Opportunity Summary:
The Technical Assistance Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention (TAC MHPYVP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM-09-010) is a SAMHSA discretionary cooperative agreement intended to supplement and expand an existing national technical assistance effort tied to Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions to Unmet Needs of Children's Health). The purpose of the supplement is to extend and strengthen technical assistance services for Project LAUNCH grantees, including the cohort of new grantees expected to be funded in FY 2009, while continuing to support earlier Project LAUNCH sites. In practical terms, the funding is not aimed at launching new direct-service programs in communities; it is designed to bolster the centralized infrastructure that helps Project LAUNCH communities implement prevention and promotion strategies more effectively, operate more efficiently, and sustain integrated systems of care over time.
Project LAUNCH itself is built around a community vision where families can access a seamless network of local programs, supports, and services that promote healthy early childhood development and supportive family environments. The program funds localities through state agencies to plan, build, and improve comprehensive prevention and promotion approaches spanning health and behavioral health. A key feature is cross-system administration: local efforts are expected to be driven by partnerships that connect mental health, primary health care, substance abuse prevention, social services, and early childhood/elementary education. Because that kind of coordination is complex and varies by community context, the TAC’s role is to help sites translate the model into workable plans, operations, and collaborative routines that align with Project LAUNCH goals.
Under this supplement, the TAC MHPYVP is expected to deliver a broad, multifaceted package of technical assistance across many topic areas relevant to early childhood mental health promotion and youth violence prevention. Core activities include: providing centralized administration and coordination for all technical assistance services; offering site-specific support as well as cross-site learning opportunities; delivering assistance through multiple formats and media (for example, remote consultation, peer learning structures, tools and templates, and other scalable supports); and creating systematic ways to identify, develop, and share best practices and resources across all Project LAUNCH grantees. The TAC is also expected to demonstrate strong competency in addressing diversity in its technical assistance approach, with explicit attention to factors such as age, gender, and culture, ensuring guidance is relevant to the populations and communities served.
The opportunity also emphasizes relationship-building and communication support as part of strengthening implementation. This includes creating linkages between Project LAUNCH grantees and key state-level leadership roles, specifically state mental health directors and state child and maternal health directors, which can help align local work with state priorities and improve long-term sustainability. In addition, the TAC is expected to provide communications technical assistance so grantees can better share goals, progress, and outcomes with partners, stakeholders, and the broader public, supporting both accountability and buy-in across systems.
Eligibility is restricted to a single applicant: Education Development Center, Inc., the current operator of the Youth Violence Prevention Technical Assistance Center, which is the existing grantee under the TAC MHPYVP cooperative agreement. SAMHSA limits eligibility because the funding is a supplement intended to expand services for the newly funded FY 2009 Project LAUNCH sites using the current technical assistance infrastructure. The rationale presented is that awarding the supplement to a different organization would create duplication and inefficiency by establishing parallel technical assistance structures rather than leveraging the existing center’s systems and experience.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, SAMHSA anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is health, the CFDA number is 93.243 (SAMHSA Projects of Regional and National Significance), and the cooperative agreement is authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The announcement aligns with Healthy People 2010 focus area 18, which addresses mental health and mental disorders. The posting date was March 25, 2009, with an application closing date of April 23, 2009, and the announcement archived on May 23, 2009.
For official questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed government contact was Gwendolyn Simpson in SAMHSA’s Division of Grants Management (Office of Program Services), based in Rockville, Maryland, with contact information provided in the notice.
