- Description
- The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services contemplates awarding five separate one year cost reimbursement contracts with each contract having four option years. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is interested in highly experienced organizations for the five regional Centers for the Application for Prevention Technologies or CAPTs. The CAPTs are SAMHSA/CSAP’s primary knowledge application and capacity expansion program supporting CSAP’s mission to bring effective substance abuse prevention to every community. As such, the CAPTs form the cornerstone of CSAP’s efforts to move science into services. Under the guidance of CSAP, the CAPTs work to expand the capacity of the substance abuse prevention field through the application of effective evidence/science-based programs, practices, and policies within every State prevention service system and community. To accomplish this, the CAPTs provide their clients with timely and effective technical assistance, training, dissemination, and communication services that increase the transfer and application of substance abuse prevention knowledge and skills. The overall CAPT program goals are to: 1) Serve as one of SAMHSA/CSAP’s major resource for expanding capacity, increasing effectiveness, and strengthening the performance accountability of substance abuse prevention services at both the State and community levels. 2) Disseminate effective evidence/science-based substance abuse prevention programs, practices, and policies so that they can be applied successfully within the diverse contexts of life within U.S. communities, States, Tribes, and other US Jurisdictions. 3) Provide effective technical assistance and training that expand the capacity of States and communities to implement effective substance abuse prevention services. Such training and technical assistance is coordinated with the ongoing work of SAMHSA’s other dissemination efforts. Furthermore the CAPT’s are to: 1. Provide state of the art substance abuse prevention training and technical assistance to States to build infrastructure and community capacity to adapt and implement effective substance abuse prevention programs. 2. Provide services in accord with the program policies of SAMHSA/CSAP. 3. Inform the Project Officers of any publication based on the contract project. Additionally, the offeror must also ensure consistency with relevant CSAP and SAMHSA editorial guidelines and policies (e.g., use of logos, text, format, and related production qualities) before disseminating any CAPT product. It must also comply with Title IV, Sec. 711 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that applies when developing promotional public service announcements. 4. The CAPTs have collaborated to establish a cross-CAPT evaluation plan assuring comparability of data and reporting. There are five Web-enabled databases: Event, Systemic Outcomes, Technical Assistance (TA), Products, and Success Stories. Each CAPT is expected to help shape and maintain these databases. The databases are accessed via the national CAPTUS website. 5. Provide information needed by SAMHSA to comply with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) reporting requirements. GPRA mandates accountability and performance-based management by Federal agencies, focusing on results or outcomes in evaluating the effectiveness of Federal activities and on measuring progress toward achieving national goals and objectives. The offerors must comply with GPRA data collection and reporting requirements. A description of the CAPTs’ evaluation procedures and measures (including those pending as GPRA and performance measures) will be presented in the RFP. The final CAPT GPRA and performance measures for the program have not yet been determined, and SAMHSA will be working with the offerors to finalize them and obtain necessary clearances once the contract awards have been made. 6. Provide the following types of reports. · Quarterly progress reports · Annual progress and fiscal reports · Final summary report at the end of the third year cycle. · Periodic delivery of electronic copies of contact and service data to the contractor providing data coordination of the cross-CAPT databases. Additional reports may be required on special projects and activities (e.g., collaborative services delivered with supplemental funding by another Federal agency partnering with SAMHSA in this program). 7.The offeror must have existing knowledge and experience working with states to support capacity development activities. 8.The offeror must have a working knowledge of CSAP and SAMHSA policy and programmatic initiatives. 9. The offeror must be located within the region they would serve and have been providing technical assistance and training for a minimum of two years in order to show they have established relationships with States and communities.
