Describe the resources available for the proposed project (e.g., facilities, equipment), and
provide evidence that services will be provided in a location that is adequate, accessible,
compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and amenable to the population
of focus. If the ADA does not apply to your organization, please explain why.
Section E:
Performance Assessment and Data (15 points)
Document your ability to collect and report on the required performance measures as
specified in Section I-2.7 of this RFA. Describe your plan for data collection, management,
analysis and reporting. Specify and justify any additional measures or instruments you plan
to use for your grant project.
Describe how data will be used to manage the project and assure continuous quality
improvement, including consideration of disparate outcomes for different racial/ethnic
groups. Describe how information related to process and outcomes will be routinely
communicated to program staff.
Describe your plan for conducting the performance assessment as specified in Section I-2.8
of this RFA and document your ability to conduct the assessment.
Provide a per-person or unit cost of the project to be implemented. You can calculate this
figure by: 1) taking the total cost of the project over the lifetime of the grant and subtracting
20% for data and performance assessment; 2) dividing this number by the total unduplicated
number of persons to be served.
Program Costs. The following are considered reasonable ranges by treatment modality:
o Residential: $3,000 to $10,000
o Outpatient (Non-Methadone): $1,000 to $5,000
o Outpatient (Methadone): $1,500 to $8,000
o Intensive Outpatient: $1,000 to $7,500
o Screening/Brief Intervention/Brief Treatment/Outreach/Pretreatment Services: $200
to $1,200
o Drug Court Programs (regardless of client treatment modality): $3,000 to $5,000
o Peer Recovery Support Services: $1,000 to $2,500
The outreach and pretreatment services cost band applies only to outreach and pretreatment
programs that do not offer treatment services but operate with a network of substance abuse
treatment facilities. Treatment programs that add outreach and pretreatment services to a
treatment modality or modalities are expected to fall within the cost band for that treatment
modality.
NOTE: Although the budget for the proposed project is not a scored review criterion, the Review
Group will be asked to comment on the appropriateness of the budget after the merits of the
application have been considered.
