Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-0361.

Proposed Project: New: The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention Online Reporting Tool and Grant Programmatic Progress Report to replace Division of State Programs—Management Reporting Tool (DSP-MRT) (OMB No. 0930-0354).

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to monitor CSAP discretionary grant programs through administration of a suite of data collection instruments for grant compliance and programmatic performance monitoring.

This package describes the data collection activities and proposed instruments. Grant compliance monitoring will be conducted via a single data collection instrument to be completed by all CSAP discretionary grant recipients. Programmatic performance monitoring will be conducted via a suite of data collection instruments with each instrument tailored to a specific CSAP discretionary program. This request for data collection will replace OMB No. 0930-0354: Division of State Programs—Management Reporting Tool.

CSAP intends to monitor six grant programs through this data collection effort:

• Strategic Prevention Framework—Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS): The purpose of the SPF-PFS program is to help reduce the onset and progression of substance misuse and its related problems by supporting the development and delivery of state and community substance misuse prevention and mental health promotion services. This program is intended to promote substance use prevention throughout a state jurisdiction for individuals and families by building and expanding the capacity of local community prevention providers to implement evidence-based programs. In addition, the program is intended to expand and strengthen the capacity of local community prevention providers to implement evidence-based prevention programs. With this program, SAMHSA aims to strengthen state and community level prevention capacity to identify and address local substance use prevention concerns, such as underage drinking, marijuana, tobacco, electronic cigarettes, opioids, methamphetamine, and heroin.
• Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking (STOP Act): The purpose of this program is to prevent and reduce alcohol use among youth and young adults ages 12-20 in communities throughout the United States through evidence-based screening, programs and curricula, brief intervention strategies, consistent policy enforcement, and environmental changes that limit underage access to alcohol as authorized by 42 U.S.C. 290bb-25b. The program aims to: (1) address norms regarding alcohol use by youth, (2) reduce opportunities for underage drinking, (3) create changes in underage drinking enforcement efforts, (4) address penalties for underage use, and/or (5) reduce negative consequences associated with underage drinking.
• Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (SPF Rx): The purpose of the SPF Rx grant program is to provide resources to help prevent and address prescription drug misuse within a State or locality. The program is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of sharing medications as well as the risks of fake or counterfeit pills purchased over social media or other unknown sources, and work with pharmaceutical and medical communities on the risks of overprescribing. Whether addressed at the state level or by an informed community-based organization, the SPF Rx program will raise community awareness and bring prescription substance misuse prevention activities and education to schools, communities, parents, prescribers, and their patients. In addition, grant recipients will be required to track reductions in opioid related overdoses and incorporate relevant prescription and overdose data into strategic planning and future programming.
• First Responders-Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (FR CARA): The purpose of this program is to allow first responders and members of other key community sectors to administer a drug or device approved or cleared under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose.
• Grants to Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths (PDO): The purpose of this program is to support first responders and members of other key community sectors to administer a drug or device approved or cleared under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) for emergency reversal of known or suspected opioid overdose. Recipients will train and provide resources to first responders and members of other key community sectors at the state, tribal, and local levels on carrying and administering a drug or device approved or cleared under the FD&C Act for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose.
• Improving Access to Overdose Treatment (ODTA): The purpose of this program is to expand access to naloxone and other Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved overdose reversal medications for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. The recipients will collaborate with other prescribers at the community level to implement trainings on policies, procedures, and models of care for prescribing, co-prescribing, and expanding access to naloxone and other FDA-approved overdose reversal medications to the specified population of focus ( i.e., rural or urban). With this program SAMHSA aims to expand access to naloxone and other FDA approved overdose reversal medications for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose.

Grant compliance monitoring: All SAMHSA awards require grantees to submit performance and progress reports through the electronic Research Administration (eRA) Commons, an end-to-end Grants Management system. The frequency and program-specific instructions for preparation and submission of these reports are identified in the terms and conditions found in the Notice of Award. CSAP discretionary grant compliance monitoring will be conducted through the submission of the Programmatic Progress Report (PPR). The PPR contains fields for grantees to enter information on activities and accomplishments that occurred during the reporting period based on identified goals and objectives. It also contains fields for grantees to share evaluation updates and outcomes as well as planned activities for the upcoming reporting period as well as any challenges that grantees have experienced.

The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention Online Reporting Tool (CORT) is comprised of two components. The first provides fields for grantees to enter annual goals for key programmatic measures. The second provides fields for reporting quarterly progress toward achieving these goals. CSAP intends to have grantees report progress on a quarterly basis to allow for consistent, periodic analyses which will allow for the administration of technical assistance supports when grantees are falling behind in achieving these goals. Quarterly reporting will also allow the Center to review the overall progress of grant programs. Program specific instruments have been developed to ensure optimal alignment with individual grant requirements. These instruments were developed based on instruments approved in OMB 0930-0391: Harm Reduction Grant Program Annual Targets and Quarterly Progress Reports.
