Overview
The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), Behavioral Health Services Commission, announces the release of a Request for Applications (RFA) for planning grant (Cohort V) that will allow eligible applicants to engage in a comprehensive community-based strategic plan that will result in community driven strategies to reduce underage drinking, youth marijuana use, health disparities, shared risk and protective factors to produce sustainable systems change.
- Behavioral health disparities pose a significant threat to the most vulnerable populations in our society. Whether manifesting themselves as elevated rates of substance misuse among American Indian/Alaska Natives, high rates of suicide among LGBTQ youth, or reduced access to prevention services among people living in rural areas, these disparities threaten the health and wellness of these populations and of our society as a whole. To overcome systemic barriers that may contribute to disparities, planners must be culturally competent. They must recognize and value cultural differences—such as those in the health beliefs, practices, and linguistic needs of diverse populations. They must develop and deliver prevention programs and practices in ways that ensure members of diverse cultural groups benefit from their efforts.
This Kansas Prevention Collaborative-Community Initiative (KPCCI) is intended to reduce underage drinking, youth marijuana use, health disparities, shared risk and protective factors, produce sustainable systems change, and prevent substance abuse in identified communities and enrich prevention efforts across the state through the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based strategies, culturally competent prevention strategies. Grantees will be supported by each of the Kansas Prevention Collaborative partners. You can find out more about each of these partners at https://kansaspreventioncollaborative.org/.
With the use of Substance Abuse Block Grant funds, the Kansas Prevention Collaborative has a primary objective to help communities plan, implement, and evaluate activities that prevent and treat substance abuse. Integration of other identified priority behavioral health areas is encouraged when possible to supplement substance abuse prevention. These funds are intended for the focus of primary prevention efforts directed at individuals not identified to be in need of treatment services.
This initiative will utilize the five steps of the SAMHSA Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) with focus on steps 1, 2, 3, and 5. The SPF is a community-based approach to substance abuse prevention that cuts across existing programs and systems. SPF executes a data-driven, five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build assets and resilience, and prevent problem behaviors across the life span. The SPF was initiated by SAMHSA and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). The five steps of the SPF are designed to help states and communities build prevention competencies and infrastructure necessary to implement and sustain effective prevention policies, practices, and programs. An outline of the five-step process of the Strategic Prevention Framework is provided in the link. A general overview of each step is presented below.
Visit https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/20190620-samhsa-strategic-prevention-framework-guide.pdf to learn more about the Strategic Prevention Framework.
Step 1: Assessment
- The purpose of this step is to understand local prevention needs based on a careful review of data gathered from a variety of sources. These data help planners to identify and prioritize the substance misuse problems present in their community; clarify the impact these problems have on community members; identify the specific factors that contribute to these problems; assess readiness; and determine the resources required to address those factors. Ultimately, a thorough and inclusive assessment process helps to ensure that substance misuse prevention efforts are appropriate and on target.
Step 2: Capacity Building
- In this step, local resources are built and mobilized and the community’s readiness to address priority substance misuse problems is determined. In Step 1, planners took stock of what was available in their communities. In Step 2, they ensure the readiness of the community to buy in to the prevention effort and take stock of the resources needed to tackle the problem and produce a positive change. A community needs both human and structural resources to establish and maintain a prevention system that can respond effectively to local problems. It also needs people who have the motivation and willingness—that is, the readiness—to commit local resources to addressing these problems.
Step 3: Strategic Planning
- Strategic planning increases the effectiveness of prevention efforts by ensuring that prevention planners select and implement the most appropriate programs and strategies for their communities. In an effective planning process, communities involve diverse stakeholders, replace guesswork and hunches with data driven decisions, and create comprehensive, evidence-based prevention plans to address their priority substance misuse problems.
Step 4: Implementation
- In this step, a community’s prevention plan is put into action by delivering evidence-based programs and practices as intended. To accomplish this task, planners will need to balance fidelity and adaptation, and establish critical implementation supports.
Step 5: Evaluation
- In the SPF, evaluation is about enhancing prevention practice. It is the systematic collection and analysis of information about prevention activities to reduce uncertainty, improve effectiveness, and facilitate decision-making.
The SPF is guided by two cross-cutting principles that should be integrated into each of the steps that comprise it:
- Sustainability – the capacity of a community to produce and maintain positive prevention outcomes over time. To maintain positive outcomes, communities will want to sustain an effective strategic planning process as well as those programs and practices that produced positive prevention results. Accomplishing these dual tasks requires the participation, resolve, and dedication of diverse community members and a lot of careful planning.
