2010 DFC Request for Applications Workshops
Native American/American Indian Support Workshops have just been added to
the Salt Lake City and National Harbor sites. For more information, scroll
down.
The Drug Free Communities Support Program will host a Request for Applications
(RFA) Workshops for the 2010 grant cycle. The workshops are OPTIONAL and attendance
is not required in order to submit an application. There is no registration
fee for the RFA workshops, but participants are responsible for travel, accommodation
and food costs for the RFA workshops. All workshops will begin with
registration at 8am. The workshop content will begin at 8:30am. We will complete
all workshops by 1pm. If you are attending the Native American/American Indian
Support Sessions in National Harbor (Washington, DC), those workshops will
begin at 2pm and end at 4pm.
Registration Site:
Coalitions interested in attending
one of the workshops must register at https://www.cmpinc.net/dfc/registration.html. Please
do so as soon as possible to ensure a slot for your coalition.
Friday, February 12, 2010: National Harbor, MD*
Hotel/Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
Address: 201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD
Phone: 301-965-2000
*Held in conjunction with CADCA's National Leadership Forum, but you must
register separately for this workshop.
Before coming to the RFA workshop, please read and re-read the
RFA and be prepared to receive technical assistance on the RFA ONLY.
In addition to the "live" workshops listed above, ONDCP and SAMHSA
had provided a replay
of the workshop to view. In order to be sensitive to the travel
costs, as well as restrictions on travel that many are experiencing at the
time, coalitions can access the workshop online. The only part of the "live" workshops
that will not be available online are the "famous" index card question
and answer sessions. This is where participants are able to write their
questions and have them answered by the ONDCP and SAMHSA staff on-site.
We are estimating that 150 grants will be awarded in the 2010 cohort of DFC
grants. This includes both Year 1 and Year 6 grants combined.
If you are currently (FY2009) a Year 5 grantee, you MUST complete a
competitive application for FY2010 in order to be considered for the 2010 funding
cycle. Those competing for the first time (Year 1) and those
competing for Year 6 compete on equal ground and no precedence is given to
those who have completed a grant cycle already.
Within the RFA, you will find technical assistance contacts at SAMHSA. Please
use those contacts once the RFA is published to ask questions related to its
content. If you need technical assistance related to coalition functioning
and/or the Strategic Prevention Framework, please contact Kristy Miller at
CADCA's National Coalition Institute at 800-542-2322, ext. 240.
ONDCP wishes you great luck in applying for the 2010 RFA! |
