Special Conditions of Awards: Behavioral Health Differential Impact Statement (DIS)
Differential Impact Statement Guidance
SAMHSA requires that all grant recipients, or grantees, prepare the Differential Impact Statement (DIS) to help show differential rates of involvement across populations in their grant funded projects. The purpose is to ensure that underserved populations are included in SAMHSA-funded programs and improve the ability of services to meet the needs of these populations.
Resources
The following resources can be used as references and guidance when preparing the DIS for each grant program type: services, capacity-building, and training and technical assistance.
Content requirements and submission date(s) may be found in the Notice of Award (NOA). For grant specific or additional guidance, contact your Government Project Officer (GPO) identified within the Contracts section of the NOA.
