Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 10 004

• The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Adminis. in the health sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity for Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts" and is now available to receive applicants.
• Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 93.243 Substance Abuse and Mental Health ServicesProjects of Regional and National Significance.
• This funding opportunity was created on Dec 1, 2009 and posted on Dec 1, 2009.
• Applicants must submit their applications by Feb 23, 2010. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2024.)
• The funding agency has allocated a total of $8,800,000.00 to eligible and selected applicants.
• Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $325,000.00 in funding.
• The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 27 candidate(s).
• Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
• SAMHSA/CSAT is restricting eligibility to existing individual Juvenile Treatment Drug Courts or their Tribal/State or local governmental proxies who may apply on their behalf. Therefore, in addition to direct application by an individual Juvenile Treatment Drug Court, units of Tribal/State/local government such as the Tribal Court Administrator, the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Single State Agency for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the designated State Drug Court Coordinator, or local governmental unit such as county or city agency with direct involvement with the drug court may apply on behalf of an individual juvenile treatment drug court. When the Tribe/State/local governmental unit is the applicant, all grant funds awarded must be dedicated to the individual juvenile treatment drug court with the exception of a small set aside, not to exceed two percent of the total award, that is permissible to cover the cost of administration and oversight of the grant. Grantees from the FY 2009 cohort for the Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity for Juvenile Drug Courts program are not eligible to apply. Eligible juvenile treatment drug courts must have demonstrated relationships and agreements with existing community based substance abuse treatment providers in order to create the necessary networks to successfully implement these grants. Public and private nonprofit organizations such as substance abuse treatment providers have a pivotal supporting role in treatment drug court programs and may be sub recipients/contractors to the applicant. However, they are not the catalysts for entry into drug court and are therefore restricted from applying. In those cases where a Tribe/State/local unit of government (city/county) applies on behalf of a drug court, the Tribe/State/local governmental unit will be the award recipient and the entity responsible for satisfying the grant requirements. Although funding is intended for individual drug courts, SAMHSA recognizes the scarcity of treatment resources in some rural communities. Therefore, it is allowable for contiguous rural counties in one State to apply as a multi county partnership to serve more than one drug court within the identified counties. However, in such situations, one county unit of government must assume the role of lead applicant, which will oversee and administer the grant for the multiple jurisdictions. This grant program is not intended to provide start up funds to create new juvenile treatment drug courts. Applicant drug courts must be operational for at least one year at the time of application. Operational is defined as a judge being designated as a drug court judge with a drug court docket of cases and seeing defendants in drug court on a regular and recurring basis for at least one year prior to the submission of the grant application. By signing the cover page (SF 424 v2) of the application, the authorized representative of the applicant organization is certifying that the Juvenile Treatment Drug Court applying for funds is operational, as defined above, for at least one year at the time of application. Applications submitted by entities other than the State Substance Abuse Agency (SSA) must include a letter from the SSA Director or designated representative that provides support for the application and confirms that the proposal conforms to the framework of the State Strategy of Substance Abuse Treatment. If applicable, this letter must be included in Attachment 4 of your application or it will not be reviewed and you will not be considered for an award. A listing of the SSAs can be found on SAMHSA s Web site at http://www.samhsa.gov/Grants/ssadirectory.pdf... See the RFA for complete eligibility requirements.
