- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Eligible applicants are communities, domestic public and private nonprofit entities. States are not eligible, but 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 may apply. Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities. Consortia of tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for profit agencies. States are not eligible to apply because they do not have the direct connection to the community level that is necessary for this place based initiative. In the vast majority of cases, States do not have the direct community relationship held by counties and localities that would be necessary to successfully coordinate the program. In those cases where such a relationship does exist, there is nothing in the RFA prohibiting the State from partnering with a local government in support of the project and playing a more direct role, however, the legally responsible entity is expected to be the community level organization.

Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Cooperative Agreements for Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children s Health, commonly referred to as Project LAUNCH, is a SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services grant opportunity designed to improve the overall wellness of young children from birth through age 8. The program is built around the idea that children do best when communities intentionally plan and coordinate services across sectors, rather than treating physical health, mental health, early learning, and family support as separate systems. In this program, "wellness" is defined broadly as optimal development across physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral domains, with a clear end result in mind: children thriving in safe and supportive environments, arriving at school ready to learn, and positioned to succeed.
A central feature of Project LAUNCH is the requirement to use a systematic, community driven planning process to create a shared vision for child wellness and then use that vision to align local networks that serve young children and families. The grant is meant to help jurisdictions pull together key partners across the child serving system, such as early childhood programs, primary care, behavioral health providers, schools, social services, and community and faith based organizations. Through this coordinated network, communities are expected to develop a comprehensive strategic plan and pursue practical reforms such as updated policies, improved financing approaches, and streamlined processes that make it easier to integrate behavioral health and physical health services and reduce fragmentation and inefficiency. The program also emphasizes that what gets built locally should be strong enough to serve as a replicable model that can be extended to other jurisdictions within the same State, Territory, or Tribe.
Project LAUNCH is grounded in a public health approach, meaning it focuses on population level improvement rather than only responding after problems become severe for individual children. Applicants are expected to address risk factors that contribute to poor developmental and behavioral outcomes while also strengthening protective factors that build resilience and healthy development. Substance abuse prevention is treated as a core piece of behavioral health in this early childhood context, tied to healthy social and emotional development, positive behaviors, and ensuring children live in families and communities that are safe, stable, and free from substance abuse and related harmful conditions. In practice, this means communities are expected to implement evidence based or best practices that prevent problems before they escalate and that support children and families early, when interventions can be most effective.
The opportunity lays out several concrete system and service outcomes it wants funded communities to move on, including increasing the number of jurisdictions using a community planning process, improving coordination across service systems and community organizations, expanding the use of evidence based practices, increasing the number of children receiving evidence based services, increasing screening for behavioral health issues, and increasing referrals to appropriate behavioral health services. The program is explicitly aligned with SAMHSA s Strategic Initiative focused on the Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness, with an emphasis on creating "prevention prepared communities" where families, schools, workplaces, and community organizations actively work to reduce mental illness and substance abuse across the lifespan.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement (meaning SAMHSA anticipates a more engaged federal role than a standard grant). The Funding Opportunity Number is SM 10 012 under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated making 6 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $3,900,000, and an award ceiling of $650,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Key dates listed include a posted date of April 16, 2010, with an application closing date of May 17, 2010, and an archive date of June 16, 2010.
Eligibility is community focused rather than state led. Eligible applicants include domestic public and private nonprofit entities and community level organizations, including local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private colleges and universities, and community and faith based organizations. For profit entities are prohibited by statute. States are specifically not eligible as applicants because the initiative is place based and requires a direct connection to local community systems; however, states may partner in a supportive role while the legally responsible applicant remains a community level entity. Tribal consortia may apply as long as each participating entity documents approval. The program is authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290bb 32) and is linked to Healthy People 2010 focus areas 18 (Mental Health and Mental Disorders) and 26 (Substance Abuse).
