Opportunity Summary:
The Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) for Professionals grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-077) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to grow the nation s behavioral health workforce. The program was framed in support of the White House "Now is the Time" initiative and focuses specifically on strengthening services for children, adolescents, and transitional age youth who are at risk for developing, or who already have, a recognized mental health and or substance use disorder. Throughout the announcement, mental health and substance abuse are grouped under the single umbrella term "behavioral health," and the central idea is to increase the number of well trained clinicians entering the workforce with direct experience serving these youth populations.
Funding is intended to expand and improve clinical training pipelines by paying for pre-degree internships and field placements as well as certain doctoral-level psychology training experiences. On the master s side, the grant supports clinical internships and field placements that are required components of accredited graduate programs, with an emphasis on hands-on training in behavioral health settings. Eligible disciplines at the master s level include social work, psychology, marriage and family therapy, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner training, and professional counseling (including both mental health counseling and addiction or substance use disorder counseling). On the doctoral side, the opportunity supports health service psychology internship programs and or accredited doctoral-level schools and programs in areas such as health services psychology, clinical psychology, and counseling psychology. In practical terms, applicants are expected to use grant resources to increase the number and quality of supervised training slots, helping more students complete required clinical experiences and graduate into the workforce ready to provide care.
A defining expectation of the program is that all supported internships and field placements concentrate on serving at-risk children, adolescents, and transitional age youth, and that training is experiential rather than purely classroom-based. The announcement also stresses modern care delivery models, requiring that trainees participate in established interprofessional and integrated teams. This points to training environments where behavioral health providers work alongside other health and social service professionals, reflecting the reality that youth behavioral health needs often intersect with primary care, school systems, child welfare, juvenile justice, and community based supports. The goal is not only to produce more providers, but to produce providers who are prepared to function effectively in coordinated, team based, integrated systems of care.
In terms of funding details, HRSA anticipated making about 120 awards under this competition, with an estimated total program funding level of $26,700,000. Individual awards had a ceiling of $480,000, and the listed award floor was $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.243, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance.
Eligibility is centered on accredited training programs and internships in the specified disciplines. The opportunity is aimed at accredited master s level schools and programs in social work, health services psychology (including clinical and counseling), marriage and family therapy, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner education, and professional counseling, as well as accredited doctoral-level psychology schools, programs, and internships in health services psychology, clinical psychology, and counseling psychology. The structure of eligible applicants reflects the program s workforce pipeline approach: it funds the educational and clinical training institutions that can directly create, expand, and sustain training placements tied to real world service delivery for youth behavioral health.
Key dates for this FY 2014 competition included a posting date of April 3, 2014 and an application deadline (original and final) of June 3, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on August 2, 2014. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and could contact the HRSA Call Center at 877-464-4772 or by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
