Projects should aim to reduce substance use issues, including underage drinking, opioid misuse, and tobacco use. SAMHSA encourages coordination with local and state agencies, specifically through SPF-PFS State awardees when applicable. Applications must include a project narrative (10-page maximum), budget justifications, letters of commitment from partners, and a data collection plan. Key personnel, such as a Project Director and Data Analyst, are required to devote at least 0.5 FTE each to the project. Successful applicants will also create a Disparity Impact Statement to outline plans for addressing behavioral health disparities in their target communities. Evaluation of applications will consider factors such as community need, clarity of the project plan, organizational experience, and cost-effectiveness.
