Supplemental Awards to Current Grantees in the CSAP Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant Program for High Risk Populations: Module B: Female Adolescents

This notice informs the public that CSAP is making available approximately $600,000 in FY 1995 for up to 13 supplemental awards to existing grantees funded under its Substance Abuse Prevention Demonstration Grant Program for High Risk Populations Program: Module B: Female Adolescents (hereafter referred to as Female Adolescent demonstration grantees). Limiting the use of these supplemental funds to currently funded Female Adolescent demonstration grantees permits more efficient use of available funds by making use of existing grant infrastructures and intervening with active clients in ongoing Female Adolescent projects. This supplemental funding is designed to support the development of gender-specific training and media literacy activities and their integration into ongoing grant efforts to prevent alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) use among high risk female adolescent clients. Female Adolescent grantees are encouraged to apply for these funds. Funds will support initiatives that expand upon existing efforts or add new or different program activities selected from these two areas. Specifically, the supplemental funds are available to supplement up to 13 Female Adolescent grants to design, implement, and evaluate effective, gender-specific training and media literacy activities that will strengthen and enhance currently funded Female Adolescent ATOD prevention projects. All Female Adolescent demonstration grantees, funded as of September 30, 1994 and in year one of a five-year grant award, are invited to apply for supplemental funds. Awards will be limited to one year and can not exceed a total (direct plus indirect costs) of $50,000. The receipt date for applications is June 20, 1995. The application receipt, review, and award process will be handled in an expedited manner. Applications will be reviewed for merit by a panel of expert Federal reviewers and supplements will be awarded on the basis of merit and availability of funds no later than September 30, 1995.
