Adopt/Expand Effective Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is accepting applications for Fiscal Year 2003 for grants to increase the provision and effectiveness of alcohol and drug abuse treatment for adolescents by adoption/expansion of Motivational Enhancement Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - 5 sessions (MET/CBT 5). This is a Targeted Capacity Expansion program. Who can apply: Public and domestic private non-profit entities are eligible to apply, including units of State and local government, Native Alaskan entities, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and community organizations, including faith based organizations. Since SAMHSA/CSAT believes that only existing, experienced, and appropriately credentialed providers with demonstrated infrastructure and expertise will be able to provide required services quickly and effectively, all treatment providers participating in the proposed project must meet three criteria. 1. All direct providers of substance abuse treatment services involved in the proposed project must have been providing treatment services for adolescents for a minimum of two years prior to the date of the application. 2. If the applicant organization is not a direct provider of substance abuse treatment services, the applicant must document a commitment from one or more experienced, licensed, adolescent treatment providers to participate in the proposed project. A listing of all substance abuse treatment providers included in the proposed project must also be included. 3. All direct providers of substance abuse services involved in the proposed project must be in compliance all applicable local, city, county and State requirements for licensing, accreditation, and certification, and must supply documentation of this. If licensure, accreditation, and/or certification are not required by the local, city, county, and State, this must also be documented. Applications will be screened by SAMHSA prior to review. Applications that do not meet the following eligibility requirements will not be reviewed: 1. Non-profit status. 2. Licensure/Accreditation/Certification requirements. 3. Two years of experience in providing treatment services for adolescents. Est. Funds for FY 2003: $7 million Est. No. of Awards: 28 35 awards in FY 2003. The average annual award will range from $200,000 to $250,000 in total costs (direct and indirect). Actual funding levels will depend on the availability of funds.
