Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Project: Grantee Data Technical Assistance (GDTA) Training Needs
Assessment Survey for SAMHSA Grantees-NEW
In 2014, the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality
(CBHSQ) funded the GDTA contract to provide training and technical
assistance to all grantees receiving funding from the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), the Center for Mental Health Services
(CMHS), and some grantees receiving funding from the Center for
Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) that fall under the GDTA contract.
This currently only includes discretionary grants but is expected to
include block grants in future years. Training and technical assistance
from the GDTA contract will focus on helping grantees use their
Government and Performance Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) data for
performance management and monitoring, and services improvement. The
information being collected in this needs assessment will inform CBHSQ
regarding the types of activities SAMHSA's grants use their funding for
and what types of training activities they would like to receive in the
future.
Description of Forms: Forms will include two questions. The first
question asks about the services provided under the grant. Answer
options include activities such as behavioral health care services,
screening, prevention activities, and services to specific populations.
The second question asks respondents to identify topics for training
and technical assistance they would like to receive from a pre-
populated list. Answer options include items such as data collection,
data entry, and using data in creative ways. Both questions have an
option for respondents to write-in an answer that is not included in
the list.
Description of Respondents: The respondent universe for this data
collection effort is one Project Director from each SAMHSA-funded
grants being served by the GDTA contract. This currently only includes
discretionary grants but is expected to include block grants in future
years. There are currently 2,670 SAMHSA-funded discretionary grants
served by the GDTA contract, therefore this is the number of
respondents expected for this data collection effort.
