DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Withdrawal of Group II Portion of Guidance for Applicants SM 02-
009, Targeted Capacity Expansion: Meeting the Mental Health Services
Needs of Older Adults
AGENCY: Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), DHHS.
ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of Group II portion of Guidance for
Applicants SM 02-009, Targeted Capacity Expansion: Meeting the Mental
Health Services Needs of Older Adults.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the SAMHSA/CMHS is
withdrawing the Group II portion of the Guidance for Applicants (GFA)
No. SM 02-009, Targeted Capacity Expansion: Meeting the Mental Health
Services Needs of Older Adults (Short Title: Older Adult Mental Health
Services). The application date for this GFA is June 19, 2002. The
Group II award is for a National Technical Assistance Center for the
Mental Health Needs of Older Adults. The Group I component of the
program is unaffected by this announcement.
SAMHSA/CMHS will substantially revise and reissue the Group II
component of the GFA for funding in Fiscal Year 2002. SAMHSA/CMHS
believes that it is programatically advantageous to remove the PRISMe
element, which was work begun under a previous award, from the general
technical assistance element. This will enable the National Technical
Assistance Center to focus on the core technical assistance and
information dissemination functions of the Center while allowing the
Government Project Officer to maintain a direct connection with the
PRISMe project. Check the Federal Register and the SAMHSA web site for
notice of the new announcement at http://www.samhsa.gov/.
Targeted Capacity Expansion: Meeting the Mental Health Services
Needs of Older Adults grants support the adoption and implementation of
evidence-based practices related to the delivery and organization of
services for older adults with serious serious mental illness or who
are at risk for serious mental illness. Awards for the Group I
component of this program are limited to a maximum of $400,000 in total
costs. The award for the Group II component is limited to a maximum of
$1,400,000.
