DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Funding Opportunity
AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to Link2Health
Solutions, Inc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award
approximately $200,000 (total costs) for up to one year to Link2Health
Solutions, Inc. the current grantee for the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline. This is not a formal request for applications. Assistance
will be provided only to Link2Health Solutions, Inc based on the
receipt of a satisfactory application that is approved by an
independent review group.
Funding Opportunity Title: SM-13-012.
Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
Authority: Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended.
Justification: Only an application from Link2Health Solutions will
be considered for funding under this announcement. It is considered
most cost-effective and efficient to supplement the existing grantee
for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and to build on the
existing capacity and infrastructure.
Link2Health Solutions is in the unique position to carry out the
activities of this grant announcement because it is the current
recipient of SAMHSA's cooperative agreement to manage the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The purpose of this program is to manage,
enhance, and strengthen the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
(referred to as the Lifeline). Supplemental funding is being provided
for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline as a result of increased
need for services through non-traditional telephonic means (e.g. chat
and text-based intervention services). Priorities and awareness raising
activities will also be directed towards ensuring that the prevention
needs of diverse populations will be addressed.
