Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 20 002
The Tribal Behavioral Health Grant Program, also referred to as Native Connections, is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically involving the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). For FY 2020, this program is designed to address urgent behavioral health needs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities by focusing on youth and young adults up to age 24. The central aim is to prevent suicide and substance misuse, lessen the effects of trauma, and actively promote mental health and wellness among AI/AN youth during a critical developmental period that includes adolescence and the transition into adulthood.
A major emphasis of Native Connections is building and strengthening culturally responsive approaches to prevention and behavioral health support. The grant is meant to help communities reduce the impact of mental and substance use disorders while also developing models that recognize the role of historical and ongoing trauma and respond to it in ways that fit local traditions, values, and community strengths. The program also places strong importance on collaboration across local systems, encouraging tribes, tribal organizations, consortia, villages, and urban Indian communities to coordinate efforts among agencies and partners so that youth receive consistent support as they move from youth-serving systems into adult roles and services.
Recipients are expected to develop and implement a coordinated set of integrated services and supports aimed at suicide prevention and broader behavioral health promotion. Rather than funding a single activity, the program anticipates that grantees will put together a connected strategy that can include prevention, early intervention, and supportive services that work together in a practical way for the community. A key requirement is meaningful community involvement throughout the entire grant lifecycle, not just during initial planning. Youth, family members, tribal leaders, and spiritual advisors are specifically named as essential participants, reflecting the program expectation that solutions should be community-driven and guided by those with lived experience, cultural knowledge, and leadership responsibility.
In terms of basic grant details from the funding notice, the opportunity number is SM 20 002 and the CFDA listing is 93.243, with the funding activity category identified as health and the funding instrument type as a grant. The agency anticipated making about 39 awards, and the listed award ceiling is $9,820,000. The opportunity was posted on October 11, 2019, with an original application closing date of December 10, 2019. Eligibility is indicated broadly as "others" with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement, and the program definition of "community" is expansive, covering tribes, villages, tribal organizations, consortia of tribes or tribal organizations, and urban Indian communities.Apply for SM 20 002
