SAMHSA Proposes Standard Grant Announcements to Replace Current Formats
SAMHSA press release - "The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA is soliciting comments on proposed changes in the way grants will be announced. SAMHSA is proposing to issue four standard grant announcements that will describe the general program design and provide application instructions for four types of grants - service grants, infrastructure grants, best practices planning and implementation grants, and service-to-science grants. These standard announcements will replace the 30-40 individual announcements for grant programs that SAMHSA has been issuing each year. The standard announcements will be used in conjunction with brief Notices of Funding Availability that will announce the availability of funds for specific grant funding opportunities." See also the page on Proposed Changes in Announcement of SAMHSA Discretionary Grant Funding Opportunities.
