About this program
The Office of the Secretary of Defense funds outreach and education initiatives addressing mental health, substance use disorders, traumatic brain injury, and suicide prevention among National Guard and Reserve members, their families, and caregivers under CFDA 12.561, with the most recent grant awards made on September 30, 2015.
The program is no longer active. The portfolio contains only two Project Grants totaling $5 million in federal dollars obligated, both awarded in 2015 with completion dates of September 29, 2016. No grant opportunities have been posted since August 8, 2015 (solicitation H98210-BAA-15-0001), and no grant awards have been disbursed in the eleven years since that cycle closed.
When the program was operational, it funded community-partner-led outreach and education pilots addressing suicide prevention, mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and traumatic brain injury. Funded activities explicitly excluded direct research or treatment delivery; the focus was on awareness, education, and dissemination of evidence-based practices to uniformed Service members and Reserve component members regardless of duty status, along with their families and caregivers. All recipients were required to be private nonprofit organizations or institutions meeting Secretary of Defense qualifications as defined in the FY 13 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 706, as amended.
The two awards from the 2015 cycle were Project Grants of approximately $2.49 million and $2.5 million respectively, within the solicitation's minimum award of $500 thousand and maximum of $2.5 million per award. The total funding pool for that cycle was $5 million.
Do not pursue funding under this program. The eleven-year funding gap, absence of recent solicitations, and lack of renewal or reauthorization signals indicate the pilot program has not been active as a funding mechanism. The source does not indicate whether the program remains authorized, whether future opportunities will be posted, or whether the pilot's Congressional reporting requirement has been fulfilled.
