Sponsor Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Deadlines March 30, 2010
Purpose The purpose of the Conference Grant program is to disseminate knowledge about practices within the mental health services and substance abuse prevention and treatment fields and to integrate that knowledge into real-world practice as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Eligibility Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. For example, State and local governments; federally recognized tribes; State recognized tribes, urban Indian organizations (as defined in P.L. 94-437, as amended); public or private universities and colleges; professional associations, voluntary organizations, self-help groups, consumer and provider services-oriented constituency groups; community- and faith-based organizations; and tribal organizations may apply. Individuals are not eligible to receive grant support for a conference. The statutory authority for this program precludes grants to for-profit organizations. Support for only one conference from one SAMHSA Center (CMHS, CSAP, CSAT) may be requested in any single application. Applications that address topics that cut across two or more Centers, such as those dealing with co-occurring treatment and prevention, may be referred to more than one Center for funding consideration. Only one application per receipt date may be submitted.
