Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) State governments Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligibility for SAMHSAs State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program is limited to: a. States, including the District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianna Islands, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands; b. Public or private non-profit organizations designated by a State to develop or direct the State-sponsored statewide youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategy; and c. Federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations (as defined in the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Assistance Act), or urban Indian organizations (as defined in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act) that are actively involved in the development and continuation of a tribal youth suicide early intervention and prevention strategy. A minimum of one award will be made to an American Indian or Alaska Native tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization, given the high rates of suicide among American Indian and Alaska Native Youth. No single State agency is mandated to be the lead for State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Program grants, as States differ in which State agency has taken the lead for suicide prevention (e.g., Department of Health, Department of Mental Health). Where States have a plan that designates a lead agency, that agency should act as the lead, or should designate an alternative lead for State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program. If the State plan does not designate a lead, an explanation for why the proposed lead is well suited for this task must accompany the application.
Grant Description: As authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act (Section 520E-2 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended), SAMHSA is announcing Cooperative Agreements for State-Sponsored Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Programs (State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grants). Each year, more children and young adults die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, and chronic lung diseases combined. Tragically, over 4,000 children and young adults take their lives every year, making suicide the third leading cause of death between the ages of 10 and 24. From 1952 to 1995, the rate of suicide among children and young adults tripled. From 1980 to 1997, the rate of suicide among youth age 10 to 14 increased 109 percent. The State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program is designed to build on the foundation of prior suicide prevention efforts in order to support States and tribes in developing and implementing statewide or tribal youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategies, grounded in public/private collaboration. Such efforts must involve public/private collaboration among youth-serving institutions and agencies and should include schools, educational institutions, juvenile justice systems, foster care systems, substance abuse and mental health programs, and other child and youth supporting organizations.
