Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Notice of Supplemental Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of intent to award supplemental funding.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is supporting 
administrative supplements in scope of the parent award for the 12 
eligible grant recipients funded in FY 2022 under the Tribal Behavioral 
Health Grant Program (Short Title: Native Connections), Notice of 
Funding Opportunity (NOFO) SM-21-011. Recipients may receive up to 
$77,500 each for a total of $930,000 across the grant cohort. These 
recipients have a project end date for these supplemental funds of 
September 29, 2025. The supplemental funding will be used to fund a 
comprehensive Training of Trainers (ToT) model to enhance and expand 
workforce development and capacity in the areas of focus of the TBH

behavior, suicide, and addressing the impact of trauma among American

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Funding Opportunity Title: FY 2021 Tribal Behavioral Health Grant 
Program (Short Title: Native Connections) SM-21-011.
    Assistance Listing Number: 93.243.
    Authority: Sections 520A (290bb-32) and 516 (290bb-22) of the 
Public Health Service Act, as amended.
    Justification: These supplement awards will be offered to the FY 
2022 cohort under the Tribal Behavioral Health/Native Connections (SM-
21-011) program supporting recipients in developing and establishing a 
ToT comprehensive program based on a culturally appropriate curriculum 
(developed by the recipient) that leverages lessons learned from 
recipient's current substance use, overdose, and suicide prevention 
activities. Utilizing a ToT Model is a low-cost approach to advancing 
evidenced-based prevention interventions while rapidly building a 
network of multiple knowledgeable and skilled trainers and thus 
enhancing tribal workforce capacity and reach. Trainers can rapidly 
support a broader reach, rapid dissemination, and increased 
sustainability among AI/AN communities. Empowering participants from 
within and reflective of the communities served to take part in 
designing and implementing programs can expand proper identification 
and address specific needs, rather than following top-down, 
prescriptive approaches. This cascade effect can effectively eliminate 
barriers and enhance engagement.
    This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only 
be provided to the 12 Native Connections grant recipients funded in FY 
2022 under the Tribal Behavioral Health Grant Program, NOFO (SM-21-011) 
based on the receipt of a satisfactory application and associated 
budget that is approved by a review group.
