DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Funding Opportunity

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

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to Link2Health 
Solutions, Inc.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $200,000 (total costs) for up to one year to Link2Health 
Solutions, Inc. the current grantee for the National Suicide Prevention 
Lifeline. This is not a formal request for applications. Assistance 
will be provided only to Link2Health Solutions, Inc based on the 
receipt of a satisfactory application that is approved by an 
independent review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SM-13-012.
    Catalog Of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
    Authority: Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.
    Justification: Only an application from Link2Health Solutions will 
be considered for funding under this announcement. It is considered 
most cost-effective and efficient to supplement the existing grantee 
for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and to build on the 
existing capacity and infrastructure.
    Link2Health Solutions is in the unique position to carry out the 
activities of this grant announcement because it is the current 
recipient of SAMHSA's cooperative agreement to manage the National 
Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The purpose of this program is to manage, 
enhance, and strengthen the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 
(referred to as the Lifeline). Supplemental funding is being provided 
for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline as a result of increased 
need for services through non-traditional telephonic means (e.g. chat 
and text-based intervention services). Priorities and awareness raising 
activities will also be directed towards ensuring that the prevention 
needs of diverse populations will be addressed.
