Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible Applicants are limited to State Mental Health authorities in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories.

Only the State Mental Health authorities are eligible for the CMHSBG.
Grant Description: The overall goal of the State Mental Health DIG program is to improve the State and local mental health data infrastructure, with a special focus on implementing new Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG) measures. The program also is a key element of a broader plan to increase State flexibility and improve accountability, generally referred to as Performance Partnership Block Grants (PPGs). Specific program goals include: adoption of common data and information technology standards at the local level and improvement in program management/decision support, planning, and service quality improvement through better information at both State and local levels. Allowable activities for these grants are limited to activities that will support State and local data infrastructure development. Funds may not be used to pay for computer hardware. Software expenditures will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
