Federal Register Notice: August 22, 2002

SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, and Center for Mental Health Services announce the availability of Fiscal Year 2003 funds for up to 40 grants for States, U.S. Territories, the District of Columbia, Indian Tribes, and consortia of Indian tribes. The purpose of this targeted capacity expansion program is to enhance State-level capacity for a coordinated response to mental health and substance abuse service needs in the aftermath of large-scale emergencies (both natural and human-caused). Incident response plans and response infrastructure developed under the grant must include both mental health and substance abuse agencies and must focus on coordinated mental health and substance abuse emergency planning and capacity development activities. SAMHSA will be providing extensive technical assistance to grantees in need assessment, planning, and development of command and response systems. It is anticipated that guidance materials and a multi-State planning conference will be provided for grantees. In addition, individual State requests for technical assistance will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Approximately $4,000,000 will be available for up to 40 awards. Annual awards must be for less than $100,000 in total costs (direct and indirect). Actual funding levels will depend on the availability of funds. Awards may be requested for up to 2 years. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds and progress achieved. |

Who Can Apply:
States, Indian Tribes, and consortia of Indian tribes may apply. As defined in the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, the term "State" includes all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. State mental health and substance abuse authorities must apply in partnership. In States, territories, or tribal governments with administratively separate mental health and substance abuse authorities, a lead agency must be designated for grant purposes.
