Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Cooperative Agreements for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) opportunity is a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) services grant aimed at helping States, Territories, the District of Columbia, and federally recognized Tribes build out and strengthen adult SBIRT services in everyday health care and community settings. The central goal is to make routine, universal screening for substance misuse a normal part of adult care, followed by brief interventions for those at risk and clear referral pathways into treatment for people who need more intensive services. In practice, the program is meant to expand the continuum of care so that substance use concerns are identified earlier, addressed faster, and linked more reliably to appropriate treatment and recovery supports.
The program focuses on implementing SBIRT for adults in primary care and community health settings, while also encouraging a broad mix of additional sites where adults commonly show up for services. Examples listed in the announcement include health centers, nursing homes, university health centers, employee assistance and job training programs, hospitals and emergency departments, office-based practices, and Military, Reserve, and Guard units. The expectation is that grantees will deliver clinically appropriate SBIRT services both to people who are at risk but may have no obvious symptoms and to individuals who already meet criteria for a substance use disorder. Beyond implementing clinical workflows, the program also emphasizes system-level improvements, such as policy and operational changes that make it easier for patients to access treatment in both generalist and specialist settings.
The desired outcomes are framed in public health and health system terms: reducing alcohol and drug consumption and the negative health impacts that follow, increasing abstinence where appropriate, and lowering costly health care utilization by catching problems earlier and intervening before they escalate. The announcement also highlights sustainability and behavioral health information technology as priorities, signaling that applicants should be thinking about how SBIRT will continue after federal funding ends and how data systems, electronic tools, and reporting infrastructure can support ongoing screening, intervention, referral tracking, and quality improvement.
This SBIRT initiative is aligned with broader federal strategies, particularly the Office of National Drug Control Policy National Drug Control Strategy, which promotes integrating behavioral health with primary care through early screening and brief intervention, improving provider knowledge and use of SBI, and supporting reimbursement strategies so the services can be financially maintained. It is also positioned within SAMHSA's mission to reduce the impact of substance use and mental illness on communities and is tied to SAMHSA Strategic Initiatives, especially the Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness Strategic Initiative and the Health Reform Initiative. The program is further linked to Healthy People 2020 objectives in the Substance Abuse topic area.
Because SBIRT is treated as a services grant, SAMHSA makes it clear that the work is expected to move quickly. Grantees are expected to begin delivering services as soon as possible after award, with service delivery starting no later than the fourth month of the project. The legal authority for the program is Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. SAMHSA also strongly encourages grantees to maintain a smoke-free workplace and promote abstinence from tobacco products, with an exception for accepted tribal traditions and practices.
On the funding side, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement (meaning SAMHSA anticipates substantial federal involvement during the project). The opportunity number is TI-11-005 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 of $10,000,000 available. Awards ranged from a floor of $5 to a ceiling of $1,666,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted March 30, 2011, with an application deadline of May 24, 2011, and it was archived June 23, 2011.
Eligibility is limited to the immediate office of the Chief Executive (for example, the Governor) in States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, and to the highest-ranking official or duly authorized official of a federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribe or tribal organization as defined in the announcement. A key administrative requirement is that the Chief Executive or the highest-ranking Tribal official (or duly authorized official) must sign the application, though after the initial award the signatory and management responsibilities can be delegated to an appropriate State agency or official for continuation actions.
