SE Study Instruments
Biannual Program Inventory—SE: The
BPI–SE is a Web-based survey that
captures the infrastructure development
and direct services that are part of the
SE programs. Data include the types of
planning that SE grantees and local
implementation sites are implementing
and activities and infrastructure
developed as part of the project. The BPI
is administered twice yearly (April and
October) over the grant period and will
be completed by SE grantee program
staff.
Scalability/Sustainability Assessment
(SSA) KIIs: The SSA KIIs will be
conducted with various stakeholders to
assess local SE program resources,
infrastructure, outcomes, sustainability,
and scalability from stakeholders. Data
include changes in outcomes, workforce
development, State-level collaboration,
partnerships and policies, and
scalability and sustainability. There are
two versions of the SSA KIIs—each is
tailored to the intended audience: (1)
State-level administrator (project
directors, agency directors, SECC
members) and (2) local, pilot-level
service provider (local service provider).
The SSA KIIs will be conducted
remotely by telephone and/or Skype
technology in years two and four of the
evaluation with five stakeholders from
each SE grantee. The KIIs cover the
same information across years; however,
Year four KIIs will follow up on how the
infrastructure and activities taking place
in Year two come to fruition.
Employment Needs Focus Groups
(FGs): The employment needs FGs will
be conducted to gather information
about the needs and experiences of
employment specialists, consumers, and
employers as they relate to supported
employment principles and program
goals. Data include local program
implementation, the adoption of
policies and practices for sustainability
and scalability, and recommendations
for program improvement and
implementation best practices.
Employment Needs FGs will be
conducted with employment specialists
and employers (who have and have not
participated in the program) virtually
using a Web-based platform (such as
JoinMe) in years two and four of grant
funding. Specific topics are tailored to
respondent type.
D Employment specialists will discuss
training received and techniques used to
engage employers, the needs and
experiences of clients and employers,
facilitators and barriers to program
implementation, and program
scalability and sustainability. The
employment specialist FG will take 90
minutes.
D Employers (e.g., hiring managers,
supervisors) will discuss experiences
and satisfaction with the program,
factors that facilitate and pose barriers
to their participation, and program
scalability and sustainability. The
employer FG will take 60 minutes.
The estimated response burden to
collect this information associated with
the CSE is as follows, annualized over
the requested three-year clearance
period, as presented below:

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

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
