II. AWARD INFORMATION

1. AWARD AMOUNT

The NOFA will specify the expected award amount for each funding opportunity. Regardless of the amount specified, the actual award amount will depend on the availability of funds.

Awards for SAMHSA’s BPPI grants will be made in two phases:

Phase I - Phase I awards are expected to range from $150,000-$200,000 in total costs (direct and indirect) for a project period of up to 18 months.

Phase II - Phase II awards will range from $300,000-$500,000 per year in total costs (direct and indirect) for a project period of up to 3 years.

Proposed budgets cannot exceed the allowable amount as specified in the NOFA in any year of the proposed project. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting project goals and objectives, and timely submission of required data and reports.

2. FUNDING MECHANISM

The NOFA will indicate whether awards for each funding opportunity will be made as grants or cooperative agreements (see the Glossary in Appendix B for further explanation of these funding mechanisms). For cooperative agreements, the NOFA will describe the nature of Federal involvement in project performance and specify roles and responsibilities of grantees and Federal staff.
