Submissions

The open submission period for this year is October 1, 2009 - February 1, 2010.

Confirm that your intervention is eligible for review

Before submitting your intervention, please read the most recent Federal Register notice and confirm that your intervention meets NREPP's current minimum requirements:

The intervention has produced one or more positive behavioral outcomes (p ≤ .05) in mental health or substance use among individuals, communities, or populations.
Evidence of these outcomes has been demonstrated in at least one study using an experimental or quasi-experimental design.
The results of these studies have been published in a peer-reviewed journal or other publication or documented in a comprehensive evaluation report.
Implementation materials, training and support resources, and quality assurance procedures have been developed and are ready for use by the public.

Submit your intervention

To start the submission process, register for Online Submission and enter your intervention name and your contact information. Within 1 to 3 business days, you will receive a user name and password with instructions on how to use the online submission system to submit your application.

Between October 1, 2009, and February 1, 2010, use the online submission system to submit a cover letter to NREPP expressing interest in applying and documentation that demonstrates the intervention meets the minimum requirements listed above. Complete submissions should include:

A list of significant behavioral outcomes that includes supporting citations for each outcome.
A full-text copy of each article/report cited in the list of outcomes. Other research articles, published or unpublished evaluation reports, grant final reports, and replication studies may be submitted as additional supporting documentation. NOTE: Abstracts or URLs to partial articles are regarded as incomplete and will not be considered.
A list and brief description of available materials, resources, and systems to support implementation (e.g., treatment manuals, information for administrators, tested training curricula, mechanisms for ongoing supervision and consultation, protocols for gathering process and outcome data, ongoing monitoring of intervention fidelity, processes for gathering feedback).

SAMHSA may give special consideration to interventions that meet specific conditions. See the Federal Register notice for more information.

For additional guidance on submitting an intervention, call 1-866-436-7377 or e-mail nrepp@samhsa.gov.

The selection of interventions for review will take place after the submission period closes. You will be notified of your acceptance status at that time. Interventions that are not selected for review may be resubmitted in a future open submission period. Interventions that are accepted will be placed in a queue to await scheduling of the review. Once NREPP is ready to schedule the review, NREPP staff will contact the intervention developer or principal investigator to set up a kick-off call. Please see the Review Process page for more information.
