- Eligible applicants are Single State Agencies (SSA) within states/territories and the District of Columbia Note The application should be signed by the SSA for Substance Abuse. and Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and tribal organizations. 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.

Eligibility is limited to the SSA in the state/territory and the District of Columbia, and the highest ranking official and/or the duly authorized official of a federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribe. In addition to providing evidence based treatment services to adolescents and transitional aged youth, this program is designed to bring together stakeholders across the systems serving these populations of focus to develop and/or enhance a coordinated network that will develop policies, expand workforce capacity, bring evidence based practices to scale statewide, and implement financial mechanisms and other reforms to improve the integration and efficiency of the adolescent substance use, co occurring substance use and mental health disorders treatment, and recovery support system. SSAs are in the unique position to coordinate these efforts because they have authority to coordinate agencies across the state/territory/tribe, implement policy changes, and develop financing structures necessary for the program. Although community based treatment providers play a pivotal supporting role in adolescent and transitional aged youth treatment and services, they are not the catalysts for cross agency coordination, workforce development, or licensure/certification/credentialing at the state/territorial/tribal level. Therefore, public and private non profit entities and community based treatment providers are not eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. In addition, states/territories/tribes, which received awards under TI 12 006, Cooperative Agreements for State Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination, are not eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.

Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Cooperative Agreements for State Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination is a SAMHSA/CSAT funding opportunity (FOA: TI-13-014; CFDA 93.243) aimed at helping states, territories, and federally recognized tribes strengthen and modernize how they deliver substance use disorder treatment and recovery supports for adolescents and transitional aged youth. The central idea is to fund a state or tribal lead agency to build a "learning laboratory" that pairs system-level leadership with real-world implementation at the provider level, so that an evidence-based practice (EBP) can be put into routine use, service delivery can be improved quickly, and lessons learned can be fed back into policy, financing, and workforce changes that make those improvements sustainable.
The program is built around two tightly connected pieces: infrastructure development at the state/territory/tribe level and direct service delivery at the local level. On the infrastructure side, grantees are expected to convene and align stakeholders across the systems that touch young people, including substance use treatment, mental health, recovery supports, education, vocational services, and justice-related systems. The goal is to create or enhance a coordinated statewide (or tribal) network that can set shared policies, improve procedures, expand workforce capacity, and put in place financing mechanisms that work in the current healthcare environment. A key deliverable is a practical assessment and treatment blueprint that can be used across the jurisdiction to spread effective EBPs beyond the initial pilot sites.
On the service side, each grantee is expected to select two local community-based treatment provider sites to implement and expand family-informed, family-centered EBPs for adolescents and/or transitional aged youth with substance use disorders, including co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. Applicants can decide, based on local need, whether their service focus will be adolescents ages 12-18, transitional aged youth ages 18-24, or both groups, and services can also be provided to families and primary caregivers. The program emphasizes a real-time feedback loop between the state/tribal lead and the provider sites so barriers can be identified quickly, solutions can be tested while services are actively being delivered, and the results can inform broader system reforms.
SAMHSA also spells out the kinds of outcomes it expects to see at the client level for youth who receive grant-funded services. These include higher rates of abstinence, improved engagement in school, vocational training, and/or employment, stronger social connectedness, and reduced involvement with the juvenile justice system. Another explicit expectation is that grantees will examine and reduce disparities in access, service use, and outcomes among adolescents and transitional aged youth who are vulnerable to health disparities, making equity a required part of the performance focus rather than an optional add-on.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning SAMHSA anticipates substantial federal involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant relationship. It is also positioned as an infrastructure-and-services program, with a clear expectation that services begin quickly after award; SAMHSA indicates service delivery should start no later than the sixth month of the project. The program is authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act and aligns with Healthy People 2020 objectives in the Substance Abuse topic area, as well as SAMHSA's broader health reform strategic priorities related to expanding and improving treatment and recovery systems.
Funding details reflect a mid-sized national competition: SAMHSA anticipated around 10 awards with an estimated total funding level of about $9.5 million and an award ceiling of $950,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The application window for this archived FY 2013 opportunity opened March 27, 2013 and closed May 22, 2013, with an archive date of June 21, 2013. Eligible applicants were limited to the Single State Agency (SSA) for Substance Abuse in states, territories, and DC, and federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes or tribal organizations (including consortia, with documented approvals). Community-based providers and other nonprofit entities could participate as implementation partners but could not apply as the primary applicant, because the FOA is designed around the authority and coordinating role of the SSA or tribal leadership to make cross-agency policy, financing, and system changes. States/territories/tribes that had already received awards under the prior TI-12-006 version of this program were not eligible to apply again under this FY 2013 announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the FY 2013 Cooperative Agreements for State Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination opportunity?
This funding opportunity is a SAMHSA/CSAT cooperative agreement (FOA: TI-13-014; CFDA: 93.243) designed to help states, territories, and federally recognized tribes strengthen and modernize substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery supports for adolescents and transitional aged youth. The goal is to speed up real-world adoption of evidence-based practices (EBPs) while also making the policy, financing, and workforce changes needed to sustain improvements.
Who is the federal sponsor for this program?
The sponsor is SAMHSA, through CSAT (the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment).
What makes this a "cooperative agreement" instead of a standard grant?
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means SAMHSA expects substantial federal involvement during implementation. It is not intended to be a hands-off grant; SAMHSA anticipates being actively involved as the project is carried out.
What is the core program model (the "learning laboratory")?
The program funds a state or tribal lead agency to create a "learning laboratory" that links system-level leadership with provider-level implementation. The idea is to put an EBP into routine use at community-based provider sites, improve services quickly through real-time feedback, and then use lessons learned to drive broader policy, financing, and workforce changes that sustain and spread the improvements.
What are the two main components of the program?
The program has two tightly connected components: (1) infrastructure development at the state/territory/tribe level and (2) direct service delivery at the local provider level.
What is expected on the infrastructure (state/tribal) side?
Grantees are expected to convene and align stakeholders across the systems that affect young people, including substance use treatment, mental health, recovery supports, education, vocational services, and justice-related systems.
