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
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.
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 communityand 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

Project: Now Is the Time (NITT)—
Minority Fellowship Program (MFP)
Evaluation—New
SAMHSA is conducting a national
evaluation of the Now is the Time
(NITT) initiative, which includes
separate programs—the Minority
Fellowship Program—Youth (MFP–Y),
the Minority Fellowship Program—
Addiction Counselors (MFP–AC),
Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness
and Resilience in Education)—State
Educational Agency, and Healthy
Transitions. These programs are united
by their focus on capacity building,
system change, and workforce
development.
The NITT–MFP (Youth and Addiction
Counselors) programs, which are the
focus of this data collection, represent a
response to the fourth component of
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
President Obama’s NITT Initiative:
Increasing access to mental health/
behavioral health services. The purpose
of the NITT–MFP programs is to
improve behavioral health care
outcomes for underserved racially and
ethnically diverse populations by
increasing the number of culturally
competent master’s level behavioral
health professionals and addiction
counselors serving children,
adolescents, and populations in
transition to adulthood (ages 16–25) in
an effort to increase access to, and
quality of, behavioral health care for
these age groups. The NITT–MFP—
Youth program funded five grantees to
each support up to 48 master’s level
fellows per year committed to
addressing the behavioral health needs
of at risk children, adolescents, and
transition-age youth (ages 16–25). The
NITT–MFP—Addiction Counselors
program funded two grantees to each
support up to 30 master’s level fellows
per year in their final year of addiction
counseling university programs, with a
focus on providing culturally sensitive
addiction counseling to underserved
youth in the 16–25 age group.
The NITT–MFP evaluation is
designed to assess the level of success
of the grantees in meeting the programs’
goals and identify the factors that
contribute to differences among grantees
in levels of success. The evaluation
includes both process and outcome
evaluation components and will be
supported by the data collection efforts
described below. The information to be
E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2016 / Notices
collected is necessary to (a) assess the
effectiveness of the grantees’ program
recruitment strategies, (b) describe the
services that the programs offer, and (c)
assess whether NITT–MFP is meeting its
goal of increasing the skilled workforce
by increasing the number of behavioral
health providers and addiction
counselors providing services to
underserved children, adolescents, and
transition-age youth, particularly among
racially/ethnically diverse populations.
About 4 to 5 months after completion
of their fellowship, a subset of fellow
alumni will be asked to participate in
the NITT–MFP Fellow Interview. These
telephone interviews will collect
detailed qualitative information on
fellows’ experiences that are not
possible to collect in a survey. The
interview is timed to collect fellows’
impressions of their fellowship
experiences before too much time has
passed, as well as their initial labor
market outcomes. The information
collected will be used to assess the
NITT–MFP program factors associated
with employment and other postfellowship outcomes. The interviewees
will be asked to describe (1) their
program, how they learned about it, and
what led them to apply; (2) the effects
of the program on their interest in
working with at risk children,
adolescents, and transition age youth
from racially and ethnically diverse
backgrounds (and for MFP–AC fellows,
in the area of addiction counseling); (3)
whether the program improved their
understanding of and ability to provide
culturally competent services; (4)
whether they completed their
fellowship and the effects of the stipend
on their education and career; (5) their
current employment setting, and, if in
behavior health services, the
characteristics of their client
population; (6) the role that their
fellowship played in their job interests
and job search; and (7) their satisfaction
with the fellowship program and
assessment of its impact on their career
and professional activities. A maximum
of 66 fellow alumni are expected to
complete the NITT–MFP Fellow
Interview per year; respondents will
complete the telephone interview one
time.
