[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 110 (Thursday, June 8, 1995)] [Notices] [Page 30311] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-13985] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Competitive Supplements for Integrated Children and Family Services AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), HHS. ACTION: Notice of availability of supplemental funds for certain programs of the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice informs the public that SAMHSA is making available approximately $2-3 million in Fiscal Year 1995 for up to 10 supplemental awards to existing grantees who have a minimum of 3 years of Federal grant support remaining as of September 1995, as reflected on the current Notice of Grant Award. Funds are being provided to support 3 year supplemental projects designed to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of integrated service delivery approaches for families with children from birth to 7 years of age, who are affected by alcohol, drug abuse and/or mental health disorders or who are at risk for such disorders. Eligibility is limited to grantees with 3 years remaining in the following SAMHSA programs in order to be able to evaluate the effects of funding such integrated approaches in a known, well-defined project where the various strengths and other grantee characteristics have already been generally identified. Thus, most of the variables affecting performance are known so that the direct effects of the supplemental funding can be better measured than would be possible in an untested environment. This control in supplementing a variety of different programs allows the maximum insight to be obtained with the limited resources available. The grantees will need to have 3 years remaining since we do not anticipate having measurable results to evaluate in a shorter period. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Statutory authority PHS Eligible program CFDA No. Act ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CMHS: Cooperative Agreements for 93.125 520A ACCESS--Demonstration Projects for Homeless Persons with Severe Mental Illness.
