Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Cooperative Agreement for the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Center for Excellence in Behavioral Health (HBCU CFE) is a SAMHSA funding opportunity administered through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). The program is designed to strengthen and further connect the nationwide network of 105 federally recognized HBCUs in order to promote behavioral health on campus, expand the capacity of campus-based services, and support behavioral health workforce development. In practice, the opportunity is meant to help HBCUs work together and use shared strategies to reduce behavioral health challenges that can interfere with student success, persistence, and graduation.
A central focus of the HBCU CFE is improving outcomes related to a broad range of behavioral health concerns affecting college communities. The announcement explicitly includes substance abuse or misuse, alcohol and drug addiction, serious psychological distress, suicide, and mental and substance use disorders. The grant emphasizes prevention and early identification as key levers, alongside better access to effective supports. A major theme throughout is that institutions are expected to promote awareness of early signs of emotional distress and strengthen pathways to early intervention so students receive help before problems escalate.
The opportunity is also explicitly framed as an effort to address behavioral health disparities that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minority communities. The program encourages applicants to implement strategies that reduce differences in access to care, utilization of services, and outcomes among the populations served by HBCUs and among those trained through HBCU workforce pipelines. Another stated expectation is that campus resources and outreach should be culturally and linguistically appropriate, reflecting the needs and experiences of the communities HBCUs serve.
The goals outlined for the HBCU CFE include promoting student behavioral health in ways that can positively influence student retention, expanding campus service capacity (including strengthening the availability and appropriateness of behavioral health resources), facilitating dissemination of best practices across HBCU campuses, supporting behavioral health workforce development, and increasing student and campus community awareness of early warning signs of distress along with available support options. The initiative is aligned with SAMHSA's broader agency direction, particularly the Prevention Strategic Initiative, with the intent of reducing the likelihood of substance abuse, mental illness, and suicide in communities by building prevention-minded campus environments and stronger service systems.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning SAMHSA anticipates an active partnership role with the award recipient rather than a hands-off grant. The Funding Opportunity Number is TI-14-006. SAMHSA expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000 (no stated minimum award floor). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). The opportunity was posted February 7, 2014, with an application due date of April 7, 2014, and an archive date of May 7, 2014.
Eligibility is limited to the 105 nationally recognized HBCUs or a consortium of HBCUs, with a lead college or university serving as the applicant. The funded recipient is the entity legally responsible for meeting all grant requirements. The announcement notes that the statutory authority prohibits awards to for-profit agencies. The program is presented as consistent with Executive Order 13532, which aims to strengthen HBCU capacity, increase participation in federal programs, and support national higher education attainment goals. It is also tied to Healthy People 2020 priority areas, specifically the Mental Health and Mental Disorders topic area and the Substance Abuse topic area.
The cooperative agreement is authorized under sections 509 and 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Eileen Bermudez in SAMHSA's Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management, located in Rockville, Maryland, with phone and email provided in the notice.
