The purpose of this program is to help reduce the onset and progression of substance misuse and its related problems by supporting the development and delivery of community-based substance misuse prevention and mental health promotion services. The program is intended to expand and strengthen the capacity of local community prevention providers to implement evidence-based prevention programs.
The SPF-PFS program is grounded in the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a community engagement model grounded in public health principles, including being data-driven and focused on providing evidence-based services to underserved communities. The SPF process includes five steps (assessment, capacity, planning, implementation, and evaluation) and two guiding principles (cultural competence and sustainability). This process offers prevention planners a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing the substance misuse and related behavioral health problems facing their communities.
This NOFO will remain open for three fiscal years.
