The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Promoting the Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care: Collaborative Care Model". This grant aims to support the implementation of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), an evidence-based, integrated care approach that addresses mental and substance use conditions in primary care settings. The CoCM involves a primary care team that includes a case manager, consulting psychiatrist, and other mental health professionals.
The recipients of this grant will be expected to work with at least three primary care practices to develop the necessary staffing and systems for implementing the CoCM. The goal of this program is to increase the identification and treatment of mental health conditions for individuals accessing care through primary care practices, which are often untreated and can cause disability.
The grant has an award ceiling of $900,000 and an estimated total program funding of $5,200,000. SAMHSA expects to make approximately 5 awards. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching.
Eligibility for this program is limited to a state or appropriate state agency, such as the State Mental Health Authority, the Single State Agency for substance use services, the State Medicaid agency, or the State Health Department.
The closing date for applications is May 20, 2024, and the archive date is June 19, 2024. For more information and to apply, visit the following link: Promoting the Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care: Collaborative Care Model.
