Project: Biannual Infrastructure
Development Measures for State
Adolescent Treatment Enhancement
and Dissemination (SAT–ED) and State
Youth Treatment Enhancement and
Dissemination (SYT–ED) Programs—
New
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment has developed a set of
infrastructure development measures in
which recipients of cooperative
agreements will report on various
benchmarks on a semi-annual basis. The
infrastructure development measures
are designed to collect information at
the state-level and site-level.
The infrastructure development
measures are based on the programmatic
requirements conveyed in TI–12–006,
Cooperative Agreements for State
Adolescent Treatment Enhancement
and Dissemination (SAT–ED) and TI–
13–014, Cooperative Agreements for
State Youth Treatment Enhancement
and Dissemination (SYT–ED).
The purpose of this program is to
provide funding to States/Territories/
Tribes to improve treatment for
adolescents and transitional age youth
through the development of a learning
laboratory with collaborating local
community-based treatment provider
sites. Through the shared experience
between the State/Territory/Tribe and
the local community-based treatment
provider sites, an evidence-based
practice (EBP) will be implemented,
youth and families will be provided
services, and a feedback loop will be
developed to enable the State/Territory/
Tribe and the sites to identify barriers
and test solutions through a services
component operating in real time. The
expected outcomes of these cooperative
agreements will include needed changes
to State/Territorial/Tribal policies and
procedures; development of financing
structures that work in the current
environment; and a blueprint for States/
Territories/Tribes and providers that
can be used throughout the State/
Territory/Tribe to widen the use of
effective substance use treatment EBPs.
Additionally, adolescents (ages 12 to
18), transitional age youth (ages 18 to
24), and their families/primary
caregivers who are provided services
through grant funds will inform the
process to improve systems issues.
Estimates for response burden were
calculated based on the methodology
(survey data collection) being used and
are based on previous experience
collecting similar data and results of the
pilot study. For emailed biannual
surveys, burden estimates of 12.0 hours
were used for Project Directors and/or
Program Managers and burden estimates
of 7.2 hours were used for other project
staff members. It is estimated that 13
Project Directors and/or Program
Managers and 26 other staff members
from Cohort 1 will respond to the
emailed survey biannually (i.e., twice
each year) for 3 years at an estimated
total burden of 2,059.2 hours for Cohort
1. It is estimated that 10 Project
Directors and/or Program Managers and
20 other staff members from Cohort 2
will respond to the emailed survey
biannually (i.e., twice each year) for 5
years at an estimated total burden of
2,640 hours for Cohort 2. It is estimated
that 12 Project Directors and/or Program
Managers and 24 other staff members
from Cohort 3 will respond to the
emailed survey biannually (i.e., twice
each year) for 5 years at an estimated
total burden of 3,168 hours for Cohort
2. The burden hours of Cohort 1 (2,059.2
hours), Cohort 2 (2,640 hours) and
Cohort 3 (3,168 hours) combined comes
to a total estimated burden for the
emailed biannual survey of 7,867.2
hours.

Project: Survey of Current and Alumni
SAMHSA Fellows of the Minority
Fellowship Program (MFP) (OMB No.
0930–0304)—Reinstatement
SAMHSA is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for the conduct of surveys of
current and Alumni MFP Fellows. This
survey would gather information about
current and Alumni MFP Fellows that
will help SAMHSA meet its
responsibilities under the Government
Performance and Results Modernization
Act for gathering, analyzing, and
interpreting information about
government-funded programs such as
the MFP.
In 1973, in response to a substantial
lack of ethnic and racial minorities in
the mental health professions, the
Center for Minority Health at the
National Institute of Mental Health
established the Minority Fellowship
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. The
MFP, in turn, offers sustained grants to
six national behavioral health
professional associations: The American
Association of Marriage and Family
Therapy, the American Nurses
Association, the American Psychiatric
Association, the American
Psychological Association, the Council
on Social Work Education, and, as of
August 2012, the National Board for
Certified Counselors and Affiliates.
Additional associations, such as the
International Certification and
Reciprocity Consortium and the
National Association for Alcoholism
and Drug Abuse Counselors, are
expected to join the program later this
year. Others may join in future years.
The MFP is supported by funds from
all three SAMHSA centers: The Center
for Mental Health Services (CMHS), the
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment,
and the Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention. SAMHSA’s CMHS has
funded the development of the MFP
surveys.
To assess the performance of the MFP,
SAMHSA is requesting OMB approval
for the conducting of a survey of current
and Alumni MFP Fellows. This survey
would gather information about current
and Alumni MFP Fellows that will help
SAMHSA meet its responsibilities
under the Government Performance and
Results Modernization Act for gathering,
analyzing, and interpreting information
about government-funded programs
such as the MFP.
This package requests approval of two
survey instruments (to be sent to
approximately 1.300 Current and
Alumni Fellows with an expected
response rate of 788 respondents). Two
online (Internet based) surveys (with the
option for a hard copy mailed through
the U.S. Postal Service) will be used
with the following stakeholders in the
MFP:
1. Current SAMHSA MFP Fellows
currently receiving support during their
doctoral-level training or psychiatric
residency will be asked about their
experiences in the MFP (from
recruitment into the program through
their participation in the various
activities provided by the Grantees).
2. MFP Alumni who participated in
the MFP during the time the program
was administered by SAMHSA will be

asked about their previous experiences
as Fellows in the MFP and also about
their subsequent involvement and
leadership in their professions.
None of the data collected in the
surveys will be redundant with any
existing reporting requirements or data
sources. Survey data will be obtained to
assess the following measures:
1. Completing the Fellowship
Program. Data on the completion of
MFP goals, median and average of time
to complete Fellowship goals, and the
number of mentors, total mentored
hours, and helpfulness of mentorship.
2. Employment of Past Fellows. Data
on the initial type of employment to
include employment in the substance
abuse or mental health field in the year
after completion of the MFP goals, type
of employment situation categories
(academia, clinical, etc., by private/
public organization), and focus of work
on underserved youth and elderly in
urban and/or rural settings.
3. Current Employment Position. Data
on current employment, including
employment in the substance abuse or
mental health field in the year after
completion of the MFP Fellowship
goals, type of employment situation
categories (academia, clinical, etc., by
private/public organization), and focus
of work on underserved youth and
elderly in urban and/or rural settings.
4. Improving Skills and Knowledge.
Data on the number of certifications and
licensures obtained by Fellows and
median and average number of
continuing education hours credited.
5. Number of Contributions to the
Field. Data on the number of
presentations at national meetings,
professional publications, and national,
state, or local honors or citations.
The total annual burden estimate for
conducting the surveys is shown below:
