Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 21 009
The National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative - Category II, Treatment and Service Adaptation (TSA) Centers (NCTSI-II) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically its Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). It was released for FY 2021 to expand the national capacity to respond to child traumatic stress by funding specialized centers that can serve as expert resources for the field. The program is built around the idea that communities across the country face different trauma-related needs depending on the types of traumatic events they experience, the populations most affected, and the service systems they rely on, so a one-size-fits-all approach is often not enough.
The main purpose of the TSA Centers is to provide national expertise focused on particular trauma exposures, specific population groups, and key service settings, and then use that expertise to support the adaptation of effective evidence-based treatments and service approaches so they work better in real-world conditions. In practice, this means these centers are expected to help refine and tailor proven interventions and service strategies so they are usable, culturally responsive, and implementable in the diverse communities and systems that serve children and families. The emphasis is not simply on developing new models from scratch, but on strengthening and adapting approaches that already have evidence behind them, while making sure they fit the realities of different local contexts, provider workforces, and client needs.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) and falls under the health funding activity category. The funding opportunity number is SM 21 009, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number attached to it is 93.243. The posting was created on December 14, 2020, with an original application closing date of February 12, 2021, which indicates it was a time-limited competitive federal funding cycle for that fiscal year. SAMHSA anticipated making 29 awards under this announcement, signaling an intent to build a relatively broad national network of TSA Centers rather than funding only a small number of sites.
In terms of scale, the notice lists an award ceiling of $17,853,000. While the source text does not spell out how that ceiling applies (for example, whether it is a maximum per award, a maximum for a particular project period, or another structure), it does communicate that SAMHSA envisioned substantial investment in the TSA Center model. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the additional eligibility details in the full announcement for clarification, which typically means eligibility could extend beyond standard categories (such as state or local governments) and may include entities like universities, hospitals, nonprofits, tribal organizations, or other qualified organizations depending on the specifics SAMHSA laid out in the full notice.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at strengthening the national infrastructure for treating and addressing child traumatic stress by funding organizations that can operate as specialized national leaders. These TSA Centers are positioned to help communities and service systems apply and adapt evidence-based trauma treatments and service approaches in ways that are practical, population-specific, and responsive to different trauma contexts, ultimately improving access to effective trauma-informed care for children, adolescents, and their families nationwide.Apply for SM 21 009
