New Grantee FAQs
Q. When do grantees get an official Notice of Grant Award?
A. The Notice of Grant Award will arrive via USPS from SAMHSA by September 29th. It will be addressed to the named Grantee (outside agent or non-profit coalition) point of contact identified in the application submitted in March 2010.
Q. How do grantees access grant dollars?
A. Grantees access their funding through the "Payment Management System" (PMS). Click here to see a training video on the PMS.
Q. We received a "Save the Date" about a New Grantee Training. When and where is the New Grantee Training?
A. The New Grantee Training is mandatory for all new grantees (Years 1, 6 and new Mentoring for FY 2010). This year it will take place on December 6-8, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt Washington, 1000 H Street, NW, Washington, DC. Funded coalitions should be prepared to send two individuals to this training. For those with new Mentoring grants, you will need to bring one person from the Mentor coalition and one from the Mentee community/coalition. Registration for the New Grantee Training will be posted in the coming weeks. Watch the DFC Website for more information.
Q. How do we register for the National Coalition Academy, which is mandatory for all Year 1 grantees?
A. Contact CADCA's National Coalition Institute at 800-54-CADCA, ext. 225. All questions about the National Coalition Academy should be directed to the same number. Year 1 coalitions are expected to attend this training (budget requirement was part of the DFC application process), which is comprised of three weeks spread out over the course of several months. Each coalition needs to commit two people for each of the three weeks. One person should be consistence over the three weeks. The second person can change based upon availability and the content being presented. We highly encourage coalitions to send volunteer leadership. The NCA offers information that can be generalized to many public health fields and would be beneficial to all types of coalition members.
Coalitions Not Funded During a Funding Cycle FAQs
Q. What if my Grantee/Coalition name does not appear on the website when new DFC grants are announced?
A. If the official applicant name supplied on the application submitted for FY2010 DFC funding does not appear on the website, it indicates that you did not receive a DFC grant this year. If you haven't already, you will receive a written letter indicating that you were not funded. This in no way affects a coalition's ability to apply for DFC funding in the future.
Q. When will the Summary Statement be sent that includes Peer Review score and comments?
A. It will be sent via USPS from SAMHSA around October 15, 2010. We encourage coalitions to review these Summary Statements and comments and work to improve their application if they were not funded this funding cycle. Feel free to contact SAMHSA for technical assistance related to the application (this information will be included in the letter you receive if you were not funded). Also, contact CADCA's National Coalition Institute Technical Assistance Manager for additional help (800-542-2322, ext. 240).
