Key Dates:

Ecstasy and Other Club Drugs are substances whose use can lead to serious health and behavioral problems, including memory loss, aggression, violence, psychotic behavior, and potential heart and/or neurological damage. Their use also contributes to increased transmission of infectious diseases, especially hepatitis and HIV/AIDS. Use is increasing among the general adolescent population as well as the following populations: men who have sex with men and use other drugs; young adults who attend “raves” or private clubs; homeless and runaway youth; and male and female commercial sex workers.

Eligible applicants are States, Territories, the District of Columbia, and Native American Tribal Governments. Eligibility is limited to these entities for two reasons: 1) to facilitate State and community planning and coordination, and assure that program infrastructure development and selection of ecstasy and other club drug service models are consistent with the State/Territory Strategic Prevention Framework for substance abuse prevention, and 2) to enhance program sustainability.

Although eligibility is limited to these governmental entities, these governmental entities must partner with local community organizations (public or private) in developing and implementing the grant project. Eligible applicants may submit more than one application, but only one community may be targeted in each application. States, tribes, and territories may retain up to 10% per year of the total grant award for costs associated with the administration and management of each grant submitted. At least 90% of the total grant award each year must be allocated to the community partner for implementation of services/infrastructure development at the community level.

It is expected that $4.5 million will be available to fund up to 15 Ecstasy and Other Club Drug Prevention Services awards in FY 2004. The awards will be up to $300,000 in total costs (direct and indirect) per year. The actual amount available for the awards may vary, depending on unanticipated program requirements and the number and quality of the applications received.

Awards will be made for project periods of up to five years. Proposed budgets cannot exceed $300,000 in any year of the proposed project. Annual continuations will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting program goals and objectives, and timely submission of required data and reports. Applicants proposing an infrastructure development phase in year one must have their service implementation plan approved before service delivery may begin.

Cost Sharing is not required in this program, and applications will not be screened out on the basis of cost sharing. However, you may include cash or in-kind contributions in your proposal as evidence of commitment to the proposed project.
