As such, SAMHSA believes they are in the best position to ensure that individuals who are at high risk for or have a mental and/or substance use disorder and who are most at risk for or are living with HIV/AIDS have access to and receive appropriate behavioral health services (including prevention and treatment), HIV/AIDS care and medical treatment in integrated behavioral health and primary care settings (that may include infectious disease or other HIV specialty providers). This is also consistent with an important goal of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy To achieve a coordinated response to the HIV epidemic among funding streams and those organizations receiving Federal funds. The coordination of resources should improve services to clients and ensure that the client receives the full range of services necessary to for improved health. Eligible applicants are the following State/local health departments in the Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) and Metropolitan Divisions (MD) that received grants in Phase I of CDCs project, Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning (ECHPP) and Implementation for Metropolitan Statistical Areas Most Affected by HIV/AIDS. Please see RFA for a list of eligible applicants.

Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Minority AIDS Initiative Targeted Capacity Expansion (MAI TCE) Integrated Behavioral Health/Primary Care Network Cooperative Agreements is a SAMHSA funding opportunity designed to strengthen how HIV services, primary care, and behavioral health care work together in communities where HIV has hit hardest. The central aim is to build and expand culturally competent, integrated networks that can deliver coordinated services for substance use disorders, mental health needs, HIV prevention, HIV testing and counseling, and HIV medical care (including treatment) within racial and ethnic minority communities. The program is focused specifically on the 12 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and Metropolitan Divisions (MDs) most impacted by HIV/AIDS, with the broader intent of reducing HIV risk and new infections, improving behavioral health outcomes, and closing HIV-related health disparity gaps in those jurisdictions.
A core rationale behind the program is that untreated mental illness and substance use disorders can directly worsen HIV outcomes and increase HIV transmission risk. People struggling with these conditions often face barriers that can lead to poorer overall health, higher morbidity and mortality, reduced quality of life, and practical challenges like difficulty staying engaged in care or adhering to medication regimens. MAI TCE is structured to respond to those realities by ensuring that individuals who are at high risk for, or already experiencing, mental and/or substance use disorders and who are also at high risk for HIV or living with HIV can access timely, appropriate services in settings where primary care and behavioral health are integrated. These integrated settings may also include infectious disease clinicians or other HIV specialty providers, reflecting the expectation that grantees will create real clinical and operational links rather than run disconnected programs.
Another major feature is alignment with ongoing federal HIV prevention efforts in the same localities. The program explicitly supports integrating behavioral health services into the CDC-supported Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plans (ECHPP) in each of the 12 targeted MSAs/MDs. At the same time, it supports embedding HIV rapid testing and counseling into existing mental health and substance use treatment provider networks that serve racial and ethnic minority communities. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help local systems do a better job of meeting people where they already receive services, whether that is bringing behavioral health supports into HIV prevention and care plans or bringing HIV screening and counseling into behavioral health and substance use treatment environments.
The opportunity sits within several larger policy frameworks. It is part of the Congressional Minority AIDS Initiative, which was created to improve HIV-related outcomes among racial and ethnic minority populations that are disproportionately affected and to reduce health disparities tied to HIV. It also supports the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, HHS efforts such as the 12 Cities Project, and CDC initiatives carried out through ECHPP to reduce HIV incidence in the most affected areas. SAMHSA also frames MAI TCE as part of its Health Reform Strategic Initiative and links the work to Healthy People 2020 topic areas for mental health, substance abuse, and HIV.
On who should be served, SAMHSA requires that grantees devote most activities to racial and ethnic minority communities within the applicant MSA or MD. Grantees are strongly encouraged to prioritize the populations highlighted in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy when appropriate locally, including Black and Latino women and men, gay and bisexual men, transgender persons, and people who use substances. The announcement also recognizes that other populations may be especially impacted in particular jurisdictions, allowing applicants to prioritize additional groups (for example, American Indian/Alaska Native communities, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders) when that focus is supported by local epidemiological data.
The program is designed to move quickly from planning to real service delivery. Because MAI TCE includes funding for both infrastructure development and direct services, SAMHSA signals that it expects services to start as soon as possible after an award is made, with service delivery beginning no later than the start of the fourth project month. That expectation underscores that this is not meant to be a long planning-only effort; it is intended to rapidly strengthen integrated systems and increase access to care.
Administratively, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement (not a formula grant), meaning SAMHSA anticipates a more active federal role than in a standard grant, typically through collaboration, guidance, and oversight consistent with cooperative agreement mechanisms. The opportunity is authorized under Sections 509, 516, and 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, which support integrating substance use prevention, substance use treatment, and mental health services into primary care settings.
Funding details include an estimated total funding amount of $13,416,000, with an expected 12 awards and an award ceiling of $1,500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). The opportunity was posted April 29, 2011, with the application deadline extended to June 16, 2011, and an archive date of July 13, 2011.
Eligibility is tightly limited. SAMHSA restricted applicants to the twelve Phase I grantees funded under CDCs ECHPP and Implementation for MSAs most affected by HIV/AIDS. In practice, these are the state or local health departments in those 12 jurisdictions that were already leading cross-agency coordination under ECHPP. SAMHSA justifies this limitation by pointing to those grantees existing coordination infrastructure and partnerships across prevention, care, and treatment funding streams, positioning them to deliver a more coordinated response and to help clients access the full set of services needed for improved health outcomes.
