Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 23 025

The Cooperative Agreements for School-Based Trauma-Informed Support Services and Mental Health Care for Children and Youth (Funding Opportunity Number SM 23 025) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It was created on March 8, 2023, with an original application closing date of May 8, 2023. The program uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during planning, implementation, and oversight, beyond what is common in a standard grant.

The central goal of this opportunity is to expand student access to trauma-informed support services and mental health care in school settings. SAMHSA is focusing on approaches that are evidence-based and culturally relevant, recognizing that effective trauma support and mental health services need to be grounded both in research and in the lived realities, languages, and cultural contexts of the children and families being served. A key emphasis is on developing innovative initiatives, activities, and programs that connect local education systems with local trauma-informed support and mental health systems. In practice, this means building stronger, more functional partnerships between schools and community-based providers so that students can access appropriate services more quickly and more consistently, rather than relying on fragmented referrals or limited school-only capacity.

A notable element of the program is its explicit inclusion of systems operating under the Indian Health Service. This signals SAMHSA's intent to support meaningful coordination that can improve access and continuity of care for American Indian and Alaska Native children and youth, including efforts that respect tribal sovereignty, cultural practices, and community-defined needs. More broadly, the program is designed to strengthen and improve trauma-informed and mental health services for children and youth by leveraging cross-system collaboration, reducing barriers to care, and promoting service models that can be implemented and sustained within local communities.

Funding is offered with an award ceiling of $970,000 per award, and SAMHSA anticipated making about 5 awards under this opportunity. The funding activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.243. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, which usually means eligibility may extend beyond a narrow set of applicants and could include certain public or private entities that meet specific requirements described in the detailed eligibility section of the notice. Overall, this opportunity is aimed at helping communities design and operationalize coordinated, school-linked systems of trauma-informed and mental health support so children and youth can receive timely, effective care in ways that fit their local and cultural contexts.
