- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Eligible applicants are States (Including D.C. and the Territories) Federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations (as defined in the Indian Self Determination and Educational Assistance Act), or urban Indian organizations (as defined in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act) that are actively involved in the development and continuation of a tribal youth suicide early intervention and prevention strategy. Public or private non profit organizations designated by a state, federally recognized Indian tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization, to develop or direct the State/tribal sponsored youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategy. The letter designating your organization should be included in Attachment 5 of your application. In order for your application to be considered for peer review, applicants must submit a letter designating your organization. No single state agency is mandated to be the lead for state and tribal Youth Suicide Prevention grants, as states differ in which state agency has taken the lead for suicide prevention (e.g., Department of Health, Department of Mental Health). Where states have a plan that designates a lead agency, that agency should act as the lead or should designate an alternative lead for the State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grant. If the state plan does not designate a lead agency, justify the selection of the lead agency for this application. States and/or tribes who have been previous recipients of a State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention grant award are eligible to apply under this funding announcement. You are required to address how this grant award will build on and/or expand the work of the previous grant award(s) and not simply continuing what was done. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for profit agencies.

Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Cooperative Agreements for State Sponsored Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention, offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) within the Center for Mental Health Services, is a discretionary health grant program designed to help states and tribal communities build or strengthen comprehensive youth suicide prevention and early intervention efforts. The central goal is to support the development and implementation of statewide or tribal strategies that are coordinated across systems and rooted in strong public/private collaboration, rather than isolated projects operating within a single agency or setting.
A defining feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on cross-sector partnerships among the organizations that regularly interact with young people. Applicants are expected to bring together youth-serving institutions and agencies, including schools and other educational settings, juvenile justice systems, foster care and child welfare systems, substance use and mental health programs, and a broad range of child- and youth-supporting organizations. The program also highlights the importance of involving families and youth themselves in planning and implementation, reflecting an approach that treats suicide prevention as a shared community responsibility and not just a clinical service issue.
The grant’s intended outcomes are practical and workforce-oriented, focused on improving the capacity of communities to recognize risk early and connect youth to appropriate help. SAMHSA expects funded states, tribes, and communities to increase the number of staff in youth-serving organizations who are trained to identify and refer young people at risk for suicide, and to increase the number of health, mental health, and substance use providers trained to assess, manage, and treat youth at risk. Beyond training, the program aims to increase the number of youth who are actually identified as being at risk, increase the number who are referred to behavioral health services, and increase the number who ultimately receive behavioral health care. Another explicit expectation is greater promotion of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline as a key access point for support and crisis response.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number SM-13-010 and CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $2,642,283. The award ceiling was $440,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted on May 14, 2013, with an application deadline of June 13, 2013, and an archive date of July 13, 2013.
Eligibility is broad within the public-sector and nonprofit sphere but explicitly excludes for-profit entities due to statutory restrictions. Eligible applicants include U.S. states (including Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories), federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations as defined in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, and urban Indian organizations as defined in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, provided they are actively involved in developing and sustaining a tribal youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategy. In addition, public or private nonprofit organizations may apply if they are formally designated by an eligible state, tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization to develop or direct the state/tribal strategy. A key procedural requirement is that designated nonprofits must include a formal designation letter in the application (specified as Attachment 5); without that letter, the application would not move forward to peer review.
The announcement also clarifies that there is flexibility in which entity serves as the lead agency, recognizing that states structure suicide prevention leadership differently (for example, through a Department of Health or Department of Mental Health). If a state plan already names a lead agency, that agency is expected to serve as the lead or formally designate another lead. If the plan does not identify a lead, the applicant must justify why the proposed lead agency is appropriate. Previous recipients of these state/tribal youth suicide prevention awards are allowed to apply again, but they must explain how the new proposal will build on or expand prior work rather than simply continuing the same activities.
