The Project

The Substance Abuse Prevention/HIV Care Community Capacity Building Project (official name - SAMHSA Integrated HIV and Substance Abuse Prevention in Minority Communities Project) is an initiative funded through efforts of the Black Congressional Caucus. SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, through the Office of Medical and Clinical Affairs, funded community agencies across the United States to develop and implement innovative, tailored, integrated substance abuse and HIV prevention programs for racial and ethnic minority women, youth, and families.

Initially, forty-seven programs were chosen in 1999 based on their commitment to racial and ethnic minority communities and their capacity to develop, implement, and evaluate programs. In addition, one site (JSI Research & Training Institute Inc in Boston) was funded as a project coordinating center to oversee the evaluation of the program implemented by the forty-seven projects and to provide technical assistance for each project to ensure they have the skills and capacity to effectively participate in the evaluation process. A second round of programs have been chosen in 2001 to participate in the project.
