Opportunity Summary:
This SAMHSA grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI 15 008) offered a two-year supplemental award to expand the work of the Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) program by creating a dedicated Center of Excellence (CoE) focused on behavioral health services for pregnant and postpartum women (PPW) and their families. Administered by SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), the supplement was designed to build on the existing ATTC infrastructure and partnerships to quickly strengthen the workforce that delivers addiction treatment and recovery support services to PPW, their children, and family systems. The core idea is workforce development: improving what providers know and can do, and helping them implement evidence-based and promising practices within recovery-oriented systems of care.
Eligibility was intentionally narrow. Only organizations that were already SAMHSA FY 2012 ATTC grantees could apply. SAMHSA justified this limitation by emphasizing speed and continuity: current ATTC grantees already had the staffing, regional or national networks, stakeholder relationships, and operational capacity to stand up a Center of Excellence without a long startup period or gaps in services. The program anticipated making one award total, meaning this was a single-recipient supplement rather than a broad, competitive multi-award program.
The planned CoE deliverables centered on developing and spreading a PPW family-centered approach through a structured curriculum and toolkit. In year 1, the main task was development: gathering, organizing, and assessing existing research, guidance, and on-the-ground resources relevant to treating substance use disorders and supporting recovery for pregnant and postpartum women in a way that is responsive to parenting and family needs. This first year emphasized synthesis and curation, with the expectation that the CoE would turn scattered materials and emerging evidence into a coherent, usable training package for practitioners and systems.
In year 2, the emphasis shifted from development to implementation and reach. The CoE was expected to deliver training both in person and online and to actively disseminate the finalized PPW curriculum/toolkit. Dissemination targets included treatment and service agencies, other technical assistance and training providers, educational institutions that prepare the behavioral health workforce, and individual practitioners who would adopt the approach in real-world settings. This structure reflects a common ATTC model: identify workforce needs, translate evidence into practical training products, and use technology transfer methods to drive adoption at scale.
In terms of program context, this supplement sat within the larger ATTC network that SAMHSA funds to support regional and national workforce development. At the time of the announcement, SAMHSA described funding 10 regional ATTCs, four national-focus ATTCs, and one national coordinating office, collectively intended to strengthen addiction treatment and recovery support capacity across the country. The PPW Center of Excellence was positioned as a specialized extension of that network, concentrating expertise on the clinical and recovery-support challenges unique to pregnancy and the postpartum period, while keeping a family-centered frame that includes children and broader family supports.
Key administrative details include: the opportunity was categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). It had no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The total estimated funding and award ceiling were both listed as $365,026 (with an award floor of $0), indicating SAMHSA expected to fund up to that amount for the single supplement. The funding notice was posted March 6, 2015, with an application closing date of May 11, 2015, and the opportunity archived June 10, 2015. For applicants needing access help, the notice provided a grants management contact at SAMHSA (Eileen Bermudez) with phone and email information.
