Call for Applications: 2010 Science and Service Awards
SAMHSA is seeking applications for its 2010 Science and Service Awards, a national program that recognizes community-based organizations and coalitions that have shown exemplary implementation of evidence-based mental health and substance abuse interventions.
Awards will be made in each of five categories:
- Substance abuse prevention
- Substance abuse prevention
- Mental health promotion
- Treatment of mental illness and recovery support services
- Co-occurring disorders.
To be eligible, an organization must have successfully implemented a recognized evidence-based intervention, such as those that are published in scientific literature or appear on a Federal or state registry of evidence-based interventions.
Both public sector (e.g., state, local, territorial, tribal) and private sector organizations (including community-based organizations and/or coalitions) are eligible to compete for these nonmonetary awards. Developers of an evidence-based intervention or their research collaborators, previous award winners, and Federal agencies are not eligible.
Applications must be emailed by April 9, 2010, to Dr. Michelle Duda, Science and Service Awards Coordinator, at duda@unc.edu. For those without access to email, the application must be postmarked by midnight on April 9, 2010, and mailed to Michelle Duda, Ph.D., FPG Child Development Institute, CB #8040 UNC Campus, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599-8040.
