SAMHSA Awards Funds for Colorado

Conference to Focus on Rural and Frontier Mental Health

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) today announced the award of a Knowledge Dissemination Conference grant totaling $49,980 to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education of Boulder, Colorado.  The grants are being used to disseminate information about best practices within the mental health services, substance abuse prevention and substance treatment fields at regionally and/or nationally significant conferences. 

This particular grant will convene mental health researchers, consumers, providers, and policy makers to promote a regional network and action plan to integrate research into practice in western states.

The maximum Conference Grant award is $50,000 for a 12-month project period.  This grant program will be administered by SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services, and only direct costs will be funded.

SAMHSA is a public health agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. The agency is responsible for improving the accountability, capacity and effectiveness of the nation's substance abuse prevention, addictions treatment, and mental health services delivery system.