- Cultural competence – one of the SPF’s two guiding, cross-cutting principles and, as such, should be integrated into each step of the framework’s implementation. By considering culture at each step, planners can help to ensure that members of diverse population groups can actively participate in, feel comfortable with, and benefit from prevention practices.
I. Purpose
The KPCCI Planning Grant is intended to reduce underage drinking, youth marijuana use, health disparities, shared risk and protective factors, and produce sustainable systems change. Reduce and prevent substance abuse in identified communities and enrich prevention efforts across the state through the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based strategies, culturally competent prevention strategies. The grant is intended for primary prevention only.
Community coalitions that are awarded this grant, will be better prepared to apply for, and secure, other state and national resources to support the implementation and evaluation of their comprehensive plans and efforts to continue work with their communities. KDADS and the Kansas Prevention Collaborative will provide communities with support to make the best use of their efforts throughout the implementation phase.
Utilizing funding and technical assistance, community coalitions will analyze local data that is contributing to substance abuse within their identified geographic area. Resources and technical assistance will be provided to review local assessment profile, logic model, and action plan to address these issues using the five-step SPF process (i.e., assessment, capacity building, planning, implementation, and evaluation). This will also include reviewing plans for sustainability, cultural competence, and evaluation.
II. Eligibility
Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services invites applications from private, nonprofit and/or community organizations.
Eligible applicants and their fiscal agents must be an existing community coalition or task force for at least the past six months and may include local government agencies, schools, public universities and colleges, private and/or or not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organizations based in the targeted community. Community coalitions shall be defined as a multiple sector partnership, mobilized at the local level to make their communities safer, healthier, and drug-free. Effective community coalitions must possess a stable and effective organizational structure with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and may include multiple geographic areas or school district boundaries that are efficiently and effectively able to work together (e.g., a rural, multi-county partnership).
Existing Community Defined:
- An established coalition that is already formed and can prove they have existed at least 6 months prior to the RFA release date. We asked that documentation be submitted to demonstrate that you are an existing coalition, providing minutes, names of members, meetings and general functionable activities in place or plans in place for other work, etc. (Only send a copy of minutes for one month prior to December 2020)
- No group can be developed prior to the RFA by collaborating with others to meet the guidelines for the RFA, where no established work has not been done as a coalition earlier than 6 months.
III. Outcomes/Goal(s)
To reduce underage drinking, youth marijuana use, shared risk and protective factors, produce sustainable systems change, and prevent substance abuse in identified communities and enrich prevention efforts across the state through the implementation and sustainability of evidence-based strategies, culturally competent prevention strategies through the implementation and sustainability of effective, culturally competent and diverse prevention strategies. Implementation grantees will demonstrate progress made toward community assessment and readiness, building capacity, addressing cultural competency, by developing a solid coalition infrastructure to create a comprehensive strategic plan that will make positive change in their community. This will be done by utilizing the Strategic Prevention Framework model. Emphasis will be placed on steps one, two, three and five as planning grantees will not be implementing strategies during this grant phase but preparing for the implementation process.
- Planning recipients are expected to implement some strategies (separate and different from those strategies in Stage 4 Implementation of the SPF). During the planning stage, recipients will increase their capacity/raise community readiness and all other prominent steps leading up to a successful transition to the implementation phase. Recipients will receive guidance, training and technical assistance from a DCCCA specialist, and additional support from the KPC team. The following 4 out of 5 steps are listed below that will utilize in the planning phase (Step 4–not included). As stated above these steps can be viewed in their entirety by accessing the provided link.
IV. Terms of the Grant
The award is for a 12-month planning year. Grantees successfully completing the planning grant year will be eligible for implementation grant funds, based on performance, budget, and compliance. The awarded planning grantees will enter a binding legal agreement between the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services and the awarded recipient. The agreement requires the awarded grantee to comply with specific grant criteria, which includes mandatory trainings, weekly reporting, quarterly reports, monthly fiscal reports, and data collection. Should a community coalition not meet these requirements, they will be placed on high-risk status which could delay expense reimbursement, and/or affect future funding opportunities provided by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services.
