Targeted Capacity Expansion Program for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for Fiscal Year 2003 funds for grants to enhance and expand substance abuse treatment and/or outreach and pretreatment services in conjunction with HIV/AIDS services in African American, Latino/Hispanic, and/or other racial or ethnic communities highly affected by the twin epidemics of substance abuse and HIV/AIDS. Who can apply: Funding will be directed to activities designed to deliver services specifically targeting racial and ethnic minority populations impacted by HIV/AIDS. Eligible entities may include: not-for-profit community-based organizations, national organizations, colleges and universities, clinics and hospitals, research institutions, State and local government agencies and tribal government and tribal/urban Indian entities and organizations. Faith-based organizations are eligible to apply. There are three additional requirements: 1. The applicant agency and all direct providers of substance abuse treatment and HIV/AIDS services with linkages to the applicant agency must be in compliance with all local, city, county and State licensing and accreditation/certification requirements. The application must include licensure/accreditation/certification documentation (or a statement as to why the local/State government does not require licensure/accreditation/certification). 2. The applicant agency, if a direct provider of substance abuse treatment and HIV/AIDS services, and all direct providers of substance abuse treatment and HIV/AIDS services involved in the project must have been providing those services for a minimum of 2 years prior to the date of this application. The application must include a list of all substance abuse treatment and HIV/AIDS service providers and documentation of 2-year experience. 3. Only applicants located in, or in close proximity to, and proposing to provide services in, one of the following are eligible to apply: a) Geographic areas within States with an annual AIDS case rate of, or greater than, 10 out of 100,000 people. b) MSAs with an annual AIDS case rate of, or greater than, 20 out of 100,000 among minority populations. Appendix B of the full grant announcement includes CDC annual case rates in States and MSAs.) Only applicants serving geographic areas within States and MSAs listed in Appendix B of the full grant announcement can apply. Applicants must specify the MSA or geographic area within a State where services are proposed. SAMHSA/CSAT is limiting eligibility to applicants serving MSAs and States listed in Appendix B because in the absence of consistent reporting of HIV data by all jurisdictions, the best indicator of the magnitude of the epidemic is AIDS case rates derived from the CDC HIV/AIDS surveillance reports.
