Return Continuation

The Return Continuation action allows SAMHSA grants staff to delete a grantee-submitted unawarded Type 5 continuation application and send the grantee notification of the return via the Correspondence feature.

Note: This action deletes the application and all associated documentation and data, including the e-application, checklists, correspondence, etc. If you want to preserve any of these materials, you must manually download them before completing the return continuation process: The return process cannot be undone.

The grantee – following instructions found in the received correspondence – will either edit and submit the application again or delete the application completely and restart/resubmit, depending on SAMHSA’s guidance (based on business decisions).

Follow these steps to return the continuation application and notify the grantee:

  1. In the Grant Portfolio screen, search for the continuation application to return.
