New resources are now available on SPARS to support data collection for the new Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)/Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) SAMHSA Unified Performance Reporting Tool (SUPRT) – Administrative and Client. SAMHSA developed SUPRT to consolidate the CSAT Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Client Outcome Measures for Discretionary Programs Tool and theCMHS National Outcome Measures (NOMs) Client-Level Measures for Discretionary Programs Providing Direct Services Tool into a streamlined, multi-component SAMHSA Client-Level Performance Tool. Discretionary client services grantees will collect client-level data using SUPRT and enter data into SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System (SPARS), which serves as a central data repository. 

SUPRT consists of two components: 

  • SUPRT–Administrative (SUPRT-A): A brief questionnaire completed by grantees based on information available in client records.
  • SUPRT–Client or Caregiver (SUPRT-C): A brief questionnaire completed directly by the client or caregiver. 

These new tools are designed to reduce respondent burden, improve data consistency, and streamline data collection processes across SAMHSA-funded programs. 

Effective October 1, 2025, eligible grantees funded through CMHS and CSAT with more than one year remaining in their project period will transition to using the SUPRT-A/C tools. Grantees will be notified via eRA Commons regarding whether their grant is transitioning to SUPRT-A and SUPRT-C.

To support grantees in this transition, the following new resources are now available on the SPARS Resources page:

  • SUPRT-A Paper Tool (English)
  • SUPRT-C Paper Tool (English)

Announcements are posted on SPARS and grantees will be notified via email as additional resources become available. 

If you have questions, contact the SPARS Help Desk via email, SPARSHelpDesk@mathematica-mpr.com or by phone, 800-685-7623, from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET.
