Opportunity Information: Apply for SP 18 008
The Strategic Prevention Framework - Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grant (Funding Opportunity Number SP 18 008) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically its Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). Released on May 7, 2018, with an application deadline of July 6, 2018, this opportunity (CFDA 93.243) supports large-scale prevention efforts intended to reduce substance use and its consequences by strengthening how states, tribes, and communities plan, coordinate, and deliver prevention services.
The central priority of SPF-PFS in FY 2018 is underage drinking prevention for youth and young people ages 9 to 20. The program is structured to help applicants use prevention approaches that are guided by evidence and by local data, rather than relying on generic messaging or one-size-fits-all activities. While underage drinking is the required focus, the grant gives states and tribes flexibility to address up to two additional substance use prevention priorities if local data show those issues are significant. Examples noted in the opportunity include marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine use, and the additional priorities may apply to individuals age 9 and older. In practice, this means applicants are expected to identify the most pressing problems in their jurisdictions using credible indicators, then target prevention resources accordingly.
A defining feature of SPF-PFS is its emphasis on reaching populations that are most impacted by substance use and its harms, especially groups that experience disproportionate consequences. The grant is designed to build and extend cross-agency and community partnerships so prevention is not siloed within behavioral health systems. A major partnership pathway highlighted in the description is linking substance abuse prevention programming with departments of social services and the local providers they fund or coordinate. This is meant to create stronger, more consistent prevention touchpoints in places where families and youth already receive services and supports.
The program specifically points to priority populations connected to child and family systems, including children entering the foster care system, transitional youth, and the broader network of people who support individuals with substance use issues. That includes women, families, parents, caregivers, and young adults who may be directly affected by substance use in the home or community. By centering these groups, SPF-PFS aims to ensure prevention strategies are not only evidence-based but also appropriately targeted, culturally responsive, and delivered through channels that communities actually trust and use.
Overall, SPF-PFS is intended to prevent the onset of substance use, reduce the progression from early use to more serious use patterns, and lessen related behavioral health and social problems. Just as importantly, it is meant to strengthen prevention capacity and infrastructure at the state, tribal, and community levels, so that prevention planning, implementation, and partnerships remain sustainable beyond a single grant cycle. SAMHSA anticipated making 34 awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $2,260,000 per award. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification expected in the full notice, but the program description makes clear the primary applicants are states and tribes or entities working in that capacity to coordinate statewide or tribal prevention systems and partnerships.Apply for SP 18 008
