SAMHSA/CMHS is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2003 cooperative agreements for developing prevention and intervention mental health services and programs at the community level for children, adolescents and their families. These cooperative agreements will be made a part of CMHS’ Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE) program, Prevention and Early Intervention. The purpose of the initiative is to increase the capacity of cities, counties, and tribal governments to provide prevention and early intervention treatment services to meet emerging and urgent mental health needs of communities. Projects funded through this program must target services to children and adolescents and their families. The program will help communities to build the service system infrastructure necessary to address serious local or regional mental health problems through prevention and early treatment interventions having a strong evidence base. It is estimated that $1 million will be available to support 2-3 awards under this Guidance for Applicants in FY 2003. Awards will range from $300,000 to $400,000 in total costs (direct plus indirect) per year. Ten percent of the total award is to be used to evaluate the program. Actual funding levels will depend upon the availability of funds. Support may be requested for a period of up to 3 years (in three budget periods of 1 year each). Annual awards will be made subject to continued availability of funds and progress achieved by awardees. |

| Who Can Apply:

Eligibility is restricted to local government because the purpose of the program is to add needed mental health services at the local level. The following are examples of units of local government who may apply:
