Opportunity Summary:
The National Resource Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention (short title: YVP RC) was a FY 2013 cooperative agreement opportunity from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically its Center for Mental Health Services. The core idea was to fund a single national-level resource and training center that could strengthen how states, tribes, and communities prevent youth violence, prevent mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders, and promote healthy development for children and youth. Rather than funding direct local services in many places, this award focused on building national capacity: spreading what works, training and supporting grantees, and helping public systems use prevention research to shape policy and practice.
A major expectation of the YVP RC was to provide technical assistance to two major SAMHSA initiatives: Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) and Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health). In practical terms, the resource center was meant to help grantees and partner systems plan, implement, evaluate, and sustain comprehensive prevention approaches. That includes support for cross-system coordination (education, behavioral health, public health, justice, law enforcement, social services, and families/youth), the kinds of partnerships that SS/HS has emphasized since 1999 to prevent school violence and support positive youth development. It also includes assistance aligned with Project LAUNCH, which since FY 2008 has focused on building integrated early childhood systems so young children and families experience seamless supports that promote wellness, help children meet developmental milestones, and improve school readiness. The announcement highlights Project LAUNCH's "Five Core Strategies" as best-practice approaches for promoting young children's mental health across settings like primary care, early care and education, and the home.
The grant strongly emphasized a public health approach to prevention. That means using data to understand risk and protective factors, deploying evidence-informed strategies across populations, and building statewide prevention policies and programs that can be implemented consistently and improved over time. The YVP RC was intended to equip states, tribes, organizations, and communities with resources to reduce the impact of risk factors while boosting positive and protective factors for children, youth, young adults, and families. Another clear priority was addressing health disparities for racial and ethnic minority populations. Applicants were expected to intentionally support strategies that reduce gaps in prevalence, access to services, service use, and outcomes among underserved communities.
Funding for the program totaled an estimated $6,171,000, with the majority coming from the Youth Violence Prevention program ($4.599 million, about 74%) and the remainder from Project LAUNCH ($1.572 million, about 26%). SAMHSA anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling equal to the total estimated funding. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a more active federal role in the project compared with a standard grant, often involving substantial collaboration, guidance, or coordination with the agency during implementation.
Eligibility was limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities, and the statute prohibited awards to for-profit agencies. The opportunity was open to a wide range of nonprofits and public entities, including state and local governments; federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations (including consortia, with each participating entity documenting approval); urban Indian organizations; public or private universities and colleges; and community- and faith-based organizations. Current and former grantees were also specifically noted as eligible. The program was authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act (as amended) and aligned with Healthy People 2020 priorities in the Mental Health and Mental Disorders topic area.
Administratively, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM-13-007; CFDA 93.243) was posted May 28, 2013, with an application deadline of July 1, 2013, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. The SAMHSA grants management contact listed for access issues was Gwendolyn Simpson in the Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management.
