Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: SAMHSA is limiting eligibility to the following groups based on Congressional appropriations language, which directs SAMHSA to ensure that this grant program focuses on American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) young people within “tribal entities with the highest rates of suicide per capita over the past 10 years”; American Indian/Alaska Native tribes, tribal organizations, and consortia of tribes or tribal organizations.
Eligible applicants must meet both of these criteria:
• Applicants must be a federally recognized AI/AN tribe or tribal organization, as defined in the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Assistance Act (USC 25, Chapter 14, Subchapter II, Section 450b).
1. A “tribal organization” is the recognized body of an AI/AN tribe that exists to serve the tribal community and includes maximum participation of the AI/AN tribe in all phases of its activities. It is also a legally established organization that is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by an AI/AN governing body, or that is democratically elected by the adult members of the AI/AN community that it serves.
2. Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval in writing. (Please include approvals in Attachment 5).
• From 2004 to 2013, applicants must have an average suicide rate among young people (age 10 through 24) that is equal to or greater than the national age-adjusted rate for AI/AN young people (13.88 per 100,000) for the period between 2004 and 2010. (Please see Appendix G for a worksheet with instructions for calculating this rate, as well as Appendix H for a Certificate of Eligibility, which must be signed to attest to the fact that each tribe’s rate meets this criterion. Please include the completed Certificate of Eligibility in Attachment 1 of your proposal.) Applications that do not include a completed Certificate of Eligibility will not be considered for review.
A federally recognized tribe, tribal organization, or consortium may choose to contract with a public or private non-profit organization to develop and implement tribal-sponsored suicide prevention, substance use prevention, and mental health promotion services. The tribe, tribal organization, or consortium submitting the application is held responsible for all grant activities.
