- Eligible applicants are medical residency programs and public and private universities and colleges that have or are affiliated with programs for nursing and/or social work and/or counseling. Eligibility is restricted to these entities because they train health professionals who are most likely to implement SBIRT services to persons at risk of SUDs. These programs have the capacity and structure to train health care personnel in delivering SBIRT services to clients across the range of medical service provision. Data from SAMHSA s SBIRT cross site evaluations have shown that the vast majority of clinical providers of SBIRT services are nurses, counselors and social workers, with the role of the physician as leading the effort through clinical work, advocacy and supervising SBIRT in medical settings. SAMHSA believes that these entities have the necessary expertise and teaching structure to best provide training of these health care professionals in delivering SBIRT clinical services. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for profit agencies.

Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Medical Professional Training Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through its Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The program is designed to strengthen the health care workforce by building practical, evidence-based SBIRT skills into the training pipeline for key clinical professions. The central idea is to help future and current health professionals identify risky substance use early, respond with brief interventions or brief treatment when appropriate, and connect patients to specialty substance use disorder (SUD) treatment when needed. In practice, this means moving substance use screening and early intervention upstream into everyday health care settings, rather than relying only on specialty treatment programs that may be unavailable, hard to access, or not well suited for people who have not yet developed severe SUD.
The focus of the grants is training, not direct service expansion as the primary goal. Funded applicants are expected to develop and implement structured training programs that teach SBIRT competencies to medical residents and to students in nursing, social work, and counseling. The opportunity reflects findings from SAMHSA SBIRT cross-site evaluation work (including the SBIRT Cohort I Cross Site Evaluation Final Report, 2010), which showed that many day-to-day SBIRT services in real clinical environments are delivered by nurses, counselors, and social workers, while physicians often play a leadership role through clinical oversight, advocacy, and supervision of SBIRT implementation in medical settings. Because of that workforce reality, SAMHSA aimed these grants at the academic and residency programs that prepare those professionals, emphasizing both classroom-based instruction (didactic training) and hands-on practice in clinical environments.
A notable requirement is that grantees must use SBIRT training curricula developed by the initial cohort of SAMHSA SBIRT Medical Residency grantees. This is meant to standardize training quality and ensure that what is taught aligns with approaches that have already been developed and tested within SAMHSA-supported initiatives. Another key expectation is sustainability within the academic structure: SAMHSA anticipates that SBIRT will be embedded as a recurring component of the education curriculum for the identified programs each academic year for the entire grant period, rather than being treated as a one-time workshop or optional add-on.
The intended outcomes are broadly system-oriented. SAMHSA is looking for increased adoption and routine practice of SBIRT across the health care delivery system, supported by a larger pool of clinicians who are competent and comfortable delivering screening and brief interventions and making effective referrals. The program also supports broader federal health priorities, including the Affordable Care Act emphasis on team-based care and the integration of behavioral health with medical care. In addition, the grant is positioned as part of SAMHSA's Health Reform Strategic Initiative and is intended to expand access for people vulnerable to health disparities, reflecting a concern that underserved communities may face higher barriers to early identification and treatment linkage.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $3,770,000 available, with an expectation of 12 awards. The award ceiling is $314,661, and there is no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is TI 13 002, and the CFDA number listed is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). The opportunity was posted April 19, 2013, with an application closing date of June 5, 2013, and an archive date of July 5, 2013. The grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and the announcement aligns with Healthy People 2020 goals in the Substance Abuse topic area.
Eligibility is intentionally limited to organizations that train the professionals most likely to deliver SBIRT in practice. Eligible applicants include medical residency programs and public or private universities and colleges that have, or are affiliated with, programs in nursing, social work, and/or counseling. The statutory authority for this program explicitly prohibits grants to for-profit agencies, so for-profit entities cannot apply. The rationale for the eligibility restriction is that these educational and residency settings already have the instructional infrastructure, faculty oversight, and clinical placement opportunities needed to teach SBIRT skills and to prepare trainees to use them across the range of medical service settings.
