Abstract

This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is supporting administrative supplements (in scope of the parent award) up to $150,000 each for one-year to the ten PTTC Regional Centers, the PTTC Hispanic and Latino Center and the PTTC Tribal Affairs Center for a total funding amount of $1,800,000. These grant recipients were funded in FY 2018 under the PTTC Cooperative Agreements, funding announcement SP-19-001 and have a project end date of April 30, 2023. The supplemental funds will be used to: (1) Develop a Prevention Fellowship Program (PFP); (2) develop and sustain a well-trained and knowledgeable cadre of prevention professionals who understand and exemplify the principles and best practices of substance abuse prevention; and (3) prepare fellows to achieve certification from the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) Certified Prevention Specialist (CPS) exam. The PFP shall support internships for fellows in the following areas: Hands-on experience working in state agencies while supported by state agency mentors; virtual and in-person training in professional development and prevention; acquiring proficiency in appropriate core competencies in preparation for the CPS exam; developing management and leadership skills; and preparing for potential employment opportunities within the prevention field. This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only be provided to the twelve eligible PTTC Centers based on the receipt of a satisfactory application and associated budget that is approved by a review group.
