General Applicant Information.docx

This is a general applicant information template for the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program grant application. The document requires applicants to provide detailed information across three primary sections: Key Personnel, Statutory Requirements, and Coalition and Community Information. Key Personnel section mandates contact information for the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR), Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI), and Project Coordinator, including name, title, address, phone, and email for each position. The Statutory Requirements section requires applicants to submit the coalition's mission statement focused on youth substance use prevention and reduction, along with identification of specific substances being addressed in the application.

The Coalition and Community Information section requires applicants to document the coalition's establishment date, all ZIP codes served (verified through USPS.com), and whether service areas overlap with other Drug-Free Communities-funded coalitions, requiring a Letter of Mutual Cooperation if overlap exists. Additionally, applicants must provide the population size and median income of the community served, identify whether the coalition serves a federally recognized tribal area, and confirm tribal representation from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Service, or a tribal government agency if applicable. The template also requires documentation of SAM registration date, with explicit notification that failure to maintain active SAM registration renders the application ineligible. This application supports the FY 2026 DFC Support Program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which provides grants to community coalitions working to prevent substance abuse among youth aged 18 and younger through collaborative, evidence-based prevention strategies.
