Please answer the following questions:
1. What priorities in the strategic plan would this grant activity support? Please provide
data to describe a documented health need that would be addressed and that is
consistent with the Health Services Strategic Plan.
The priority addressed by this grant activity is youth substance abuse prevention. The grant
would specifically focus on marijuana, alcohol and tobacco. Deschutes County youth drug
use rates are consistently higher than state averages. Adolescent drug use is strongly
correlated with academic problems and adult problem behavior, amongst other issues.
2. Would this support core program activities and if so, which one(s)? Are additional
funds needed to support these activities?
Yes, this would support core program activities within the substance abuse prevention
program that have been underfunded. It would expand, strengthen and enhance the
capacity of the program to work with the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP)
coalition to address youth marijuana, alcohol and tobacco prevention.
Funding would be used to provide 1.0 FTE and resources to support prioritized coalition
activities. The overall goals would be to strengthen community collaboration within the Bend
area to focus on youth drug prevention and to reduce substance use among youth under 18
years of age.
3. Does this funding add new program activities? What are these? Is it appropriate to
add these new activities at this time?
Activities in this application are currently being performed at a smaller scale. This funding
will allow us to expand the breadth of programming to reach a wider audience and produce
more deliverables.
4. Is there a science base to support delivering the activities and services you have
listed? Please describe that science base?
Yes, the DFC Support Program strongly adheres to substance abuse prevention science. A
research based planning model called the Strategic Prevention Framework will be used to
engage the community to prioritize issues and strategically implement a variety of evidenced
based strategies to make sustainable change.
Enhancing the lives of citizens by delivering quality services in a cost effective manner.
5. How long would the funding be available? If the funding is for less than three years,
what is your plan to transition the work, staffing and expenses after the funding
ends?
5 years with a possible 5 year extension
6. How long will you have to write the application? Do you anticipate you will have any
problems meeting this deadline?
The RFP recently became available and is due on March 18th, allowing two months to
complete. Staff has been working with the ASAP community coalition to prepare for this
grant for the past two years. Deschutes County applied for the DFC grant last year on
behalf of ASAP, but was not awarded funding.
7. Do you have the staffing to write a competitive proposal? If not, how will you contract
for these services?
Yes we have staffing and expertise to write a competitive proposal.
8. Are there any matching requirements?
Yes, we must provide in-kind matching contributions. Across the possible 10 -year span
of the grant, the following match is required:

Deschutes County was the recipient of a DFC grant from 2001-2011 and was able to comply
with the match requirement.
9. What other partner organizations could potentially be applying? What is your plan to
work with them?
No other partner organizations are applying within Deschutes County.
10. What are the potential political issues that could arise as a result of this
application/funding/activity?
Deschutes County would be applying for the DFC grant on behalf of ASAP. To provide
clarification of expectations and authority, a memorandum of agreement (MOA) detailing
roles and responsibilities of each party will be secured with the coalition. The MOA will
identify Deschutes County as the ultimate authority.
11. After meeting with the Health Services Business Manager, what is the determined
fiscal impact as a result of this application?
See attached analysis. The DFC grant is sufficient to cover FTE across the five years.
However, the grant is insufficient to cover the total projected administrative indirect cost per
1.0 FTE. This budget is a conservative projection based on paying a top -step employee to
assume the position, with no additional revenue in substance abuse prevention.
