- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $100,000.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 8 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Eligible applicants are SAMHSA Network grantees in the nine states where there is a RCSP SN award and either one or both a Statewide Consumer Network and Statewide Family Network (see Appendix J). The purpose of this program is to link formal statewide substance abuse recovery networks with formal statewide networks representing mental health consumers and families to represent a single voice for behavioral health statewide. SAMHSA s current Recovery Community Services Program Statewide Networks (RCSP SNs), Statewide Consumer Networks (SCNs), and Statewide Family Networks (SFNs) have been working throughout their states to establish sustainable mechanisms that promote systems change in mental health and substance abuse recovery service delivery. Because these grantees have established networks in place in their respective domains, they are best positioned to link these networks in order to increase access to and quality of behavioral health systems, services, treatment and recovery supports statewide. Only SAMHSA Network grantees in the nine states with a RCSP SN award (see Appendix J) may apply because only these states have the requisite substance abuse recovery and mental health networks to link. Only one application may be submitted per state.

Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Statewide Peer Network Development Program for Recovery and Resiliency Grants, offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through its Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) and Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is a discretionary grant opportunity focused on building stronger, more unified peer-led leadership across a state. Its central aim is to improve statewide behavioral health systems by connecting and coordinating the organized voices of people in mental health recovery, people in addiction recovery, and families and youth impacted by serious emotional disturbance. Rather than creating entirely new peer organizations from scratch, the program is designed to link existing SAMHSA-funded statewide networks so they can operate in a more aligned way and push for meaningful, recovery-focused and resiliency-oriented systems change.
At the heart of the program is the idea that many states already have separate SAMHSA-supported networks serving different communities, such as Recovery Community Services Program Statewide Networks (RCSP SNs) for addiction recovery, Statewide Consumer Networks (SCNs) representing mental health consumers, and Statewide Family Networks (SFNs) representing families of children with serious emotional disturbance and youth/young adults. This grant pushes those networks to intentionally bridge their work so they can represent a more coordinated, statewide peer perspective on behavioral health. The goal is not just cooperation in principle, but practical collaboration that improves access to services and raises the quality of treatment and recovery supports across systems that often operate separately, such as mental health, substance use treatment, child-serving systems, and community supports.
The grant emphasizes building a formal collaborative that is self-sustaining and empowered, with a clear expectation that participating networks will strengthen peer voice and influence at both the state and local levels. SAMHSA frames this as strengthening the voices of mental health consumers, family members and youth, and individuals in addiction recovery, while also working to ensure that services and supports across the state are more empowering, self-directed, resilience-oriented, and supportive of full community life for people with behavioral health needs. In practical terms, applicants are expected to use the funding to increase the capacity of these networks to drive policy and practice improvements, elevate peer leadership, and expand recovery-oriented infrastructure that can outlast the grant period.
A distinctive feature of the opportunity is the requirement for intentional joint planning and shared operations among the networks. SAMHSA describes this as a new effort in which RCSP SNs, SFNs, and SCNs within a state develop collaborative efforts through tools like Memoranda of Agreement and by sharing fiscal resources. The collaboration is expected to produce a strategic plan, coordinate resource-sharing, and carry out cross-training so that the peer workforce and network leadership can operate more effectively across service systems. The broader purpose of these activities is to increase the collaborative's ability to influence statewide and local behavioral health systems change and, ultimately, improve behavioral health outcomes for people in recovery from serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders, as well as for family members of children with serious emotional disturbances and youth/young adults.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Only SAMHSA Network grantees in nine states where there is an existing RCSP SN award and either one or both of a Statewide Consumer Network and Statewide Family Network are eligible to apply (as referenced in the announcement's Appendix J). SAMHSA limits eligibility this way because these states already have the core network infrastructure in both substance use recovery and mental health/family peer domains, making them "best positioned" to link networks quickly and effectively. There is also a one-application-per-state rule, reinforcing that this is meant to be a unified statewide effort rather than multiple competing proposals from the same state.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a contract) with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000 and an expected eight awards. The award ceiling is $100,000, with no stated minimum award floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is SM-14-023, and it is listed under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). The application window for this archived FY 2014 opportunity opened with a posted date of June 6, 2014, and a closing date of August 7, 2014, with an archive date of September 6, 2014.
The program is authorized under Sections 509 and 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and it aligns with Healthy People 2020 priority areas for both Substance Abuse (HP 2020 SA) and Mental Health and Mental Disorders (HP 2020 MHMD). That alignment reflects SAMHSA's intent that statewide peer network collaboration is not just a community engagement activity, but a strategy to advance population-level behavioral health goals by improving how systems function and how well they respond to people seeking recovery and resiliency supports.
