Opportunity Summary:
The Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI 12 008) is a FY 2012 discretionary funding program run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, in partnership with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). It uses a cooperative agreement model, meaning awardees are expected to work closely with the federal project partners rather than operate entirely independently. The central aim is workforce development: building and strengthening the skills, knowledge, and readiness of the people who deliver substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services, especially as demand grows due to health reform and broader system changes.
The program is built around the idea that improving outcomes in addiction services depends heavily on having a capable, well-trained workforce. ATTCs are expected to work in active partnership with key stakeholders such as Single State Authorities (SSAs), treatment provider associations, addictions counselors, multidisciplinary behavioral health professionals, faith and recovery community leaders, and families of people in recovery. A major part of the work is needs assessment: identifying training and professional development gaps across the substance use disorders workforce. Based on those findings, centers then design and deliver training and technical assistance (TA), along with "technology transfer" activities that help real-world providers adopt evidence-based and promising practices. The emphasis is not only on teaching information, but on improving practical skills and supporting implementation within recovery-oriented systems of care.
SAMHSA ties this effort to its broader agency direction, noting that workforce development is a foundational element across its 8 Strategic Initiatives. The announcement also underscores alignment with SAMHSA's regional approach. The ATTC network structure was adjusted to mirror the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regional office structure, with the intent of strengthening SAMHSA's on-the-ground regional presence. Under this structure, funding supports 10 regional ATTCs that address behavioral health workforce needs at regional and local levels, plus 4 ATTCs with a national focus and 1 regional coordinating center. Together, these 15 centers are meant to provide broad, coordinated support for workforce development nationwide.
In terms of what SAMHSA wants to see as outcomes, the opportunity highlights measurable workforce impact. Examples of target goals include expanding the number of people trained, showing clear application of knowledge gained through training and TA in actual practice settings, encouraging participants to share and spread what they learned, and demonstrating strong, functional linkages with SSAs. The announcement also stresses that ATTCs should stay closely aligned with SAMHSA leadership and priority areas to ensure consistency and maximize national impact. Priority examples named in the notice include promoting SAMHSA's recovery definition and principles, addressing the needs of military families, and supporting health reform related enrollment and eligibility efforts.
A notable content priority woven into the announcement is trauma and trauma-informed care. SAMHSA describes an ongoing effort to develop an expert consensus definition of trauma and trauma-informed care, along with guidelines for trauma-informed systems that can be applied across service sectors. Because previous investments have produced many different definitions and approaches in the field, SAMHSA is aiming to reduce confusion and standardize its trauma-informed framework. ATTCs are expected to help disseminate and support adoption of SAMHSA's clarified approach through training, policies, and technical assistance channels.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the program is authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and is associated with CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated making 15 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,530,000 and an award ceiling of $765,000 (no award floor was specified). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was May 25, 2012, and the application closing date was June 28, 2012 (with an archive date of July 28, 2012).
Eligibility is limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities. Examples listed include state and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, and community- and faith-based organizations. Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations may apply if each participating entity documents approval. For-profit organizations are explicitly prohibited by statute from receiving these grants. The notice also flags basic submission and formatting requirements that must be met to avoid being screened out prior to review, including use of the SF-424, SF-424A, the Project/Performance Site Location(s) form, lobbying disclosure (if applicable), and adherence to the RFA's submission and formatting rules. For access issues or administrative questions, the grant contact listed is Eileen Bermudez in SAMHSA's Division of Grants Management.
