Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants are limited to the following, rather than the Eligible Applicants listed in the INF-04 PA (MOD): domestic private, nonprofit entities, including faith-based entities, tribal family organizations, and currently funded Statewide Family Networks grantees that: 1) are controlled and managed by family members; 2) are dedicated to the improvement of mental health services statewide; and 3) have a Board of Directors comprised of no less than 51 percent family members. SAMHSA is limiting eligibility to family-controlled organizations because the goals of this grant program are to: strengthen the capacity of families to act as agents of transformation in influencing the type and amount of services provided to them and to their children who have a serious emotional disturbance and to ensure that their mental health care is consumer and family driven. Applicants will be required to complete and sign a Certification of Eligibility and provide necessary supportive documentation. This certification will be provided in the application kit, available from the National Mental Health Information Center, and will also be posted on the SAMHSA Web page along with the NOFA.
Grant Description: The purpose of the Statewide Family Networks program is to enhance State capacity and infrastructure to be more oriented to the needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families. The programs goals are to: 1) strengthen organizational relationships; 2) foster leadership and business management skills among families of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance; and 3) identify and address the technical assistance needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families. To achieve this goal, the program assists family members around the country to work with policy makers and service providers to improve services for children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families. The Statewide Family Networks Program is designed to ensure that families are the catalysts for transforming the mental health and related systems in their State by strengthening coalitions among family members, and between family members and policymakers and service providers, recognizing that family members are the best and most effective change agents. Only Category 1-Small Infrastructure Grant awards, as defined in SAMHSA's Standard Grant INF-04 PA (MOD), will be made. In general, these Category 1 awards are expected to be up to $60,000 per year in total costs (direct and indirect). Up to 22 grantees with projects that include a youth leadership component may receive an additional $10,000 per year. Proposed budgets for applications without a youth leadership component cannot exceed $60,000 in any year. Proposed budgets for applications with a youth leadership component cannot exceed $70,000 in any year.
