Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2010 "Projects to Deliver Peer to Peer Recovery Support Services" opportunity is a SAMHSA grant program run through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) that focuses on expanding peer-driven recovery supports for people with alcohol and drug use disorders. The core aim is relapse prevention and long-term, sustained recovery by funding community-based services led by people in recovery (peer leaders) who can offer practical, experience-based support to others in recovery and to their family members. The program sits under SAMHSA's Recovery Community Services Program (RCSP), authorized by section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, and it aligns with Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 on substance abuse.

Funded projects are expected to deliver peer-to-peer recovery support services that match the needs and strengths of the local community rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. In practice, this means applicants need to show they understand the local recovery landscape, identify gaps in supports, and build services that are culturally and contextually appropriate. A key requirement is performance assessment: grantees must evaluate what they deliver and demonstrate outcomes and service effectiveness, not just activity counts. The intent is both to help individuals and families maintain recovery and to strengthen "communities of recovery" so that recovery-supportive networks and resources persist beyond the grant period.

This is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health category. SAMHSA anticipated making 6 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,200,000. Individual awards could be up to $350,000 (no stated minimum award floor). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for nonprofits and public entities that may not have access to substantial local match funds.

Eligibility is limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities, and the statute specifically prohibits awards to for-profit agencies. Examples of eligible applicants include state and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, and community- and faith-based organizations. The announcement also clarifies what qualifies as a tribal organization and allows consortia of tribal organizations to apply as long as each participating entity documents its approval and participation. In addition, prior RCSP grantees from the FY 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2006 cohorts (with awards ending September 29, 2010) were permitted to apply again, while RCSP grantees from the 2007 cohort were not eligible.

A notable application requirement is that every applicant must clearly state whether it is applying as a Recovery Community Organization (RCO) or as a Facilitating Organization (FO). This designation must appear in the project narrative (specifically in the Statement of Need section) and in the required assurance documentation (the RCO/FO Designation and Statement of Assurance referenced as Appendix J in the full solicitation). SAMHSA required this designation for the application to be reviewed at all, meaning an otherwise strong proposal could be ruled ineligible if it failed to make the RCO versus FO status explicit.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted November 17, 2009, created February 12, 2010, and had a closing date that was extended from February 10, 2010 to February 19, 2010, with the notice archived March 12, 2010. The program is associated with CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance).
