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.
