Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) announces the
availability of funds for alcohol and substance abuse prevention services to
serve youth within the five boroughs of New York City (NYC). Alcohol and
substance abuse prevention services in NYC, currently funded by OASAS through
contracts that expire June 30, 2014, will now be awarded through a competitive
Request for Proposal (RFP) process, with the exception of the prevention
contract with the NYC Department of Education which receives a specific
appropriation in the budget.<br />
<br />
The target population is the population who will receive the prevention
services. The priority for the populations to be served as a result of this RFP
will be those youth (ages 5-20) living within the five boroughs of New York
City who are determined to be at the highest risk for chemical abuse or
dependency. While all youth are considered to be at risk, limited resources
dictate that priority be given to those populations at the highest risk.<br />
<br />
Bidders Conference: <strong><span style="color: red;">June 3, 2014 from 1:30 PM EST until 3:30 PM EST</span></strong> at OASAS'
offices at 501 7th Avenue, New York, New York 10018. Only those applicants that
submit a Letter of Intent by May 23rd may attend the Bidders Conference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></strong><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The Latino Health Outreach Initiative was established by the New
York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) in 2007 pursuant to legislation. For
the purposes of this initiative, the term "Latino" includes any and
all individuals that identify as being of Spanish or Hispanic origin.
Initially, the Latino Health Outreach Initiative supported efforts to address
Latino health in the upstate regions of New York State. To expand on this work,
the Office of Minority Health-Health Disparities Prevention (OMH-HDP) announces
the availability of funds to support Latino Outreach Health Initiative efforts
throughout New York State. The purpose of this funding is to reduce barriers to
health care and improve health care system access for Latinos in New York State
by providing core interventions, enhancing communication, and improving
evaluation.<br />
<br />
Applications submitted in response to this solicitation should demonstrate the
applicants' ability to design and implement effective programs that can serve
Latinos using relevant </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">cultural, linguistic, age, gender and developmentally appropriate
interventions and strategies. Applicants must also demonstrate their ability to
develop and use monitoring and evaluation tools to continually assess and
enhance program services. Applicants should also demonstrate the capacity to
serve unique groups among this population as appropriate (e.g., lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender individuals; immigrants; low income individuals;
persons with mental illnesses; and persons with disabilities). These
individuals are members of communities that historically experience barriers
and marginalization, and may face additional and greater discrimination
impacting their access to, and interaction with, the health and human services
system. </span><span style="color: #000090; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

this initiative, "racial and ethnic minority males" or "minority
males" are defined as men who are American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian
American, Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian/Other
Pacific Islander. Initially, the Minority Male Wellness Initiative supported
efforts to address minority male wellness in the downstate regions of New York
State. To expand on this work, the Office of Minority Health and Health
Disparities Prevention (OMH-HDP) announces the availability of funds to support
Minority Male Wellness Initiative efforts throughout New York State. The
purpose of this funding is to reduce barriers to health care and improve health
care system access for minority males in New York State by providing core
interventions, enhancing communication, and improving evaluation of programs
and services.</span><span style="color: #000090; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

