The program funds knowledge development and application projects, training and technical assistance programs, targeted capacity-response programs, and systems-change initiatives serving states, tribes, and communities. Recent awards span suicide prevention and intervention across primary care, rural health systems, and tribal youth services; infant and early childhood mental health screening and treatment; trauma-informed services in schools and residential settings; peer workforce development and statewide consumer networks; mobile crisis response teams; behavioral health and community safety partnerships addressing violence and crime impacts; and specialized treatment centers for eating disorders, deaf and hard-of-hearing youth, and other populations. Funded activities include universal screening protocols (PHQ-9, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, Brief Trauma Screening), evidence-based interventions (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy), care coordination and safety planning, workforce training, and continuous quality improvement.
All 162 awards are Project Grants. SAMHSA is the sole funder and administers the program directly. Award magnitudes cluster around $150,000 to $750,000 for multi-year projects, with several reaching $800,000 to $970,000; a few specialized centers exceed $1.8 million. The 2026 award cohort was substantial, with diverse recipients including tribal governments, federally qualified health centers, state behavioral health authorities, universities, nonprofit organizations, and peer-led organizations serving rural, urban, and frontier regions nationwide and in U.S. territories.
