Opportunity Information: Apply for SP 23 004
The Strategic Prevention Framework - Partnerships for Success for Communities, Local Governments, Universities, Colleges, and Tribes/Tribal Organizations is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It is designed to help communities prevent substance misuse before it starts, slow or stop escalation when early risk is present, and reduce related harms by investing in locally driven prevention services and mental health promotion activities. The core focus is on building and expanding the capacity of community prevention providers so they can plan, implement, and sustain evidence-based prevention programs that fit local needs and conditions.
This opportunity is centered on community-based prevention, meaning applicants are expected to work close to where problems show up and where protective factors can be strengthened: neighborhoods, schools, campuses, local service systems, and tribal communities. The grant supports efforts that promote mental health and prevent substance misuse through structured prevention strategies rather than treatment services. In practical terms, this typically means strengthening prevention infrastructure (such as community coalitions and prevention providers), improving local planning and coordination, selecting interventions with evidence behind them, and delivering those interventions with enough quality and consistency to produce measurable outcomes.
The funding opportunity number is SP 23 004, and it is listed under CFDA 93.243 in the Health activity category. The award ceiling is $375,000 per award, and SAMHSA anticipates making about 44 awards under this announcement. Funding is provided through a grant instrument, and the program is intended for a range of applicants identified broadly as eligible entities, including communities, local governments, universities and colleges, and tribes or tribal organizations (with the official eligibility details referenced in the notice under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section).
A key feature of this notice of funding opportunity is that it stays open across three federal fiscal years, giving organizations multiple chances to apply. Application deadlines are tied to each fiscal year: June 5, 2023 for FY 2023; June 5, 2024 for FY 2024; and June 5, 2025 for FY 2025. Applications submitted by the relevant due date are reviewed within that fiscal year, with funding decisions expected by the end of the fiscal year. If an applicant does not receive an award in one year, they are allowed to apply again in the next fiscal year while the notice remains open. The opportunity was created on April 3, 2023, and the original closing date listed is June 5, 2025, aligning with the final year deadline.
Overall, this program is best understood as prevention capacity-building plus delivery of proven prevention approaches. It aims to strengthen local prevention systems so that communities can more effectively reduce risk factors, increase protective factors, and implement strategies that have demonstrated impact on substance misuse prevention and mental health promotion outcomes.Apply for SP 23 004
