Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Targeted Areas of Need: The purpose of the Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants program is to expand and/or enhance the community's ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to a targeted, well-documented substance abuse treatment capacity problem and/or improve the quality and intensity of services. For example, a community might seek a Targeted Capacity Expansion Grant to add state-of-the-art treatment approaches or new services to address emerging trends or unmet needs (e.g., intensive case management, referral, and follow-up services to address related HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, and other primary health care needs of substance abusing clients). Applicants are encouraged to engage (coordinate with or subcontract) the skills of private, non-profit, and community-based organizations not eligible to apply on their own because they are not a State or local government entity. To encourage the substance abuse treatment system to become more responsive and bridge the gap between what is needed by individual States, localities, and/or tribal organizations, and what is known about effective treatments to meet those needs, SAMHSA/CSAT intends to fund projects in three categories in FY 2005: 1) treatment for selected native populations (American Indian/Alaska Native or Asian American/Pacific Islanders). To meet the disproportionate substance abuse treatment needs of certain native communities, this category specifically identifies American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders (AA/PI), including Native Hawaiians as native populations to receive expanded and/or enhanced treatment services under this program; 2) treatment focused on methamphetamine and other emerging drugs in adult, rural populations. This category allows funding for expanding and/or enhancing substance abuse treatment for adults in rural areas in need of treatment for use of methamphetamine and other emerging drugs, including abuse of prescription drugs such as Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and other opioid analgesics; 3) campus screening and brief intervention (SBI) to both combat underage drinking/substance use and promote innovative screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment of college and university students with or at high risk of substance use disorders. This category is designed to assist colleges and universities to initiate services or expand existing campus based medical services to include identification and intervention with persons with hazardous drinking and/or substance use disorders within the context of student healthcare.
