- Notice Type: Intent to Sole Source Intended Awardee: The National Academy of Science Institute of Medicine / National Research Council 500 Fifth Street, NW, Keck 753 Washington, DC 20001 Ph: 202-334-1230 www.iom.edu/bcyf Title: Promoting Children's Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health Forum Solicitation#: 13-233-SOL-00529 Date: September 7, 2013 Notice of Intent: The Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award a contract to support SAMHSA's efforts to establish a Forum on Promoting Children's Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health (C-CAB Health Forum.) The Forum members and participants will engage in dialogue and discussion to connect the promotion, prevention, treatment, and implementation sciences with settings where children are seen and cared for, including primary health care, schools, preschools and child care, social service and child welfare, juvenile justice, family court, military, and community based organizations, and to create systems that are effective and affordable in addressing children's needs. The National Academies was mandated by Congress in 1997 and consist of four organizations with The Institute of Medicine (IOM) being one. IOM is an internationally recognized and trusted resource for independent, expert advice related to health and medicine. Their reputation for independence and ability to bring together leading experts, weigh the evidence, and produce reports that inform sound policies, makes them a unique source for this type of expert review and consensus building. The IOM is uniquely positioned to be able to not only identify relevant partners and stakeholders but also garner their participation in the proposed activities because of their existing structures and established reputation. Because of their routine and continuous on-going engagement with a variety of high level healthcare stakeholder, they are in a unique position to meet the needs of this contract. In accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(;), competition is being restricted because The National Academies, Institute of Medicine is the only reasonable source and no other supplies or service will satisfy agency requirements. Background: Research has demonstrated that almost half of Americans will meet one or more clinical criteria for mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) disorders sometime in their life, with the first onset usually in childhood or adolescence (Kessler et al., 2005.) Lifetime prevalence may be as high as 37 percent by age 16 (Costello at al., 2003.) Such disorders convey a tremendous personal burden to the affected individuals and their families, as well as social costs to the broader community. One study has indicated that the national expenditures on mental health and substance abuse treatment for children and adolescents alone are almost $12 billion annually (Ringel and Sturm, 2001.) Another source has estimated the annual aggregate economic costs of services, health, and loss of productivity due to mental health and substance abuse disorders for individuals' ages 0-24 to be at least $247 billion per year (Eisenberg & Neighbors, 2007.) The major findings of the National Research Council/Institute of Medicine report on the prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders (Prevention of MEB; NRC/IOM 2009) and the report on parenting and depression (NCR/IOM, 2009), clearly identify a larger number of effective programs that could make major improvements in the mental and behavioral health of our country. They also address the importance of building public health infrastructure that will support states, communities and the nation in addressing mental, emotional and behavioral health through systematic approaches that include use of prevention science to inform broad population based strategies. Such prevention and intervention systems inform programs, coupled with effective treatments and delivery of services, form a solid scientific foundation on which to design and build new models for promotion and prevention systems including those that address environmental risk /protective factors as well as opportunities for delivering these programs to families, in schools, the military or the workplace, and through the health care and child welfare systems to improve outcomes for children and their families. In May, 2011, the NRC/IOM's Board on Children, Youth, and Families (BCYF) convened a multidisciplinary, multi-sectored group of representatives from fields as diverse as pediatrics, child psychiatry, public health, maternal and child health, neuroscience and human behavior, adolescent health and medicine, substance abuse, health care policy, child welfare, health insurance, psychology, developmental pediatrics, childcare, and social science research, to discuss integrating children's MEB health services into primary care settings. This meeting provided participants an opportunity to discuss integrating treatment and prevention services in multiple settings that see children and families on a regular basis. The C-CAB Health Forum will build off this group of stakeholders and add representatives from education, and possibly juvenile justice and the military. BCYF will use the C-CAB Health Forum to build off the momentum of the Prevention of MEB and the Parenting and Depression Reports, as well as the May, 2011 meeting. The establishment of the C-CAB Health Forum at this time is a critical next step to identifying opportunities for effective implementation solutions that to link the science to settings with multi-sectored stakeholders in the field of children's cognitive, affective, and behavioral health and to advance the knowledge of mental health promotion. In addition to the important national-level impacts that we are hoping this Forum will achieve, the work will also support important SAMHSA initiatives and priorities - specifically those related to Strategic Initiative for Prevention including priority areas of underage drinking, tobacco use, suicide prevention, and work to support military families. Description: A major goal of the forum is to highlight and address gaps in the science of implementing programs and practices in the service of informing research, policy, and practice. One necessary component of addressing implementation science is knowledge utilization of the end user or decision maker, which can be at the local, state, or federal level. The Forum will address gaps in the science of implementation by convening a multi-sectoral group of representatives from academia, federal agencies, professional organizations, and philanthropy in an ongoing way. This group of forum members will decide on two workshop topics per year and work with the Academies staff to design the agendas and invite speakers and guests to participate. Workshops can be designed to engage the users of research from state and local agencies as well as intermediaries who translate research for legislators and service providers. Communications products such as one-page fact sheets, e-blasts, and online resources will be developed, and background papers will be commissioned for distribution at the workshops. Forum members will select the topics for the workshops, which are intended to inform future meetings of the forum. The Forum membership will consist of researchers and representatives of: federal and state agencies; health, social service, and education providers; community-based organizations; professional societies; foundations; and consumer interest groups. The objectives of the forum are to: • Develop a workable plan to move an agenda on promoting children's cognitive, affective, and behavioral health and implementation science forward, while keeping an eye on what is not getting enough attention in this field. • Identify and address gaps in implementation science. • Identify topics for workshops and communications products (implementation tools and measurement and/or program and systems implementation.) • Work across sectors and systems, including businesses to get evidence-based practices into settings where children and families are. Contractors possessing equal capabilities are encouraged to respond in writing no later than September 20th, 2013. All responses should provide at a minimum: 1. Cover Letter/Capabilities Statement illustrating organizations' technical capabilities and expertise, as it relates to the requirements presented in this notice. 2.
