SAMHSA Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Program

Deadline: November 7, 2008

Applications for cooperative agreements to implement the Strategic Prevention Framework program are now being accepted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Program includes $38.1 million to fund approximately 20 programs with grants of up to $2.3 million. The Strategic Prevention Framework “uses a public-health approach built on a community-based risk and protective framework for prevention.” Objectives include preventing addiction, reducing addiction-related problems in communities, and building prevention capacity and infrastructure at the state and community levels.  Only states, territories, the District of Columbia, and federally recognized Native American tribes may apply.
