Opportunity Summary:
The Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (SPF PFS) grant opportunity was a FY 2013 discretionary funding program offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through its Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning SAMHSA anticipated an active partnership role with awardees rather than providing funding with minimal federal involvement. The overall intent of SPF PFS was to strengthen and expand evidence-based prevention systems at the state and community level using the Strategic Prevention Framework approach, with a clear focus on two high-priority national prevention issues affecting youth and young adults.
Programmatically, the opportunity targeted two specific substance use prevention priorities. First, it aimed to reduce underage drinking among youth ages 12 to 20, addressing alcohol access, norms, and related harms in that age group. Second, it sought to prevent prescription drug misuse and abuse among individuals ages 12 to 25, a population that includes adolescents and young adults who may be at heightened risk for nonmedical use of prescription medications. In practical terms, applicants were expected to concentrate their prevention planning and implementation on these age ranges and problem areas, aligning strategies with population-level outcomes rather than only individual services.
In terms of funding scale and anticipated reach, SAMHSA estimated total available funding of $28.5 million and expected to make about 17 awards. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was listed as $2,260,000, while the award floor was shown as $0, which typically indicates that SAMHSA did not commit to a minimum award size in the announcement language. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility was restricted and tied to prior SAMHSA prevention infrastructure investments. Specifically, applicants had to be recipients of the Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG), had to have completed a Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG), and also had to not be currently receiving funds through SAMHSA Partnerships for Success (PFS) grants, including the SPF PFS II grant. This design reflects an intent to fund jurisdictions that already built SPF capacity through SPF SIG and were positioned to sustain and scale prevention work, while avoiding duplication with states already funded under similar PFS initiatives.
The grant was posted and created on March 29, 2013, and the application deadline was May 17, 2013, with the opportunity later archived on June 16, 2013. The funding opportunity number was SP 13-004, and it was associated with CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Eileen Bermudez in SAMHSA's Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management, located in Rockville, Maryland, with a phone number (240-276-1412) and email (Eileen.bermudez@samhsa.hhs.gov).
