Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Subcontractors Program
Request for Proposals

Proposals are requested from State agencies; juvenile courts; and local public, private, or tribal non-profit organizations. There will be full and open competition in each of these three categories: States, juvenile courts, and local communities.

Organizations will be asked to organize, implement, and evaluate programs that will either:

  • Decrease the incidence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) by implementing evidence-based programs to eliminate alcohol consumption by pregnant women. The target audience will be pregnant women who drink or women of childbearing age in alcohol or substance abuse treatment;

or

  • Improve the functioning and quality of life of people with an FASD and their families. This will be achieved by diagnosing those with an FASD and providing interventions based on the diagnosis.
