Fed Regist. 1999 Apr 22;64(77):19799.
This notice is to inform the public of a planned $1,100,000 cooperative agreement award to Policy Research, Inc., to support the National GAINS Center for People with Co-occurring Disorders in the Justice System. CSAT and CMHS will make this award if the application is recommended for approval by the initial review group and the CSAT and CMHS National Advisory Councils. This is not a formal request for applications; assistance will be provided only to Policy Research, Inc. The purpose of the award is to support developing knowledge, conducting analyses of state-of-the-art practices, and disseminating and transferring information related to treating and managing persons in the justice system who are dually diagnosed with substance abuse and mental disorders. The GAINS Center promotes effective solutions by gathering information, assessing what works, interpreting the facts, networking with key stakeholders, and stimulating change. Eligibility for this program is limited to Policy Research, Inc., a non-profit corporation which operates the National GAINS Center. The GAINS Center has been federally funded by SAMHSA through the National Institute of Corrections/Department of Justice. This resource center has established, on a national level, a locus for the collection and dissemination of information about effective mental health and substance abuse services for people with co-occurring disorders in the justice system. The Center gathers information designed to influence the range and scope of mental health and substance abuse services provided in the justice system, tailors these materials to the specific needs of localities, and provides technical assistance to help them plan, implement, and operate appropriate, cost-effective programs. SAMHSA, for administrative reasons, can no longer fund the Center in this fashion because the former funding mechanism is no longer available. Therefore, SAMHSA will fund the project directly to complete the originally approved term of 5 years. An award to Policy Research, Inc., will enable the GAINS Center to build upon prior work and current activities underway in its work plan. This conversion to direct SAMHSA (CSAT and CMHS) funding will permit several important projects to be completed.
本通知旨在告知公众，计划向政策研究公司授予一项110万美元的合作协议奖，以支持国家司法系统中共存障碍者增益中心。如果申请获得初步审查小组以及药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局（CSAT）与儿童和家庭管理局（CMHS）国家咨询委员会的推荐批准，CSAT和CMHS将授予该奖项。这并非正式的申请请求；仅会向政策研究公司提供资助。该奖项的目的是支持知识开发、对先进实践进行分析，以及传播和转让与治疗和管理司法系统中同时患有药物滥用和精神障碍的人员相关的信息。增益中心通过收集信息、评估有效措施、解读事实、与关键利益相关者建立联系以及推动变革来推广有效的解决方案。该项目的资助对象仅限于运营国家增益中心的非营利性公司政策研究公司。增益中心一直由药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局通过国家惩教研究所/司法部提供联邦资金。这个资源中心在国家层面上，为收集和传播有关司法系统中患有共病的人员有效的心理健康和药物滥用服务的信息设立了一个场所。该中心收集旨在影响司法系统中提供的心理健康和药物滥用服务的范围和规模的信息，根据各地的具体需求调整这些材料，并提供技术援助以帮助他们规划、实施和运营适当的、具有成本效益的项目。由于先前的资助机制不再可用，出于行政原因，药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局无法再以这种方式资助该中心。因此，药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局将直接资助该项目，以完成最初批准的5年期限。向政策研究公司授予奖项将使增益中心能够在其工作计划中基于先前的工作和当前正在开展的活动继续推进。这种向药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局（CSAT和CMHS）直接资助的转变将使几个重要项目得以完成。
