The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Community Programs for Outreach and Intervention with Youth and Young Adults at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis." This grant aims to provide trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions to youth and young adults up to 25 years of age who are at clinical high risk for psychosis.

The purpose of this program is to improve symptomatic and behavioral functioning, enable youth and young adults to resume age-appropriate social, academic, and/or vocational activities, delay or prevent the onset of psychosis, and minimize the duration of untreated psychosis for those who develop psychotic symptoms.

The grant requires recipients to use evidence-based interventions to achieve these goals. The funding amount for this program is estimated to be $5,000,000, with an award ceiling of $650,000. SAMHSA expects to make approximately 8 awards.

Eligibility for this grant is limited to public entities, including state governments and territories, governmental units within political subdivisions of a state (e.g., county, city, town), and federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations. Cost sharing or matching is required.

The closing date for this grant opportunity is April 8, 2024. For more information and to apply, please visit the following link: Community Programs for Outreach and Intervention with Youth and Young Adults at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis.
