Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Targeted Capacity Expansion Peer to Peer (TCE PTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI 13 001) was offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, as a discretionary health grant program. Its central goal was to expand and strengthen community service capacity by funding addiction peer recovery support services for people living with substance use disorders. The program was built around the idea that peer-led and peer-delivered support can reach people in ways traditional systems often cannot, especially individuals who are disconnected from care or wary of formal treatment settings. A core expectation of the initiative was that people with lived experience of substance use and recovery would not just participate, but would play an integral role in designing, developing, and implementing the peer-to-peer approach.
The grant emphasized recovery as more than stopping substance use; it framed recovery as improving overall quality of life. SAMHSA highlighted several real-world outcomes to judge progress, including increased employment, improved housing stability, abstinence from substance use, stronger social connectedness, and reduced involvement with the criminal justice system. Consistent with SAMHSA's Strategic Initiative on Recovery Support, the program leaned on a peer model that "capitalizes on the expertise" of individuals who have navigated similar challenges themselves. That shared experience was presented as a practical tool for engagement, trust-building, and sustained motivation, opening nontraditional pathways to connect with vulnerable populations who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
The opportunity also aligned with SAMHSA's broader recovery framework built around the domains of health, home, purpose, and community. In practice, this meant applicants were expected to think beyond clinical services alone and ensure participants could access supports that stabilize day-to-day life and help sustain recovery over time. The grant was part of SAMHSA's services grant portfolio, which carries an expectation of rapid implementation. SAMHSA stated that funded projects should begin delivering services as soon as possible after award, with service delivery starting no later than the fourth month of the project period.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, SAMHSA anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $7,000,000. Individual awards had a ceiling of $250,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program was listed under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services - Projects of Regional and National Significance). The application window opened with a posted date of January 24, 2013, and closed on March 15, 2013, with an archive date of April 14, 2013.
Eligibility was limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities, reflecting a statutory prohibition on grants to for-profit agencies. Eligible applicants included state and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private colleges and universities, and community- and faith-based organizations. The announcement included a detailed definition of "tribal organization" and noted that consortia of tribes or tribal organizations could apply, as long as each participating entity documented its approval. The grants were authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and the announcement was tied to the Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse topic area (HP 2020 SA), signaling its connection to national public health goals related to substance use and recovery.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, SAMHSA provided a grants management contact: Eileen Bermudez, Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management, located in Rockville, Maryland, with phone and email contact information included in the notice.
