Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Defense funding opportunity titled Community Partners in Suicide Prevention (Funding Opportunity Number H98210 BAA 15 0001) is a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement program designed to support suicide prevention outreach and education connected to Section 706. The core purpose is to improve awareness, knowledge, and informed help-seeking among members of the National Guard and Reserves, as well as their family members, caregivers, and the broader public, with a specific emphasis on suicide prevention and the related issues of mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). A key point in this announcement is that projects must stay firmly in the lane of outreach and education; proposals are not supposed to include new research activities or direct treatment services. In other words, the government is looking for strong, practical dissemination and education efforts that translate what is already known from research and evidence-based practice into accessible information, training, and community-facing prevention work.
The opportunity requires that outreach and education efforts be carried out by, or in collaboration with, "community partners" as defined in the announcement. These community partners are private nonprofit organizations or institutions that are engaged in at least one of the following areas: researching the causes, development, and innovative treatments for mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and TBI in National Guard and Reserve populations and their families/caregivers; identifying and disseminating evidence-based treatments related to those issues; and/or delivering outreach and education on those topics (including suicide prevention) to service members, families, caregivers, and the public. Even though the definition of community partner includes research and evidence-based treatment dissemination, the CPSPOE program itself is specifically funding the outreach and education component, meaning applicants should frame their proposed work around education, awareness, training, referral pathways, stigma reduction, and related prevention communications rather than clinical service delivery or experimental research.
Funding for the Broad Agency Announcement is described as up to 5 million dollars total across anticipated awards, with an expectation of about two awards. The recommended minimum award size is 500,000 dollars and the recommended maximum is 2.5 million dollars, indicating the program is aimed at relatively substantial, scalable efforts rather than small pilot workshops. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for eligible nonprofits and institutions to apply. The listing also notes an estimated total funding figure of 2.5 million dollars in the source data, but the narrative states 5 million dollars total available for grants under the BAA; applicants would typically treat the solicitation language as the controlling guidance and confirm details in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad within the community-partner framework. Eligible applicants include private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they meet the community partner criteria described). The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.561 and is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, even though the funded work is outreach/education rather than research execution. Practically, this suggests the government is positioning the program as part of a research-to-practice pipeline: translating existing research and evidence-based approaches into prevention-focused communication and education that reaches Guard and Reserve communities and the people around them.
The announcement also lays out several standard but important government rights and process notes that applicants should take seriously. The government may choose to make awards without holding discussions, meaning proposals should be submitted as final, complete, and fully competitive packages rather than relying on negotiation later. At the same time, the government reserves the right to conduct discussions if needed, to select all, some, one, or none of the proposals received, and to fund only parts of a proposal if it prefers a partial scope. If only a portion of a proposal is considered for award, the agency may open discussions to adjust the project accordingly. The grants office may request additional documentation after an applicant is recommended for award, and applicants can be removed from consideration if they cannot reach agreement on award terms in a reasonable timeframe or fail to provide requested information promptly.
Key administrative details in the posted record include an original closing date of July 17, 2015 and a current closing date of August 8, 2015, with an archive date of August 16, 2015, indicating the competition timeframe for that cycle. The primary agency contact listed is Grants Officer Heather Hay (phone 571-372-2614). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a DoD-funded effort to strengthen community-based prevention education and outreach infrastructure around suicide prevention and related behavioral health and TBI concerns for National Guard and Reserve members and their support networks, delivered through capable nonprofit or institutional partners and designed for real-world reach rather than clinical treatment or new research.