Transitioning from Planning Grantee to Implementation Grantee
Over the course of the year planning coalitions work will be accessed by the KPC team monthly ensuring that work is being met. Coalitions who are meeting their goals and have met the expectations with approval from the KPC and final decision will be informed that they will proceed to move into year 1 for implementation. The awarded Implementation grantees will enter a binding legal agreement between the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services and the awarded recipient. The agreement requires the awarded grantee to comply with specific grant criteria, which includes mandatory trainings, weekly reporting, quarterly reports, monthly fiscal reports, and data collection.
Note: Additional coalition-specific training and technical assistance events, virtually or on site, may be scheduled in coordination with individual coalitions to select ideal dates, times, and locations.
Deliverables and Reporting
- Community coalitions will be required to collect and report relevant National Outcome Measures (NOMs) which is data required for the state to report to the Federal Government.
- NOMs–The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has identified ten domains for National Outcome Measures (NOMs). The domains embody meaningful, real-life outcomes for people who are striving to attain and sustain recovery, build resilience, and work, learn, live, and participate fully in their communities. The NOMs matrix represents the beginning of a state-level reporting system that, in turn, will create an accurate and current national picture of substance-abuse and mental-health services.
- To assist the state’s compliance with federal and community level evaluation requirements, grantees will participate in the Kansas Communities That Care (KCTC) Student Survey and achieve a 60% participation rate.
- Community coalitions will be expected to assess school district(s) in the area to be served as to whether there is an agreed upon plan for administration of the KCTC Student Survey. If not, the Community coalition will work with the KPC to develop an Action Plan to increase participation.
- Community coalitions will participate in evaluation and sense making, as directed, through documentation in the Community Check Box which will be submitted weekly on Fridays at the end of business or 5:00 p.m.
- CCB documentation – The community check box is a tool for coalitions to document their activities they are doing in the community. Upon receiving ongoing training in the CCB where coalitions will learn how to document, it will be expected each week that coalitions are documenting their community activities-where this is reviewed by the KPC to ensure documentation is being entered in the CCB.
- Identifying population with BH Disparities – Coalitions will use data to identify additional gaps of at least one ‘at risk’ population within their community and implement prevention strategies to reduce risk among the identified at risk population taking into account diversity and health disparities with the intended goal to take a deeper dive into identifying populations of other diversities and ethnic backgrounds.
- Community coalitions will be required to submit quarterly reports and monthly budget reports as specified in the Notification of Award.
- Designated coalition members must demonstrate an ability to participate in all required training and technical assistance provided by the Kansas Prevention Collaborative. Training may be offered virtually or face to face. Funds may be used to assist with travel to and from these events. (see section IV)

Although all five steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework will be implemented, grantees will not be expected to place emphasis on Step Four: Implementation during the planning process.
Community Coalitions will be required to engage in a multidisciplinary partnership committed to collaboratively work through each of the five steps of the SPF process identified community. To ensure diverse representation within SPF community coalitions, KDADS has elected to align the SPF award process with the 12-key community sectors required through the national Drug-Free Communities Support Program. This approach ensures the involvement of representatives from key community organizations and institutions who provide varying perspectives and interests in substance abuse prevention and related consequences.
Alignment with federal grant program requirements prepare Kansas communities to obtain additional resources to support and sustain local efforts. The 12 sector representatives required as member participants in each community coalition funded through the KPC are provided in Figure 2.

Community Plan
Each community will submit a comprehensive plan to address targeted substance use, shared risk and protective factors, diversity, and health disparities which includes a broad array of prevention strategies directed at individuals not identified to be in need of treatment.
Each community’s plan will be required to contain at a minimum the following components: All of the components below are important, however as recipients move through phase 2 each step will be assessed, reviewed by your DCCCA specialist and supported by the KPC team ensuring each step is met with the goal to move to the next step before the implementation year 2 phase. The 8 components are in alignment of what you recipients are expected to fulfill in their deliverables:
- Demographics
- Staffing patterns/organizing structures
- Logic model to address underage drinking and/or youth marijuana use, health disparities, low perceived risk of harm from substance use, and other prioritized risk/protective factors
- Action plans for evidence-based strategies
- Cultural competency assessment and integration into action plan
- Evaluation plan
- Capacity development plan
- Sustainability plan
Upon successful completion of this Planning Grant, grantees will then be eligible for a continuation award contingent upon budget, compliance and performance. Continued funding will allow communities to continue execute strategies identified in their plans and evaluate outcomes.
VI. Notification of Grant Awards
