Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2012 grant opportunity from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services, funds the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI) National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS), listed as Category I. The overall aim is to improve the quality, effectiveness, and availability of trauma-focused treatment and services for children and adolescents who experience or witness traumatic events, and to strengthen supports for their families. In practice, this is a national infrastructure and leadership award meant to push better trauma care across the country by organizing a coordinated network, spreading proven tools and practices, and expanding training and education so more systems can respond effectively to child trauma.
Category I (the NCCTS) serves as the central hub of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). The Center is expected to develop and maintain the Network's collaborative structure, support the creation and distribution of resources, and coordinate national education and training efforts related to child trauma. The opportunity emphasizes building and sustaining a national network of grantees that work together to develop, adapt, evaluate, and disseminate effective community-based practices for diverse trauma exposures. Congress also provided $1 million specifically earmarked for data analysis and reporting activities, with the intent of strengthening evidence-based practices and raising the overall standard of trauma care through better measurement, learning, and accountability.
The announcement places the NCCTS within a broader three-part Network model. Category I is the national coordinating Center. Category II, called Treatment and Service Adaptation (TSA) Centers, provide specialized national expertise for particular trauma types, populations, or service systems and help adapt effective treatments so they can be used widely. Category III, called Community Treatment and Services (CTS) Centers, are primarily community-based service programs that implement and evaluate effective treatments in real-world settings and collaborate across the Network on clinical approaches, training, policy, and financing issues. While applicants may submit applications to multiple NCTSI categories, if an applicant is selected for more than one, SAMHSA will make an award in only one of the programs.
Strategically, SAMHSA frames this program as part of its Trauma and Justice Strategic Initiative and its larger view that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention and treatment work, and recovery is possible. The grant is meant to advance a public health approach to trauma by strengthening surveillance, prevention, screening, and treatment, and by supporting trauma-informed systems. A notable priority population highlighted in the announcement is military families, based on evidence that children of deployed military personnel experience higher levels of school, family, and peer-related emotional difficulties compared to national samples.
A key expectation is alignment with SAMHSA's evolving work on trauma-informed care. SAMHSA indicates it will be developing a formal definition and standardized criteria for trauma-informed care, along with guidance for adapting those criteria to different systems and sectors. Grantees are encouraged to participate in that process and will be expected to align program activities with the resulting definition and criteria, reinforcing consistent national standards for trauma-informed practice.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement (not a formula grant), with an expected single award. The estimated total funding is $6,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $6,000,000 (with no stated award floor). The CFDA number is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). There is no cost sharing or match requirement. The opportunity was posted May 17, 2012, with an application closing date of June 20, 2012, and an archive date of July 20, 2012.
Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. Examples include state and local governments; federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations; urban Indian organizations; public or private universities and colleges; and community- and faith-based organizations. Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations may apply if each participating entity documents approval. For-profit entities are not eligible due to statutory restrictions. Applications are subject to basic submission and formatting requirements, and SAMHSA notes that failure to include required federal forms (such as the SF-424, SF-424A, project/performance site locations form, lobbying disclosure if applicable, and the specified checklist) will result in the application being screened out and not reviewed.
The program is authorized under Section 582 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and it is aligned with Healthy People 2020 objectives in the Mental Health and Mental Disorders topic area.
