    Amount of Competitive Awards: Ceiling up to $190,000 per grant.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: Project Period July 1, 2015, to 
June 30, 2016.
    CFDA Number: 93.191.

    Authority: Title VII, Sections 750 and 755(b)(1)(J) of the 
Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 294 and 42 U.S.C. 
294e(b)(1)(J)).

    Justification: The FY 2015 Appropriations Bill included funds for 
the GPE Program specifically to address the psychological needs of 
military personnel, veterans, and their families in civilian and 
community-based settings, including those in rural areas. Current 
grants have existing structures and expertise in place that would 
require minimal start-up time for new grant implementation. For 
internship programs, there is only one opportunity to fill the slots as 
the Association of Postdoctoral Internship Centers' (APPIC) match for 
interns is in February. Internships begin in July/August, and if awards 
are made early enough, current grantees may be able to identify 
``unmatched students.''
