Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Cooperative Agreement to Support the Establishment of a Southeast Asia Regional HIV Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC), offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is a discretionary funding opportunity designed to create an internationally based ATTC focused specifically on Southeast Asia. The core aim is to strengthen regional capacity in behavioral health services that intersect with HIV, with an emphasis on practical workforce development and skills-building for organizations working inside national HIV/AIDS programs across Southeast Asian countries.
At its heart, the program is meant to support the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) by improving the capability of PEPFAR implementing partners to deliver higher-quality, evidence-based services. The center is expected to do this through training, targeted technical assistance, and structured technology transfer, meaning it does not just provide information but helps organizations actually adopt and implement proven approaches. The workforce development component signals that this is also about building sustainable local expertise, not only providing one-time trainings.
The technical content areas the Southeast Asia Regional HIV ATTC is expected to address span both HIV and substance use treatment, reflecting how often these issues overlap in real-world service systems. That includes support for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services; treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs); integrated approaches for co-occurring substance use and mental disorders; and recovery support service programs. The opportunity frames these services as part of a broader behavioral health service provision agenda, suggesting the center should help partners work across prevention, clinical care, treatment continuity, and recovery supports rather than focusing on a single slice of the service continuum.
A major expectation is collaboration rather than operating in isolation. The Southeast Asia Regional HIV ATTC is intended to work closely with other SAMHSA-funded internationally based ATTCs as well as with the National ATTC in the United States (referenced at nattc.org). This collaboration is geared toward developing and sharing evidence-based technical assistance products and strategies, facilitating information exchange, and accelerating technology transfer across the broader ATTC network. In practice, that implies alignment with established ATTC models, shared standards for training and TA, and an emphasis on approaches that are backed by research and implementation experience.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means SAMHSA anticipates substantial involvement with the awardee during the project period, including programmatic collaboration, guidance, and oversight beyond what is common in a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is TI 16 004, and it is listed under CFDA 93.243. SAMHSA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $250,000. The opportunity was created and posted on December 16, 2015, with the application closing date of February 19, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional specifics referenced as being provided in the full eligibility text of the announcement.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an effort to establish a regional hub in Southeast Asia that can raise the effectiveness and reach of HIV-related behavioral health services by equipping PEPFAR partners with practical skills, implementation support, and evidence-based tools. The emphasis on training, technical assistance, and technology transfer, combined with required collaboration across the ATTC network, points to a center that functions both as a capacity builder on the ground and as a node in a larger international knowledge-sharing system focused on HIV and addiction-related behavioral health care.
