Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Funding Opportunity
AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to the
Education Development Center, Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award
approximately $485,780 (total costs) per year for one year to the
Education Development Center, Inc. Waltham, Massachusetts. This is not
a formal request for applications. Assistance will be provided only to
the Education Development Center, Inc. based on the receipt of a
satisfactory application that is approved by an independent review
group.
Funding Opportunity Title: SM-12-012.
Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243
Authority: Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended.
Justification: The purpose of the Technical Assistance Center for
Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention Center (TA
Center) is to support the federally funded Safe Schools/Healthy
Students (SS/HS) and Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's
Health (Project LAUNCH) grant programs.
The Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant program provides funds to
local educational agencies to plan, implement, evaluate and sustain a
comprehensive plan of programs, activities, services and curricula to
foster resilience, promote mental health, prevent substance abuse,
youth violence, and mental and behavioral disorders. The SS/HS program
is grounded in the belief that people's lives can be enhanced through
effective interventions that foster well-being and resilience at the
individual, family and community levels. Structurally, the SS/HS
program brings together representatives from many diverse stakeholder
groups seeking cooperation from an array of public health, mental
health, education, law enforcement, justice and social service systems,
as well as families and youth, to work towards the mutual goals of
promoting safety, well-being, and healthy development.
The purpose of this supplemental funding is to expand and enhance
current grant activities by broadening the current focus to bring
lessons learned to scale. The TA Center will engage local, state, and
Federal agencies, through collaborative partnerships, to strengthen the
mental health promotion, mental illness prevention, and substance abuse
prevention efforts across the country.
Eligibility for this funding opportunity is limited to the
Education Development Center, Inc. As the current grantee for the
Technical Assistance Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth
Violence, Education Development Center, Inc. has the infrastructure
already in place to immediately begin to implement the activities under
the this supplemental funding, thereby serving to maximize efficiencies
created under the current services infrastructure.
