Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to the current 
grantee for the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $1,000,000 (total costs) for up to one year to the 
current grantee for the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress 
(NCCTS). This is not a formal request for applications. Assistance will 
be provided only to the current grantee for the National Center for 
Child Traumatic Stress based on the receipt of a satisfactory 
application that is approved by an independent review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SM-10-016.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.
    Authority: Section 582 of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.
    Justification: Only an application from the current grantee for the 
National Center for Child Traumatic Stress will be considered for 
funding under this announcement. One-year funding has become available 
to assist SAMHSA in responding to data analysis and reporting 
activities that improve evidence-based practices and raise the standard 
of trauma care. It is considered most cost-effective and efficient to 
supplement the existing grantee because they have access to the 
existing National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) datasets and 
data analytic expertise to conduct the required data analytic 
activities. There is no other potential organization with the required 
access and expertise.
    Eligibility for this program supplement is restricted to the 
current grantee, National Center for Child Traumatic Stress in 
accordance with Congressional intent for 2010 SAMHSA appropriations.
    The role of the NCCTS is to provide infrastructure and support for 
the National Child Traumatic Stress Network to achieve its goals of 
increasing access and raising the standard of care for traumatized 
children, adolescents, and their

families. The NCCTS is responsible for data collection for the NCTSN 
and the dissemination of program findings to guide best practice 
implementation. This data collection includes the core data set which 
details the demographics, clinical, family and trauma exposure factors 
which are related to the types of services received through National 
Child Traumatic Stress Initiative. The data analysis supported by the 
NCCTS will improve evidence-based practices and raise the standard of 
trauma care.
