Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Grants to Expand the Use of Technology Assisted Care in Targeted Areas of Need" (Funding Opportunity Number TI 13 008) is a discretionary grant program run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under CFDA 93.243, which covers Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance. Its core aim is to help substance abuse treatment providers expand or strengthen their capacity to serve people who are already in treatment but are still effectively underserved because they cannot reliably access care in their own communities. The announcement points to several common barriers driving that lack of access, including transportation problems, too few local treatment providers, and financial constraints that make consistent in-person participation difficult.

The main strategy the program promotes is the adoption and expanded use of Technology Assisted Care (TAC). In practical terms, SAMHSA is encouraging providers to use technology tools such as web-based services, smartphones, and behavioral health electronic applications (often described as e-apps) to extend the reach of treatment beyond traditional clinic walls. The intent is not simply to add gadgets, but to improve how providers communicate with clients in treatment and to strengthen the ability to track, monitor, and manage health and recovery-related needs over time. By supporting technology-enabled touchpoints, the program is designed to make treatment and supportive services more available "where and when needed," which is especially important for people who struggle to attend frequent in-person appointments or who live in areas with limited provider availability.

Funding for this opportunity was estimated at $3,640,000 total, with an anticipated 13 awards. Individual awards could be as high as $280,000, and there was no stated award floor. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for organizations that have limited ability to contribute additional non-federal resources.

Eligibility is focused on domestic public and private nonprofit entities. Examples listed in the announcement include state and local governments; federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations; urban Indian organizations; public or private universities and colleges; and community- and faith-based organizations. This broad eligibility suggests SAMHSA intended the program to be used by a range of organizations that either provide treatment directly or can support treatment delivery through partnerships, infrastructure, or service expansion.

Key administrative details reflect that this was a time-limited solicitation. The opportunity was posted on February 8, 2013, created on March 19, 2013, and had an application closing date of April 10, 2013, with an archive date of May 10, 2013. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health, consistent with its focus on substance use treatment access and service delivery improvements through technology.

For applicants or interested parties who needed help obtaining the full announcement at the time, the listed contact was Eileen Bermudez in SAMHSA's Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management, located in Rockville, Maryland, with both phone and email contact information provided.