program interventions developed through adaptations, refinements, and
modifications of promising violence prevention and crime reduction models that
are tailored to at-risk minority male youth (10-18 years old) and integrate a
problem solving approach, such as the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) problem-solving model or the COPS Office Scanning, Analysis,
Response and Assessment (SARA) problem-solving model. These approaches should
simultaneously address public health and public safety concerns and be tailored
to at-risk minority male youth. Services provided under MYVP will not be denied
to any person based on race, color, national origin, or gender. This
demonstration program requires a coordinated strategy and multi-partner
approach. Applications to the MYVP must be comprised of collaborative
partnerships (established by means of a letter(s) of commitment) of which the
applicant is the lead. At minimum, the partnership must include one public
health agency and one law enforcement agency; one of which may be the lead
applicant. Applicants should demonstrate a partnership among disciplines, and
include public health, law enforcement, and other criminal justice/public
safety stakeholders, and organizations that specifically provide minority youth
violence prevention services (e.g. community policing programs, juvenile
services and the courts. Applicants must identify an established or promising
violence prevention/crime reduction model and integrate the CDC public health
or the SARA model to address the specific problem(s)identified among at-risk
minority male youth in the target community. </span><span style="color: #000090; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) seeks proposals from
organizations to conduct a statewide Youth Development Survey (YDS) of students
in grades 7 through 12 during the fall of 2014. The YDS will assess the
prevalence of student problem behaviors, including alcohol and substance use,
and the risk and protective factors that can be improved to reduce them.
The YDS survey will be based on a previous YDS conducted by OASAS in 2008.<br />
<br />
OASAS seeks to make a single contract for: (1) developing and printing the
survey questionnaire; (2) completing final components of the sampling design;
(3) managing the administration of the survey; (4) managing all data entry or
scanning of survey forms; (5) conducting preliminary data analysis; (6)
providing standard reports profiling risk and protective factors and substance
use for each county and participating school districts; and (7) providing OASAS
a documented computer file of all survey data collected.<br />
<br />
Any questions or requests for clarification about this RFP must be submitted in
writing via email and must be directed to: <a href="mailto:procurements@oasas.ny.gov" linktype="2" shape="rect" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">procurements@oasas.ny.gov</span></a>, with the subject line
of OASAS Project No. 14001YDS. To the degree possible, all questions
should cite the RFP section and paragraph number to which it refers.
Written inquiries will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. EST, <span style="color: red;"><strong>May 24, 2014</strong></span>.</span><span style="color: #000090; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The purpose of the BCP is to provide an alternative for runaway and homeless
youth who might otherwise end up with law enforcement or in the child welfare,
mental health, or juvenile justice systems. The BCP works to establish or
strengthen community-based programs that meet the immediate needs of runaway
and homeless youth and their families. The programs provide youth up to age 18
with emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling and referrals for health
care. Most basic centers can provide 21 days of shelter for up to 20 youth at a
time. There are exceptions for jurisdictions that have different standards for
licensing. Basic centers seek to reunite young people with their families,
whenever possible, or to locate appropriate alternative placements. Services
will include: street-based services; home-based services for families with
youth at risk of separation from the family; drug abuse education and
prevention services; and at the request of runaway and homeless youth, testing
for sexually transmitted diseases.<br />
<br />
In selecting eligible applicants to receive grants under this FOA, priority
will be given to private entities that have experience in providing shelter and
services to runaway, homeless and street youth as required by the RHY Act. </span><br />

living on the streets after running from or being asked to leave homes
characterized by abuse, neglect, or parental drug and alcohol abuse. Once on
the streets, such youth are at risk of being sexually exploited or abused by
adults for pleasure or profit. In addition, such youth may engage in
shoplifting, survival sex, or drug dealing in order to provide for their basic
needs. Since 1996, SOP has been aiding this population by funding grantees to
provide street-based services to runaway, homeless, and street youth who have
been subjected to, or are at risk of being subjected to, sexual abuse, prostitution,
or sexual exploitation. These services, which are provided in areas where
street youth congregate, are designed to assist such youth in making healthy
choices regarding where they live and how they behave.</span><br />

</span></strong><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">DOL will award grants to organizations to oversee the provision of
education, occupational skills training, and employment services to
disadvantaged youth in their communities while performing meaningful work and
service to their communities. Based on the estimate of FY 2014 funding, DOL
hopes to serve approximately 4,950 participants during the grant period of
performance, with approximately 75 projects awarded across the country.<br />
<br />
YouthBuild is a community-based alternative education program for youth between
the ages of 16 and 24 who are high school dropouts, adjudicated youth, youth
aging out of foster care, youth with disabilities, and other disadvantaged
youth populations. The YouthBuild program simultaneously addresses several core
issues facing low-income communities: affordable housing, education,
employment, and leadership development. The YouthBuild model balances
project-based learning and occupational skills training that prepare
disadvantaged youth for career placement. The academic component is an
alternative education program that assists youth who are often significantly
behind in basic skills to obtain a high school diploma or state high school
equivalency credential. The occupational skills training component prepares
at-risk youth to gain placement into career pathways and/or further education
or training, and also supports the goal of increasing affordable housing within
communities by teaching youth construction skills learned by building or
significantly renovating homes for low-income or homeless families or
individuals. Occupational skills training also may include other demand
industries in addition to construction skills training for grantees that have
been previously funded by the Department.</span><br />

grantmaking activities as a part of an organization's mission should be evident

</span></strong><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">In FY 2014 NIFA's CFPGCP intends to solicit applications and fund
three types of grants. The types are entitled (1) Community Food Projects
(CFP), (2) Planning Projects (PP) and (3) Training and Technical Assistance (T
& TA) Projects. The primary goals of the CFPCGP are to: Meet the food needs
of low-income individuals through food distribution, community outreach to
assist in participation in Federally assisted nutrition programs, or improving
access to food as part of a comprehensive service; Increase the self-reliance
of communities in providing for the food needs of the communities; Promote

