DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Funding Opportunity
AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Supplement Grant to
the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence
Prevention at Educational Development Corporation (EDC) of Newton,
Massachusetts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award
approximately $250,000 for up to fifteen months to expand grant
activities funded under the Technical Assistance Center for Mental
Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention to implement a Back to
School media campaign targeted at the Gulf Coast schools impacted by
the Deepwater oil spill. This is not a formal request for applications.
This award is contingent upon the availability of funding. Assistance
will be provided only to the current grantee of the Technical
Assistance Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence
Prevention based on the receipt of a satisfactory application that is
approved by an independent review group.
Funding Opportunity Title: SM-10-020.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
Authority: Sections 501(d)(5), 501(d)(18), 520A, 231, of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act [42 U.S.C. 290aa; 42 U.S.C. 290bb-
32, 42 U.S.C. 238, respectively].
Justification: Only an application from the current grantee,
National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence
Prevention at Educational Development Corporation (EDC), will be
considered for funding under this announcement. Fifteen-months funding
may become available to implement a Back to School Media Support for
Gulf Coast States Impacted by the Deepwater Oil Spill grant. The
current grantee will provide technical assistance and is in a unique
position to address the needs of communities rapidly. This Center
currently provides technical assistance and training to strengthen the
capacity of active Safe Schools/Healthy Students grantees to sustain
the use of evidence-based strategies for mental health promotion and
school violence prevention. There is no other potential organization
with the required access and expertise.
Eligibility for this program supplement is restricted to the
current grantee, National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth
Violence Prevention at Educational Development Corporation (EDC).
Eligibility is limited because the magnitude of the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill and its impact on the residents of the Gulf Coast region have
led to an urgent need for disaster behavioral health communications
services targeting school aged children, youth and their families. This
supplement will serve to maximize efficiencies created under the
current services infrastructure. It would be inefficient and
duplicative to fund additional technical assistance services for a Back
to School Media Support for Gulf Coast States Impacted by the Deepwater
Oil Spill grant through a second organization.
