Kansas Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Grant to Reduce Underage Drinking
The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS), Division of Strategic Development, announces the release of a Request for Applications (RFA) to develop community level strategic plans for the prevention and reduction of underage drinking through the Kansas Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Grant to Reduce Underage Drinking. Community partnerships are invited to compete for one of six to ten Planning Grants which will be awarded to communities which meet criteria based on high prevalence of underage drinking and contribution to statewide prevalence. Community partners must demonstrate capacity to engage in a comprehensive planning process to then implement identified strategies proven to impact underage drinking.
A two-phase application process will be used to determine grant awards. The first phase involves a Pre-application Packet through which prospective community partnerships will be screened based upon two factors: 1) underage drinking prevalence data as measured by use of alcohol in the past 30 days and binge drinking as both relate to the defined community’s overall population of youth in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12; and 2) the community’s readiness and capacity to commit to a comprehensive strategic planning process. After reviewing the Pre-application Packets, SRS will invite select community partnerships to participate in the second phase of the application process by submitting a full application.
Eligible applicants and fiscal agents represent community partnerships and may include eithr local units of government or not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organizations based in the targeted community. Regional Prevention Centers, their parent organizations, and state agencies are not eligible to serve as applicants or to act as fiscal agents. Community partnerships are considered for the purpose of this grant program as multi-disciplinary representatives of communities. Communities shall be defined locally and may be viewed as a community of place or geographically bound locations (e.g. neighborhoods, small towns or subdivisions), communities of administrative or geographic locations as defined by political or administrative factors (e.g., counties or school district boundaries), or multiple communities that are most effectively impacted if they work together (e.g., a rural multi-county partnership).
