Opportunity Information: Apply for SP 20 001
The Substance Abuse and HIV Prevention Navigator Program for Racial/Ethnic Minorities Ages 13-24 is a federal discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically its Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). Released under Funding Opportunity Number SP 20 001 and cataloged under CFDA 93.243, the program was designed for FY 2020 applicants seeking to address two closely linked public health challenges among young people: substance misuse and HIV risk.
At its core, the program focuses on reaching racial and ethnic minority adolescents and young adults ages 13 to 24 who are at the highest risk for HIV and substance use disorders. The strategy emphasized in this opportunity is a "navigation" model, meaning grantees are expected to use trusted, community-embedded roles such as Community Health Workers, Neighborhood Navigators, and Peer Support Specialists to help young people move more quickly and successfully into prevention education, testing and care pathways, and substance use-related supports. Rather than relying only on traditional referral systems that can be slow, confusing, or difficult to access, the navigator approach is meant to reduce barriers, build trust, and actively guide participants to the right services at the right time.
The funded work is expected to include several connected service components. One major component is prevention-focused training and education that addresses the risks and realities of substance misuse, tailored to youth and young adults in the target populations. Another component is HIV/AIDS education, which may include risk reduction information, awareness of prevention tools, and guidance on how to access HIV-related services. A critical operational expectation is linkage to services: programs should not stop at education, but should actively connect individuals to appropriate prevention, treatment, and supportive services. The description also highlights linkages for individuals living with HIV, underscoring an intent to ensure that participants who are HIV-positive are connected to needed service provision and care supports.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity was structured as a grant, with an award ceiling of $200,000 per award and an anticipated total of 82 awards. The posting lists an original closing date of December 27, 2019, with a creation date of October 28, 2019, indicating a relatively standard application window for a federal discretionary program. Eligibility is noted broadly as "Others," with applicants directed to consult the full announcement text for specific eligibility details and clarifications, which commonly includes categories such as community-based organizations, tribal entities, certain nonprofits, and other local or regional partners depending on the program rules.
Overall, the Prevention Navigator program is aimed at improving health outcomes by combining culturally responsive prevention education with hands-on navigation support, so young racial and ethnic minority participants can more easily access HIV prevention and care resources alongside substance use prevention and related services. The emphasis on peer and community-based navigators signals a practical, relationship-driven approach intended to improve engagement, reduce stigma-related barriers, and strengthen continuity from outreach to actual service connection.Apply for SP 20 001
