Cooperative Agreements for Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral and Treatment (SBIRT): The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2006 Cooperative Agreements for Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral and Treatment (SBIRT). SBIRT Cooperative Agreements will expand and enhance State substance abuse treatment service systems by: * Expanding the States continuum of care to include screening, brief intervention, referral, and brief treatment (SBIRT) in general medical and other community settings (e.g., community health centers, nursing homes, schools and student assistance programs, occupational health clinics, hospitals, emergency departments); * Supporting clinically appropriate services for persons at risk for, or diagnosed with, a Substance Use Disorder (i.e., Substance Abuse or Dependence) (Note: for the purpose of the RFA at risk is defined as persons who are using substances but who do not yet meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Substance Use Disorder); and * Identifying systems and policy changes to increase access to treatment in generalist and specialist settings.The SBIRT program is 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).SAMHSAs Services Grants are designed to address gaps in substance abuse services and/or to increase the ability of States, units of local government, federally recognized Tribes, Tribal organizations, and community- and faith-based organizations to help specific populations or geographic areas with serious, emerging substance abuse problems. SAMHSA intends that its Services Grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible and no later than 6 months after award.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification) Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) State governments
Additional Information on Eligibility: States, Territories, federally recognized tribes, and tribal organizations are eligible to apply. For States, the applicant must be the immediate Office of the Governor; for Territories, tribes, and tribal organizations, the applicant must be the highest ranking official. The Governor/highest ranking official must sign the application. Applications not signed by the Governor/highest ranking official are not eligible. State-level agencies are not considered to be part of the immediate Office of the Governor and are not eligible to apply. For example, the State Substance Abuse Authority (SSA) or other State-level agencies within the Executive Branch cannot apply independently. SAMHSA has limited eligibility because the immediate Office of the Governor/highest ranking official of a Territory, tribe and Tribal organization has the greatest potential to provide the multi-agency leadership needed to develop the applicants treatment service systems to increase the applicants capacity to provide accessible, effective, screening, brief intervention, referral and brief treatment services to persons at risk for, or diagnosed with, a Substance Use Disorder (Substance Abuse or Dependence). Eligible jurisdictions that have already begun to develop such integrated systems, stressing early intervention for persons at risk for, or diagnosed with, a Substance Use Disorder (Substance Abuse or Dependence), are especially encouraged to apply. Current SBIRT grantees are not eligible applicants. The Governor/highest ranking official will designate a lead official to be Project Director for the cooperative agreement. That individual may be, but is not required to be, part of the SSA. However, the services to be provided through this cooperative agreement program are to be integrated into the current system of care. Therefore, SAMHSA expects that the SSA will be involved in the project.