</span></strong><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">NIJ is seeking multidisciplinary research and evaluation proposals
related to childhood exposure to violence. In particular, NIJ seeks
applications that address polyvictimization, resilience, or justice system
responses to children identified as being exposed to violence. For the purposes
of this solicitation, "Children Exposed to Violence (CEV)"
encompasses a broad area that includes children as both direct victims and as
bystanders or observers of various forms of violence in the home, school, or
community (including, but not limited to, peer
victimization/bullying/harassment, child maltreatment, domestic violence, and
community violence). This solicitation may be used to address other types of
violence to which children are exposed, with the exception of media violence
(e.g., television and movie violence, music advocating aggression, and violent
video games).</span><br />

</span></strong><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">NeON Arts is a new initiative that builds on the NYC Department of
Probation's successful efforts to advance public safety by engaging probation
clients in the arts. Made possible through a collaboration between the private
and public sectors, NeON Arts funds local arts projects in seven communities
that are home to large numbers of people on probation. NeON Arts connects
community-based artists and local arts organizations to probation clients who
report to a Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON) location. Artists and
clients collaborate on projects in a variety of disciplines, including dance,
music, theater, visual arts, poetry, and digital media. In addition to creating
meaningful arts projects that benefit their local community, participants learn
important skills and develop positive peer relationships. The partnering arts
organizations are selected by the local NeON stakeholder groups, which comprise
DOP clients, DOP staff, key members of the community, and local business and
cultural leaders.<br />
<br />
The seven NeON communities are Brownsville (Brooklyn), East New York
(Brooklyn), Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn-opening soon), Harlem (Manhattan),
South Jamaica (Queens), the South Bronx, and Northern Staten Island. Carnegie
Hall's Weill Music Institute, an ongoing arts partner of the NYC Department of
Probation, serves as the intermediary organization to provide support and
facilitation for NeON Arts.</span><br />

increase the risk of substance abuse and promoting the factors that minimize
the risk of substance abuse. *For the purposes of this RFA, "youth"

NCIPC extramural violence prevention research program are to: 1. Build the
scientific base for the prevention of violence by helping to expand and advance
our understanding of the primary prevention of interpersonal violence. 2.
Encourage professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines of epidemiology,
behavioral and social sciences, medicine, biostatistics, public health, health
economics, law, and criminal justice to perform research in order to prevent
violence more effectively. 3. Encourage investigators to propose research that
involves the development and testing of primary prevention strategies, programs
and policies designed to prevent interpersonal violence and reduce
violence-related outcomes as well as dissemination, implementation, and
translation research to enhance the adoption and maintenance of effective
strategies among individuals, organizations, or communities.</span><span style="color: #000090; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

encourages research on the impact of changing marijuana policies and laws on
public health outcomes, including marijuana exposure among children,
adolescents, and adults; other licit and illicit drug use; education and
professional achievement; social development; risky behaviors (e.g., drugged
driving); mental health; HIV, etc. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><strong><span style="color: red;">Purpose:</span></strong><br />
Public opinion around marijuana use has become increasingly positive and
permissive, despite the lack of scientific data on the short and longer term
outcomes among exposed children, adolescents, and even adults. Changes in
marijuana policy and legal status are gaining momentum, yet we know little
about the impact these shifts have had or will have on epidemiology, prevention
and treatment of marijuana and other substance use or disorders, related social
and health outcomes such as education and professional achievement, other risky
behaviors (e.g. drugged driving) and other disease incidence or prevalence
(e.g., HIV, mental illness). While modest increases in prevalence of marijuana
use coupled with decreases in the perception of harm associated with marijuana
use have been seen in recent years, given the current social climate around
marijuana use for both medical and recreational purposes it is reasonable to
anticipate continued fluctuations in trajectories of use and attitudes.
Therefore the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is encouraging
population-based research on social, behavioral, and health outcomes of
marijuana involvement to help inform the public health impact of the changing
marijuana environment.</span></div>
