About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration operates the Consolidated Knowledge Development and Application (KD&A) Program (CFDA 93.230) to fund substance abuse and mental health services research and knowledge transfer, with the most recent grant award dated September 30, 2007.
This program is no longer active. Award activity ceased in 2007, with only one grant issued that year. Prior to that, the program issued a single award in 2006 and two in 2005, following a period of much higher volume: 2003 saw 133 awards and 2002 saw 433 awards. The portfolio encompasses 1,287 total awards spanning from 1999 onward, with $444.8 million in combined federal dollars obligated.
The program funded applied research and service delivery improvement projects in substance abuse and mental health treatment settings. Recent awarded activities included targeted capacity expansion for substance abuse treatment serving specific populations (homeless individuals, women and children, ex-offenders, African American women, men who have sex with men, Native women); HIV/AIDS and substance abuse co-treatment programs; harm reduction outreach; buprenorphine treatment expansion in HIV clinical settings; and integrated recovery management models. Projects also addressed chronic homelessness among individuals with mental health and substance abuse disabilities. The program emphasized knowledge development grounded in actual service settings and dissemination of results through multiple channels to inform providers.
Funding was concentrated entirely under SAMHSA, which issued all 1,287 awards. The assistance type mix was predominantly Project Grants, comprising 1,204 awards (94 percent), with Block Grants making up the remaining 6 percent. Typical award magnitudes ranged from approximately $100 thousand for smaller Project Grants to $500 thousand for larger awards and Block Grants.
Representative recent awards include a Project Grant of $2.396 million (award date September 15, 2003) for knowledge development and dissemination; Block Grants of $497,159 for HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention and treatment (July 1, 2006) and $397,919 for transgender health and resource initiatives (September 30, 2007); and multiple targeted capacity expansion grants of approximately $400 thousand to $541 thousand in 2003 serving underserved populations.
No recent grant opportunities are posted. Organizations should not pursue funding under this program.
Objective and description
- Objective
To provide immediately usable knowledge to improve substance abuse and mental health services in crucial selected areas. SAMHSA's Knowledge Development and Application (KDA) program is aimed at answering important, practical questions and effectively transferring answers to those who need the information. The questions to be answered are not decided by the agency in isolation, but arise from consumers and their families, providers, State officials, constituency organizations, national advisory councils, services researchers, the Congress, HHS, and for substance abuse, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). The program emphasizes knowledge development and application, making sure that this knowledge is relevant and timely. KDA activities are undertaken in actual service settings rather than in artificially created and controlled settings. SAMHSA's KDA program is driven by the needs of the users/providers/systems administrators. SAMHSA announces specific KDA topics annually in the Federal Register. Dissemination of results through multiple channels, including the latest available technology, to inform service providers is an integral part of the KDA program.
