIV prevention services. The focus is on building a durable foundation for prevention work so organizations are better equipped over time, not just for a short-term project. The program targets populations at elevated risk, with a specific emphasis on racial and ethnic minority youth and young adults ages 13 to 24, and it is intended to help prevent or reduce both the onset of substance use and the transmission of HIV/AIDS in the communities being served.
A central feature of the opportunity is its expectation of comprehensive, combined prevention strategies rather than isolated activities. Applicants are expected to integrate education and awareness efforts with broader social marketing campaigns and to provide HIV and viral hepatitis testing services in non-traditional settings, linking these services directly with substance abuse and HIV prevention programming for the population of focus. In practical terms, this points to meeting young people where they are (including outside traditional clinic environments), increasing visibility and uptake of prevention messaging, and pairing outreach with concrete services such as testing. SAMHSA specifically signals interest in college and university clinics or wellness centers, as well as community-based providers, that can deliver coordinated prevention approaches for youth and young adults in real-world community settings.
Eligibility is intentionally limited to entities positioned to operate at the community level and directly influence local prevention capacity. Eligible applicants include domestic public and private nonprofit organizations, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations. The notice gives examples such as community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, middle and high schools, colleges and universities, health care delivery organizations, and local governments, in addition to tribal and urban Indian entities. Tribal organization is defined to include recognized tribal governing bodies or legally established American Indian/Alaska Native organizations that are controlled, sanctioned, chartered, or democratically elected by the Indian community being served, with maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of activities. Consortia of tribal organizations may apply, but each participating entity must document approval. SAMHSA explains that this eligibility restriction is meant to prioritize organizations that are closest to the communities and best positioned to expand the provider base, strengthen organizational capacity, and improve HIV prevention reach within racial and ethnic communities.
From a funding standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SP-15-005; CFDA 93.243) was posted February 20, 2015, with an application closing date of April 23, 2015, and an archive date of May 23, 2015. SAMHSA anticipated up to 48 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $14,193,763 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means SAMHSA expects substantial federal involvement in supporting or guiding aspects of implementation compared with a standard grant.
The program also emphasizes local responsibility and service to the community where the applicant is located. Grantees must be prepared to serve their surrounding community rather than operating as a remote or disconnected initiative. Overall, HIV CBI is aimed at helping community-rooted organizations build lasting prevention infrastructure and deliver integrated substance abuse and HIV prevention services for at-risk racial and ethnic minority youth and young adults, combining outreach, messaging, and testing in ways that increase access and impact.
