Opportunity Summary:
The Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success State and Tribal Initiative (SPF PFS) was a FY 2014 discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning SAMHSA expected to have an ongoing, substantial role in guiding and collaborating with awardees rather than simply providing pass-through funding. The overall intent of the program was to strengthen and scale evidence-based prevention work using the Strategic Prevention Framework approach, with a clear focus on measurable population-level prevention outcomes.
The program targeted two national substance use prevention priorities affecting youth and young adults. First, it aimed to reduce underage drinking among people ages 12 to 20. Second, it sought to prevent prescription drug misuse and abuse among people ages 12 to 25. In practice, this emphasis signaled that applicants were expected to organize prevention strategies, partnerships, and data-driven planning around these two problem areas, including identifying high-need communities and implementing interventions likely to reduce initiation, misuse, and related harms within the specified age groups.
Eligibility was limited and specifically designed for certain state and tribal systems with prior SPF experience. Eligible applicants included states (and comparable jurisdictions such as U.S. territories, Pacific jurisdictions, and the District of Columbia) and tribal entities that had completed a Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG). At the same time, applicants could not be currently receiving funds through SAMHSA Partnerships for Success (PFS) grants, which effectively narrowed the pool to jurisdictions positioned to build on prior SPF SIG infrastructure but not already funded under PFS. The listing also indicated that eligibility details required referencing an additional eligibility section in the full announcement, but the core gatekeeping criteria were completion of SPF SIG and not being a current PFS recipient.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial at the national level. SAMHSA estimated approximately $47,000,000 in total available funding, with an expectation of 34 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was listed as $2,016,000, and there was no stated minimum (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically makes participation more feasible for public agencies and tribal governments that may have limited ability to contribute non-federal funds. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.243 (SAMHSA Projects of Regional and National Significance), placing it within SAMHSA's broader portfolio of competitively awarded initiatives intended to produce regional and national prevention impact.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 14, 2014, with a closing deadline of May 14, 2014, and it was later archived on June 13, 2014. The funding opportunity number was SP-14-004, and the formal title was "Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success State and Tribal Initiative (SPF PFS)." As with many federal notices, the announcement included a designated grants management contact for applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically: Eileen Bermudez in SAMHSA's Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management, located in Rockville, Maryland, with phone and email provided for direct assistance.
In short, SPF PFS (FY 2014) was a cooperative agreement program aimed at helping eligible states and tribal entities expand and sustain data-driven, partnership-based prevention efforts using the Strategic Prevention Framework, specifically to reduce underage drinking (ages 12-20) and prescription drug misuse and abuse (ages 12-25). It offered up to just over $2.0 million per award, anticipated 34 awards nationwide, required no matching funds, and was restricted to jurisdictions that had completed SPF SIG and were not already funded through SAMHSA PFS.
