Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to the 
Education Development Center, Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $485,780 (total costs) per year for one year to the 
Education Development Center, Inc. Waltham, Massachusetts. This is not 
a formal request for applications. Assistance will be provided only to 
the Education Development Center, Inc. based on the receipt of a 
satisfactory application that is approved by an independent review 
group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SM-12-012.

Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243

    Authority: Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.

    Justification: The purpose of the Technical Assistance Center for 
Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention Center (TA 
Center) is to support the federally funded Safe Schools/Healthy 
Students (SS/HS) and Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's 
Health (Project LAUNCH) grant programs.
    The Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant program provides funds to 
local educational agencies to plan, implement, evaluate and sustain a 
comprehensive plan of programs, activities, services and curricula to 
foster resilience, promote mental health, prevent substance abuse, 
youth violence, and mental and behavioral disorders. The SS/HS program 
is grounded in the belief that people's lives can be enhanced through 
effective interventions that foster well-being and resilience at the 
individual, family and community levels. Structurally, the SS/HS 
program brings together representatives from many diverse stakeholder 
groups seeking cooperation from an array of public health, mental 
health, education, law enforcement, justice and social service systems, 
as well as families and youth, to work towards the mutual goals of 
promoting safety, well-being, and healthy development.
    The purpose of this supplemental funding is to expand and enhance 
current grant activities by broadening the current focus to bring 
lessons learned to scale. The TA Center will engage local, state, and 
Federal agencies, through collaborative partnerships, to strengthen the 
mental health promotion, mental illness prevention, and substance abuse 
prevention efforts across the country.
    Eligibility for this funding opportunity is limited to the 
Education Development Center, Inc. As the current grantee for the 
Technical Assistance Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth 
Violence, Education Development Center, Inc. has the infrastructure 
already in place to immediately begin to implement the activities under 
the this supplemental funding, thereby serving to maximize efficiencies 
created under the current services infrastructure.
