SAMHSA Reaching Out to Prospective Grantees

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) today announced that it is sending an e-mail letter to persons known to be interested in SAMHSA grants to inform them that they can file for grants online at www.grants.gov .

This new system creates one application process for 26 participating federal departments and agencies. It will enable prospective grantees to register one time for all federal grant opportunities available online and have information generated for future applications, so information does not have to be re-entered.

The grants.gov system will provide immediate electronic notification of grant opportunities and any changes to published announcements. Online and phone assistance is available every business day to provide answers to questions.

SAMHSA allows five days after the grant deadline for mailing signed copies of electronic forms requiring signatures.
