SAMHSA Accepting Applications for $8 Million in Statewide Family Network Grants to Strengthen State Capacity and Infrastructure

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is accepting applications for fiscal year 2010 grants for the Statewide Family Network Program. The purpose of this program is to enhance State capacity and infrastructure and to be more oriented to the needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families.

 

SAMHSA expects that up to $8 million will be available to fund 42 grants of approximately $60,000 per year for up to three years.  Up to six grantees will receive an additional $10,000 per year for projects that include a youth leadership component. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds and the grantee’s progress in meeting project goals and objectives.  The grants will be administered by SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services. 

 

WHO CAN APPLY: Domestic public and private nonprofit entities, including faith-based entities, tribal family organizations, and family run non-profit organizations in States where there is currently not a funded Statewide Family Network are eligible to apply. [See Section III-1 of this RFA for complete eligibility information.]
