Opportunity Summary:
The Workforce Development to Increase Access to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services among Minority Populations grant opportunity is a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) initiative designed to strengthen the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment workforce so providers are better prepared to engage racial and ethnic minority communities in medication assisted treatment. It offers a one-year supplement to build on the existing Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) program that was originally funded in FY 2007. The core idea is straightforward: develop culturally competent training and practical outreach tools that community-based treatment providers can use right away to improve awareness of MAT, address misconceptions and stigma, and reduce barriers that keep people from starting and staying in evidence-based medication treatment.
The opportunity is driven by documented disparities in both the harms associated with drug use and in access to care. SAMHSA highlights that ethnic minority populations can experience more severe consequences of substance use, including higher rates of drug-related involvement with the criminal justice system and higher HIV burden linked to injection drug use. Among people who inject drugs, HIV and Hepatitis C prevalence is higher among African Americans and Latinos compared with Whites. At the same time, opiate-dependent minorities are less likely to access methadone maintenance treatment than Whites, and some research points to negative perceptions about methadone and perceived barriers to treatment among out-of-treatment African American and Latino injection drug users. SAMHSA notes that more research is still needed on attitudes, understanding, utilization patterns, and outcomes for MAT (including medications for opioid use disorder and alcohol pharmacotherapy) in these groups, but frames the situation as urgent enough to require immediate action to expand access now.
Applicants are expected to develop training materials and a training program that directly builds providers skills for outreach, engagement, and linkage to MAT for one specific population chosen from a defined list: African American; American Indian/Alaska Native; Hispanic/Latino(a); or Asian, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander. The training focus is not just general education about medications, but actionable information, skills, and resources that treatment providers can use to increase client access to MAT and improve retention once clients start medication. The broader theory of change is that if front-line providers are equipped with culturally responsive engagement strategies and accurate, community-tailored messaging, more clients from underserved minority communities will enter MAT earlier and remain in care longer.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, reflecting SAMHSA involvement in guiding and supporting the work. It falls under the health funding activity category and is tied to Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 (Substance Abuse). The legal authority is Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The catalog of federal domestic assistance listing is CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). No cost sharing or matching is required.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to the 15 ATTC grantees funded in FY 2007, based on SAMHSA reasoning that this network already has the infrastructure, dissemination capacity, and experience to complete the work within a one-year timeline and to spread training and materials nationally. A notable addendum changes the award structure from multiple smaller awards to one larger award: instead of four awards of $100,000, SAMHSA will make a single award of $400,000 to a consortium of the 15 eligible ATTCs. Within that consortium, one ATTC must serve as the legal applicant and fiscal recipient and is responsible for meeting all grant requirements. The application must also include a formal, written agreement describing roles and responsibilities for each participating ATTC, signed by an authorizing official from each member organization and included as a required attachment.
Key administrative details reflect a time-limited competition archived in 2010. The funding opportunity number is TI 10 014, it was posted February 23, 2010, created March 26, 2010, and the application receipt deadline was extended from April 2, 2010 to April 16, 2010, with an archive date of May 2, 2010. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $400,000 and an award floor of $0. The overall program emphasis is rapid development and nationwide dissemination of culturally competent MAT training and outreach materials through the ATTC network to reduce disparities in MAT access among minority populations. Contact information in the announcement points applicants needing assistance accessing the full notice to Eileen Bermudez at SAMHSA Division of Grants Management in Rockville, Maryland.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Workforce Development to Increase Access to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services among Minority Populations opportunity?
This is a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) initiative that funds a one-year supplement to strengthen the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment workforce. The aim is to help providers better engage racial and ethnic minority communities in medication assisted treatment (MAT) by developing culturally competent training and practical outreach tools that can be used right away.
What is the main purpose of this grant?
The purpose is to rapidly develop and disseminate culturally competent MAT training and outreach materials through the Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) network. The materials are intended to increase awareness of MAT, address misconceptions and stigma, reduce barriers to starting and staying in treatment, and improve both access and retention for underserved minority populations.
Which SAMHSA program is this supplement building on?
It is designed as a supplement to the existing Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) program that was originally funded in FY 2007.
Why does SAMHSA describe this as an urgent workforce and access issue?
SAMHSA cites documented disparities in drug-related harms and access to care. The opportunity emphasizes that some ethnic minority populations experience more severe consequences of substance use, including higher drug-related involvement with the criminal justice system and higher HIV burden associated with injection drug use. It also notes higher HIV and Hepatitis C prevalence among African Americans and Latinos (compared with Whites) among people who inject drugs, and lower likelihood of opiate-dependent minorities accessing methadone maintenance treatment than Whites.
What kinds of barriers is the project expected to address?
The work is expected to address misconceptions and stigma about MAT (including negative perceptions about methadone noted in some research), along with practical and engagement-related barriers that keep people from starting MAT and remaining in care.
What are applicants expected to produce?
Applicants are expected to develop training materials and a training program that build providers skills for outreach, engagement, and linkage to MAT for a selected minority population. The focus is on actionable information, practical skills, and resources that treatment providers can use to increase access to MAT and improve retention once clients start medication.
Does the training focus on general education about medications or practical implementation?
The focus is not just general education. It is specifically aimed at actionable skills, strategies, and tools providers can use in real-world outreach, engagement, and linkage to MAT, as well as improving retention after initiation.
