Project: Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) 
Program, Cohorts IV and V--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) requests OMB 
approval to collect community outcomes data for the cross-site 
evaluation of the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant 
(SPF SIG) program, Cohorts IV and V. CSAP has previously funded two 
cross-site evaluations of the Strategic Prevention Framework State 
Incentive Grant (SPF SIG), one focused on Cohorts I and II and the 
other on Cohorts III, IV, and V. Collectively, these evaluations 
provide an important opportunity to inform the prevention field on 
current practices and their association with community- and state-level 
outcomes.
    Data are collected at the grantee, community, and participant 
levels. The collection of community outcomes data is the focus of the 
current request. The primary cross-site evaluation objective is to 
determine the impact of SPF SIG on building prevention capacity and 
infrastructure, and preventing the onset and reducing the progression 
of substance abuse, as measured by the SAMHSA National Outcome Measures 
(NOMs).
    The SPF SIG grant program is a major investment by the federal 
government to improve substance abuse prevention systems and enhance 
the quality of prevention programs, primarily through the 
implementation of the SPF process. The goal of this initiative is to 
provide states, jurisdictions, tribal entities, and the communities 
within them with the tools necessary to develop an effective prevention 
system with attention to the processes, directions, goals, 
expectations, and accountabilities necessary for functionality. SAMHSA/
CSAP needs to collect information over the course of the remaining 
grant period to monitor the progress of the SPF SIG initiative. CSAP 
will use the findings from the analysis of the community outcomes data 
in the cross-site evaluation to assess the impact of SPF activities on 
community-level outcomes.
