• 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 In Adult and Family Drug Courts (Short Title SAMHSA 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 May 10, 2012 and posted on May 8, 2012.
• Applicants must submit their applications by Jun 21, 2012. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2024.)
• The funding agency has allocated a total of $14,135,000.00 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 52 candidate(s).
• Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
• Eligibility is limited to States/Tribes, local units of government, and State/Tribal Courts applying on behalf of a single existing drug court jurisdiction, or to local operating adult misdemeanor or felony treatment drug courts and family dependency/drug courts that have demonstrated relationships and agreements with existing domestic public and private nonprofit entities and community based treatment providers. Therefore, in addition to direct application by an individual misdemeanor or felony Adult or Family Treatment Drug Court, units of State/tribal/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 adult treatment drug court. When the Tribal/State, County or local government is the applicant, all grant funds awarded must be dedicated to the individual 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. In order to reach more drug courts, the following SAMHSA/CSAT drug court grantees are not eligible to apply for funding under this solicitation FY 2010 SAMHSA Adult Treatment Drug Court grantees FY 2010 SAMHSA BJA Adult Drug Court grantees and FY 2011 SAMHSA BJA Adult Drug Court grantees. This grant is NOT intended for Juvenile Drug Courts and those entities should not apply. 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. Furthermore, eligible applicants 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. To better ensure coordination between the criminal justice and community based substance abuse treatment systems, applications must include a letter from the State Substance Abuse Agency (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. All applicants (unless the applicant is the SSA) must include this letter 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 SAMHSAs Web site at www.samhsa.gov/Grants/ssadirectory.pdf. ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION AT http://www.samhsa.gov/grants/2012/ti12005.aspx.
