Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), and
Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), announce the availability of FY
2004 funds for the Development of Comprehensive Drug/Alcohol and Mental

For complete instructions, potential applicants must obtain a copy of SAMHSA’s standard Services Grants Program Announcement, SVC-04 PA (MOD), and the PHS 5161-1 (Rev. 7/00) application form before preparation and submitting an application. The SVC-04 PA (MOD) describes the general program design and provides instructions for applying for all SAMHSA Services Grants, including the Treatment for Homeless program. SAMHSA’s Services Grants provide funds to expand and strengthen effective, culturally appropriate substance abuse and mental health services at the State and local levels. The services implemented through SAMHSA’s Services Grants must incorporate the best objective information available regarding effectiveness and acceptability. In general, SAMHSA’s Services Grants are appropriate for applicants seeking Federal support to implement substance abuse and mental health services that have a strong evidence-base for effectiveness. SAMHSA’s Services Grants must be used primarily to support direct service delivery. SAMHSA expects that the services will be sustained beyond the term of the grant. Additional instructions and specific requirements for this funding opportunity are described below. |
