SAMHSA-CMHS is accepting applications for fiscal year 2003 (FY03) cooperative
agreements to expand the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI) Intervention Development and Evaluation Centers. Funds are available
under Section 582 to local mental health providers for the purpose of developing
knowledge of best practices and providing mental health services to children
and youth suffering from post-traumatic stress as a result of having experienced
or witnessed a traumatic event. The purpose of the NCTSI is to improve treatment and services for all
children and adolescents in the United States who have experienced traumatic
events or witnessed such events. A network of centers, the NCTSI has been
established to promote the development and use of effective treatment
and services, to develop resources on trauma for professionals, consumers,
and the public, and to develop trauma-focused public education and professional
training and other field development activities. This announcement solicits for three specific types of child and adolescent traumatic stress Intervention Development and Evaluation (IDE) Centers that will facilitate the NCTSI achievement of its overall goals of improving access to and quality of services for child and adolescent traumatic stress:

and Evaluation Centers (this announcement) and/or the Community Treatment

programs will receive funding only for its proposed Intervention Development
and Evaluation Center. Applicant organizations must apply for one of the
