The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA),
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) announces the availability
of FY 2010 funds for grants to deliver peer-to-peer recovery support
services that help prevent relapse and promote sustained recovery from
alcohol and drug use disorders.  Successful applicants will provide
peer-to-peer recovery support services that are responsive to community
needs and strengths, and will carry out a performance assessment of
these services. 

RCSP is intended to support peer leaders from the recovery community in
providing recovery support services to people in recovery and their
family members, and to foster the growth of communities of recovery that
will help individuals and families, achieve and sustain long-term
recovery. 

Eligibility 

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities.
For example, State and local governments, federally recognized American
Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian
organizations, public or private universities and colleges; and
community- and faith-based organizations may apply. Tribal organization
means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe; any legally established
organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled,
sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is
democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to
be served by such organization and which includes the maximum
participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its
activities.  Consortia of tribal organizations are eligible to apply,
but each participating entity must indicate its approval.  The statutory
authority for this program prohibits grants to for-profit agencies.

All applicants, including single organizations and consortia, must
clearly indicate in their project narrative (in Section A: Statement of
Need) as well as in the RCO/FO Designation and Statement of Assurance in
Appendix J of this RFA whether they are applying for a grant as a
Recovery Community Organization (RCO) or Facilitating Organization (FO).
All applicants must make this designation in order for the application
to be reviewed and considered for an award.  

RCSP grantees from the FY 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004, and the 2006 cohorts
(whose current awards are ending September 29, 2010) may apply for this
program.  RCSP grantees from the 2007 cohort are not eligible to apply.
