Cooperative Agreements to Expand the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative: SAMHSA-CMHS is accepting applications for fiscal year 2003 (FY03) 2003 cooperative agreements to expand the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (NCTSI) Intervention Development and Evaluation Centers. Funds are available under Section 582 to local mental health providers for the purpose of developing knowledge of best practices and providing mental health services to children and youth suffering from post-traumatic stress as a result of having experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. The purpose of the NCTSI is to improve treatment and services for all children and adolescents in the United States who have experienced traumatic events or witnessed such events. A network of centers, the NCTSI has been established to promote the development and use of effective treatment and services, to develop resources on trauma for professionals, consumers, and the public, and to develop trauma-focused public education and professional training and other field development activities. This announcement solicits for three specific types of child and adolescent traumatic stress Intervention Development and Evaluation (IDE) Centers that will facilitate the NCTSI achievement of its overall goals of improving access to and quality of services for child and adolescent traumatic stress: * Rural/Tribal/Frontier Intervention Development and Evaluation Center * Service Systems Models Intervention Development and Evaluation Center * Traumatic Stress and Substance Abuse Intervention Development and Evaluation Center. Applicant organizations may apply for the Intervention Development and Evaluation Centers (this announcement) and/or the Community Treatment and Services Centers (see RFA SM-03-012). A separate, complete application is required for each category. An organization that is selected for funding in both grant programs will receive funding only for its proposed Intervention Development and Evaluation Center. Applicant organizations must apply for one of the specific IDE centers (Rural/Tribal/Frontier; Service Systems Models; Traumatic Stress and Substance Abuse) and address the requirements for that specific center in the application. Applicant organizations may submit separate applications for more than one of the specific IDE centers.
