SAMHSA-CMHS
is accepting applications for fiscal year 2003 cooperative agreements
to expand the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI) Community
Treatment and Services Centers. The purpose of the NCTSI is
to improve treatment and services for all children and adolescents in
the United States who have experienced traumatic events or witnessed such
events. A network of centers, the NCTSN, has been established to promote
the development and use of effective treatment and services, to develop
resources on trauma for professionals, consumers, and the public, and
to develop trauma-focused public education and professional training and
other field development activities.

Who Can Apply?
The following domestic public and private non-profit entities are eligible
to apply: Community-based and faith-based
organizations, out-patient clinics, public or private universities, psychiatric
or general hospitals, units of State or local governments, Indian tribes
and tribal organizations, partnerships of multiple clinical centers, programs
and/or community service providers applying as a single center (in which
case one of the participating organizations must be designated as the
applicant organization).
It
is SAMHSA’s intent to ensure the broadest possible distribution of NCTSI
grant funds across the U.S. Therefore,
applicant organizations from the following States will be given priority
consideration for grant awards for the Community Treatment and Services
Center program because they do not currently have a NCTSI center:
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Applicant
organizations from one of the above states are permitted to partner with
other centers or programs from States not included in the above list.
Applicants from States that are not listed will receive consideration
for funding only if there are not enough highly-qualified applicants from
the listed States.
Applicant organizations may apply for the Community Treatment and Services
Centers (this announcement) and/or the Intervention Development and
Evaluation Centers (RFA SM 03-011).
A separate, complete application is required for each category.
An organization that is selected for funding in both grant
programs will receive funding only for its proposed Intervention Development
and Evaluation Center.
Organizations that are currently
grantees of the NCTSI are not eligible to apply as the applicant organization
under this announcement.
