About SPF State Incentive Grants
(SIGS)
In October, 2004, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded
21 grants, totaling $230 million over five years, to implement Strategic
Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants (SPF SIGs) to advance community-based
programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion and
mental illness prevention.
The funds will be used to implement a five-step process known to promote
youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and
prevent problem behaviors. These grants will allow the programs to provide
leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating
communities are successful.
