Grant Description: The NTTAC will serve as a national resource and training center to promote the planning and development of child and family-centered, culturally competent, and coordinated systems of care for children and adolescents with, or at risk for, a serious emotional disturbance and their families. The NTTAC will provide access to information and expertise on systems of care development, implementation, and policy issues through a variety of knowledge distribution approaches and technologies. Priority areas of focus will include: State planning and policy development to implement family-driven, comprehensive systems of care across child-serving systems; family and youth-centered care planning; financing strategies in public and private sectors; data management and accountability; workforce and leadership development; evidence-based practice; early intervention including screening and assessment; integration of care with primary health, child-care, schools, child welfare, juvenile justice, and substance abuse; cultural, racial, and geographic disparities; and technology coordination and dissemination. NTTAC will provide targeted technical assistance to State and local child-serving agencies, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, Pacific Island jurisdictions to provide support for integrated, responsive mental health delivery systems for children, adolescents and their families (with families being broadly defined to include a variety of caretakers such as grandparents and extended kinship relationships). These activities will serve to implement the following goals set out by the President?s New Freedom Commission Report: create a comprehensive state mental health plan; promote the mental health of young children; advance evidence-based practices using dissemination and demonstration projects and create a public-private partnership to guide their implementation; improve and expand the workforce providing evidence-based mental health services and supports; develop and implement integrated electronic health record and personal health information systems; create individualized plans of care for children and their families; address cultural, racial, and geographic disparities; and promote early mental health screening, assessment and referral. It is expected that up to a total of $3.45 million will be available to fund one NTTAC award in FY 2004. Of this total amount, approximately $250,000 is included to provide technical assistance for state capacity building to programs funded under the Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Substance Abuse State Infrastructure Grants, SM 04-006, and approximately $200,000 is included to address needs of grantees in the Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative jointly funded through the Department of Education. An additional $150,000 may be available through agreement with another federal agency to support a position for an expert in issues related to child welfare and mental health. Application budgets should include these additional dollars, a corresponding plan for the staff position and related support incorporating the expert into project activities. The maximum allowable award is $3.6 million in total costs (direct and indirect) per year for up to five years.
