	SAMHSA-CMHS announces the availability of funds for an Older Adult Technical Assistance, which will identify, synthesize and disseminate the knowledge base for mental health outreach, prevention, early intervention, assessment, and treatment services for older persons. It is estimated that a total of $900,000 will be available to support one award in FY 2002. This announcement is a reissue of the Group II portion of GFA No. SM 02-009, which was withdrawn on June 17, 2002 (see Federal Register Volume 67, Number 116, page 41254, for notice of this program withdrawal). The Group I initiative of the Targeted Capacity Expansion program within GFA No. SM 02-009 was unaffected by the withdrawal of the Group II component for the National Technical Assistance Center. The awardees for the Targeted Capacity Expansion Program Group I initiative of GFA No. SM 02-009 will be referred to hereafter as Group I Awardees. For reference, GFA No. SM 02-009 was published in April 2002. Although the application period closed on June 17, the GFA text remains available in downloadable format on the SAMHSA website, www.samhsa.gov. Look under the "Grant Opportunities" section.

	Who Can Apply? Eligibility to apply for the National Technical Assistance Center will be limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities.
