Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 State Youth Treatment Implementation (SYT I) opportunity is a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) cooperative agreement designed to help states, territories, and federally recognized tribes strengthen and expand how they deliver substance use disorder treatment and recovery supports for young people. The core goal is statewide access to evidence-based screening and assessment, treatment models, and recovery services for adolescents and/or transitional aged youth who have substance use disorders, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions. Rather than funding isolated programs, SYT I is built to reinforce and coordinate the broader youth-serving treatment and recovery system so that effective care is available consistently across a state and can be sustained.
Applicants can focus on adolescents ages 12 to 18 and their families or primary caregivers, transitional aged youth ages 16 to 25 and their families or primary caregivers, or both groups. If an applicant selects the transitional aged youth group, they are allowed to narrow the target range to a subset (for example, 16 to 18, 18 to 21, or 21 to 25) based on demonstrated need and local planning. This flexibility is meant to let states tailor implementation to their highest-need youth populations while still building a replicable statewide model.
A defining feature of SYT I is that it blends two things at the same time: infrastructure improvement and direct service delivery. On the infrastructure side, grantees are expected to bring together stakeholders from across the systems that touch the population of focus, such as behavioral health treatment providers, recovery support organizations, schools, vocational and workforce programs, juvenile justice, child welfare, primary care, and other youth-serving networks. The intent is to strengthen an existing coordinated network so it becomes more integrated and efficient. Activities described in the announcement emphasize expanding or enhancing treatment services, developing or refining policies, building workforce capacity, disseminating evidence-based practices, and putting financial mechanisms and related reforms in place that make youth treatment and recovery supports easier to access and sustain. The strengthened system is expected to function as a model within the state that can be replicated in additional communities over time.
The program is ultimately judged by client-level outcomes for the adolescents and transitional aged youth served. Expected outcomes include higher rates of abstinence, increased engagement in education, vocational training, and/or employment, stronger social connectedness, and reduced involvement with the criminal and juvenile justice systems. In addition to improving average outcomes, grantees are specifically expected to pay attention to equity by identifying and reducing disparities in access to care, service use, and outcomes among youth who are vulnerable to health disparities.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program in the health funding category. SAMHSA anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $9.6 million. The stated award ceiling is $800,000, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). For this cycle, the opportunity was posted February 3, 2015, with an application closing date of April 2, 2015, and an archive date of May 2, 2015.
Eligibility is limited to the entity within a state, territory, or federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribe or tribal organization that is responsible for leading treatment and recovery support services for the target youth population (adolescents and/or transitional aged youth with SUD or co-occurring disorders). If a state is proposing to serve both adolescents and transitional aged youth but the leadership responsibility sits in two different entities, those entities must work together to decide which one will be the official applicant, and they must also collaborate on carrying out the award requirements; the application must include documentation of that collaboration in Attachment 8. Tribal organizations and consortia of tribes or tribal organizations may apply, but consortia applications require each participating entity to formally indicate approval.
