Opportunity Summary:
The Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success II SEOW Supplements (PFS II SEOW Supplements) is a SAMHSA discretionary funding opportunity that provides supplemental cooperative-agreement awards to strengthen and expand the work of State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroups (SEOWs) that are already operating under the FY 2012 Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success II (SPF PFS II) program. The underlying SPF PFS II program targets two major prevention priorities: reducing underage drinking among youth ages 12 to 20, and reducing prescription drug misuse and abuse among young people ages 12 to 25. These supplements are meant to deepen the data and epidemiology capacity behind those prevention efforts, especially in communities identified as high need, so that prevention strategies can be better guided by timely, practical information.
At the core of the supplement is an expectation that grantees use SEOW-driven data to continuously track whether prevention efforts are working, identify emerging problems early, and adjust resources or strategies when the data show that goals are not being met. Grantees are required, at a minimum, to work with their SEOWs to build a systematic, ongoing monitoring system focused on progress in reducing underage drinking and prescription drug abuse. This includes detecting trends over time and using those findings to redirect prevention resources as needed to improve outcomes under the SPF PFS II goals. The supplement also emphasizes the SEOWs role as a cross-sector partner: SEOWs are expected to collaborate with state and local agencies, organizations, and individuals so that data, analytic skills, and decision-making authority are actually used in planning and promoting positive behavioral health.
A major deliverable area is institutionalizing SEOW processes so the work is not temporary or dependent on a single funding cycle. That means documenting how the SEOW functions, strengthening the ability to sustain the SEOW over time, producing useful and usable data products, and disseminating findings to key decision makers in ways that support real-world policy and program decisions. Continuous evaluation is also part of this institutionalization effort, not just of prevention outcomes but of the data systems and processes themselves, so that the monitoring and reporting infrastructure improves over time.
More specifically, the supplemental funding supports building and maintaining a clear set of measurable indicators and translating them into an epidemiological profile that can be shared and used. Grantees are expected to develop a core set of indicators that describe both the magnitude and the distribution of substance-related consumption patterns and consequences across the state and within high-need communities. In addition, grantees must develop a similar set of indicators related to prevention of mental illness and promotion of positive behavioral health, again at both the statewide level and in high-need communities. The SEOW then collects, analyzes, interprets, and communicates these data through an epidemiological profile, which functions as a structured picture of risk, protective factors, patterns of use, and associated harms that can guide prevention priorities.
The funding can also be used to support specialized expertise, such as hiring or supporting an epidemiologist or data analyst, reflecting the program focus on strengthening analytic capacity and ensuring that data products are technically sound and actionable. The opportunity is authorized under Section 516 of the Public Health Service Act (as amended) and is aligned with the Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse topic area (HP 2020 SA). SAMHSA also strongly encourages grantees to maintain a smoke-free workplace and to promote abstinence from all tobacco products, with an exception noted for accepted tribal traditions and practices.
Administratively, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SP-13-007) was posted April 12, 2013, with an application closing date of May 31, 2013, and an archive date of June 30, 2013. SAMHSA anticipated making about 15 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $2.9 million. Individual awards were expected to range from $128,000 (floor) to $198,000 (ceiling), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was limited to the specific group of prior awardees: the 14 states and one Pacific Jurisdiction that received an FY 2012 PFS II award from SAMHSA. The agency contact listed for access issues was Eileen Bermudez in SAMHSA’s Division of Grants Management.
