Program (MFP). Since its move to
SAMHSA in 1992, the MFP has
continued to facilitate the entry of
minority graduate students and
psychiatric residents into mental health
careers and has increased the number of
psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and
social work professionals trained to
provide mental health and substance
abuse services to minority groups. Up
until FY 2007, grantees have been
limited to the American Nurses
Association (ANA), the American
Psychiatric Association (ApA), the
American Psychological Association
(APA), and the Council on Social Work
Education (CSWE). The MFP is
supported by funds from all three
SAMHSA centers, the Center for Mental
Health Services (CMHS), the Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT),
and the Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention (CSAP).
With input from SAMHSA staff, the
four pre-2007 grantee organizations, and
two advisory panels (of independent
experts in the MFP and/or culturally
competent behavioral health care, as
well as consumer and family
representatives), a logic model was
designed and a set of data collection
instruments have been developed for
this evaluation. SAMHSA will employ
information that is routinely collected
under existing program requirements
and also will be collecting additional
data that also are necessary for the
conduct of the evaluation. At the end of
each grant year, the grantee
organizations (the ANA, ApA, APA, and
CSWE) will document their activities,
accomplishments, and expenditures and
assessment measures for the most
recently completed fiscal year. In
addition, each grantee will maintain a
database with information on current
and former Fellows. None of the data
collection activities proposed for this
evaluation will be redundant with these
existing reporting requirements and data
sources. The evaluation plan includes
gathering information about the MFP
from persons with different experiences
and perspectives on the MFP.
Accordingly, SAMHSA proposes to
conduct the following new data
collection activities:
On-line (Internet-based) surveys:
1. Current SAMHSA MFP Fellows in
each of the four academic disciplines;
2. MFP Alumni who were in the four
programs during the time the program
was administered by SAMHSA; and
3. Current and former members of
Selection and Advisory Committees in
each of the four grantee programs.
Telephone Interviews:
1. Current and former SAMHSA MFP
Staff and other SAMHSA officials
involved in the MFP;
2. Current and former MFP Program
Directors or Senior Staff in each of the
four grantee programs; and
3. Staff in each of the grantee’s host
organizations (i.e. staff in the ANA,
APA, ApA, and CSWE).
The surveys and interview protocols
have been developed to include
questions relevant to each of the
respective stakeholder groups named
Responses
per
respondent
Number of
respondents
Surveys
above, with similar core questions asked
across all groups.
The resulting data will identify (1) the
historical context in which the MFP has
operated; (2) the processes and activities
established by SAMHSA and by the
grantees to implement the MFP; (3) the
perceptions about how well the
SAMHSA MFP is performing; and (4)
the ability of the program to achieve
particular goals under its purview.
Each new cohort of Fellows will
develop and support the following
goals:
1. Training/mentoring ethnic/racial
minority students and professionals in
mental health/substance abuse
treatment;
2. Increasing the number of ethnic/
racial minority professionals in mental
health/substance abuse treatment;
3. Increasing diversity in mental
health/substance abuse leadership;
4. Increasing professional
contributions in mental health/
substance abuse treatment for minority
populations;
5. Increasing institutional
involvement of ethnic/racial minority
professionals in the areas of mental
health and substance abuse treatment;
and
6. Increasing mental health and
substance abuse services to minority
communities.

surveys and interviews under the
evaluation plan for the MFP is as
