Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (SM-11-012) is a one-year supplemental cooperative agreement offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to strengthen and expand work already underway through the Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration (PBHCI) program. The central aim is to help existing PBHCI grantees adopt and better use interoperable, certified electronic health record (EHR) systems so they can more quickly and accurately identify a patients behavioral health needs alongside primary care needs. In practical terms, the supplement is designed to make integrated care easier to deliver by ensuring that key clinical information can be documented, shared, and acted on across settings, rather than being trapped in separate systems.
The opportunity is rooted in the idea that people with serious mental illnesses and individuals with substance use disorders, including co-occurring disorders, often experience poorer overall physical health and face fragmented care. Historically, specialty behavioral health providers have frequently operated apart from the broader medical system and have not always had comparable health IT capacity. SAMHSA frames this supplement as a way to close that gap by improving health information exchange between behavioral health providers funded under PBHCI and physical health providers. With more connected records and better data flow, providers can coordinate prevention, screening, treatment planning, follow-up, and referrals more effectively, while also tracking outcomes in a timely way.
A major emphasis is on prevention and whole-person care. The announcement ties the work to the Draft National Prevention Strategy, highlighting that integrated EHR adoption can support prevention services that bridge primary care and behavioral health. By documenting and tracking preventive efforts across both environments, grantees can better monitor progress on measures like screenings, risk factor management, and other preventive interventions that affect long-term health outcomes. The intended result is improved overall health status for people served by PBHCI projects through a coordinated approach to prevention and treatment, supported by stronger clinical information infrastructure.
Eligibility is narrow by design: only current PBHCI grantees can apply. SAMHSA explains that this restriction is meant to ensure recipients can move quickly, since the supplement lasts only one year and depends on existing operational capacity and partnerships. The agency expects current PBHCI sites already have the foundational relationships and service models in place to rapidly implement the HIT-focused activities required under the cooperative agreement.
The total estimated funding for the program is $11.2 million, with an expected 56 awards. Individual awards can be up to $200,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted May 4, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and it was archived July 20, 2011. The assistance listing is under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance), and the activity category is Health.
Strategically, SAMHSA positions the supplement as supporting two of its agency priorities at the time: Strategic Initiative #5 (Health Reform) and Strategic Initiative #6 (Health Information Technology). Legally, the program is authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. It also aligns with Healthy People 2020 topic areas focused on Mental Health and Mental Disorders (MHMD) and Substance Abuse (SA), reinforcing that the technology upgrades are not an end in themselves, but a means to improve measurable health outcomes for high-need populations.
