AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability for a Supplement to Expand the
Cooperative Agreement for the National Center for Child Traumatic
Stress (NCCTS)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), announces the
availability of FY 2003 funds for the cooperative agreement described
below. A synopsis of this funding opportunity, as well as many other
Federal Government funding opportunities, is also available at the
Internet site: http://www.fedgrants.gov.
This notice is not a complete description of the program; potential
applicants must obtain a copy of the Request for Applications (RFA),
including Part I, Supplement to Expand the Cooperative Agreement for
the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS), Part II,
General Policies and Procedures Applicable to all SAMHSA applications
for Discretionary Grants and Cooperative Agreements, and the PHS 5161-1
(Rev. 7/00) application form before preparing and submitting an
application.
Funding Opportunity Title: Supplement to Expand the Cooperative
Agreement for the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS)--
Short Title: NCCTS Supplement.
Funding Opportunity Number: SM 03-010.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
Authority: Section: 582 of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended and subject to the availability of funds.
Funding Opportunity Description: The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS), is accepting an application for fiscal year 2003 to
expand the cooperative agreement for the National Center for Child
Traumatic Stress (NCCTS). The NCCTS currently coordinates the National
Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and provides leadership and
focus for 10 Intervention Development and Evaluation Centers (IDE) and
26 Community Treatment and Service Centers (CTS). These funds will
enable NCCTS to strengthen its ability to support results-oriented
collaborative projects within the NCTSN and support the development and
dissemination of high-priority products essential for the success of
the Initiative.
Eligible Applicants: Eligibility is limited to the University of
California at Los Angeles (UCLA). UCLA (in partnership with Duke
University) has operated the currently funded NCCTS in its first 2
years. The NCCTS has proven capable and effective in carrying out
activities in pursuit of the goals of the NCTSI. This success is
reflected in the expansion and supplementation of funding for NCTSI for
FY 2002 and 2003. The Government's interest in building on the capacity
and infrastructure already developed with Government funds is a
compelling argument for continuing the NCTSI coordination activities
through the UCLA-Duke NCCTS. Further, duplication of effort and
substantial confusion would result if a second ``National Center'' were
established with a primary mission of networking and collaboration
building in the NCTSI. For these reasons, only the currently funded
[[Page 41393]]
NCCTS, operated by UCLA, may apply for this award.
Due Date for Application: August 7, 2003.
Estimated Funding Available/Number of Awards: It is expected that
up to $1 million will be available for this one-year supplemental award
in FY 2003 (both direct and indirect costs). Actual funding levels will
depend on the availability of funds. If the application proposes a
budget that exceeds $1 million, it will be returned without review.
Is Cost Sharing Required: No.
Period of Support: One year.

application kits may be obtained by calling: the SAMHSA Mental Health
Information Center at (800) 789-2647, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.
