Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral and Treatment (SBIRT) Medical Residency Program: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2008 for Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral and Treatment (SBIRT) Medical Residency Program cooperative agreements. The primary purpose of the SBIRT Medical Residency Program is to develop and implement training programs to teach medical residents skills to provide evidence-based screening, brief intervention, brief treatment and referral to specialty treatment for patients who have, or are at risk for, a substance use disorder. Another purpose of the program is to promote adoption of SBIRT through delivery of training to local and Statewide medical communities for wider dissemination of SBIRT practices. The abuse of and addiction to substances (including the misuse of prescription medications) increases the risk for numerous health problems, including psychiatric disorders. A reduction in risky/problematic use or abuse of substances is a recognized medical preventive procedure. Evidence-based screening questionnaires can effectively detect and quantify a spectrum of problematic substance use disorders and protocol-driven brief interventions exist that can effectively reduce substance use. General medicine physicians are positioned to play a critical role in the recognition and treatment of patients with, or at risk for, Substance Use Disorders. Therefore, it is necessary to train physicians who staff and oversee such medical settings to provide and administer programs of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment. Since a significant portion of physician training for medical practice occurs in medical residency programs, it is necessary to establish SBIRT as an ongoing part of medical residency programs. Recognition of the validity of these services to be provided in medical and healthcare settings is underscored by adoption of new procedural codes by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and the American Medical Association-Current Procedural Terminology (AMA-CPT®) Board. SBIRT Medical Residency Program Grant funds are to be used to develop SBIRT curricula and clinical training as part of residency programs for physicians in primary care to include: family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, trauma, psychiatry and others. The goal of the program is to train physicians to provide SBIRT services and to promote systemic change in residency programs by integrating SBIRT into the curriculum on a long-term basis. The expectation is that SBIRT will be a component of the education provided to each successive class of medical residents. Allowable expenses will include items such as: 1) salary of faculty, administrative and secretarial staff; 2) cost of developing and administering the program, including curriculum development; and 3) following program establishment, delivery of training to house staff and local and Statewide medical communities for wider dissemination of SBIRT practices. Grant funds may not be used for direct patient services, tuition costs, or to pay medical residents or other participants in the program. The SBIRT Medical Residency Program Grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010, Volume II (Part B: Focus Area 26 - Substance Abuse).

Additional Information on Eligibility
Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. For example, State and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges; and community- and faith-based organizations may apply. Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities. Consortia of tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for-profit agencies. Given the subject matter, applications are encouraged from universities/colleges affiliated with teaching hospitals that offer residency programs and teaching hospitals with graduate training programs for medical residencies. However, because this is a new program, SAMHSA wants to provide potential applicants maximum flexibility and opportunity for innovation in the design of these SBIRT Medical Residency programs. Therefore, SAMHSA has decided to provide open eligibility for this program. If the applicant is not an academic medical center or academic affiliated teaching hospital, the applicant must provide MOUs, MOAs, IAAs, or formal contractual agreements that demonstrate existing relationships with academic medical centers or academic affiliated teaching hospitals to implement the SBIRT curriculum. These documents must be provided in Appendix 4 of your application.
