Opportunity Summary:
The Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems (CFDA 84.215M) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Education. Its central goal is to increase student access to high-quality mental health care by supporting new and innovative ways to connect school systems with local mental health systems. In practical terms, the program is meant to help schools and community mental health providers work together more effectively so students can get the right services faster, with fewer barriers and better coordination.
The official source for requirements, priorities, performance measures, and application rules is the Notice Inviting Applications published in the Federal Register. The summary provided in the opportunity listing is only a synopsis, and applicants are expected to rely on the Federal Register notice for the full set of instructions, eligibility details, and submission requirements. Free public access to the Federal Register and federal regulations is available online through GPO Access.
For FY 2009, the Department anticipated making about 15 awards. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute a specified amount of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though the official notice may still discuss expectations around sustainability or leveraging partnerships). The funding opportunity number associated with this competition was ED-GRANTS-011209-001, and it was categorized as an education-related discretionary grant.
Eligibility was limited to specific public entities: State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law, and Indian tribes. The listing also notes that there were additional eligibility requirements included elsewhere in the Notice Inviting Applications under the section describing additional requirements, so being in an eligible category alone was not necessarily the only condition; applicants needed to confirm that they met all program-specific requirements spelled out in the Federal Register notice.
Applications were made available on January 12, 2009, and the deadline to submit applications was February 23, 2009, with the opportunity archived on March 25, 2009. The Department directed applicants to submit electronically through Grants.gov. The process required downloading the application package, completing it offline, and then uploading it for submission through the Grants.gov portal. Applications could not be submitted by email. A key technical detail in the listing is that applicants had to search Grants.gov using the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they needed to search for 84.215 rather than 84.215M to find the correct application package.
For help with submission or access issues, the listing provided two levels of contacts: the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 for technical support, and Department of Education contacts for program and announcement access questions. The notice listed Julius Cotton as a Grants.gov/FIND system administrator contact (phone 202-245-6140, email julius.cotton@ed.gov) for difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, and Sarah Allen as the program manager (phone 202-245-7875) at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC, for program-related questions.
