Project Title: National and Regional System for the Application of Prevention Technologies (NR-SAPT) Project Description: The goal of this project is to implement and manage the National and Regional System for the Application of Prevention Technologies (NR-SAPT) to provide targeted training and technical assistance (T/TA) for grantees of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), to implement all five steps and two cross-cutting principles of SAMHSA?s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and accountability systems for performance measurement and management. SAMHSA/CSAP grantees include: States, Jurisdictions and Federally-recognized Tribal entities supported under SAMHSA?s Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant Program and CSAP?s Programs of Regional and National Significance (PRNS) including, but not limited to: 42 Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) Program grantees; approximately 150 Minority/AIDS/HIV Prevention Initiative grantees; approximately 12 Methamphetamine Prevention Initiative grantees; and, 23 epidemiological work groups supported by SAMHSA in non-SPF SIG States. The focus of this procurement will be to develop, implement and manage a T/TA delivery system that balances core coordination and analytic capacity at the national level with service delivery capacity in each of the five designated regions of the National Prevention Network (NPN). The purpose of the national core of this system is to provide centralized direction, monitoring of service quality and responsiveness to clients, evaluation of service impacts, coordination and analytic capabilities. The national core will connect to five separate Regionally-based Expert Teams to establish a coordinated training and technical assistance system aimed at building the capacity of SAMHSA/CSAP grantees and the capabilities of the prevention workforce. The purpose of the Regionally-based Expert Teams is to conduct ongoing assessment of the T/TA needs of the SAMHSA/CSAP grantees located within each respective Region and deliver targeted and timely T/TA services to assist grantees in achieving their specific program objectives and benchmarks. Regionally-based expert teams will consist of staff, associates, and consultants who are currently established in their respective Regions and have existing professional T/TA relationships with those States, Jurisdictions, Tribal organizations and other relevant entities within the Region.
