Eligibility snapshot

Eligible applicants are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. For example: • State and local governments; • Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes and tribal organizations; • Urban Indian organizations; • Public or private universities and colleges; and • Community- and faith-based organizations. Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities. Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval. A single tribe in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements. Applicants may also apply for the NCTSI Category III, Community Treatment and Services (CTS) Center cooperative agreements. However, if SAMHSA receives applications from the same applicant organization for a NCTSI Category II, TSA Center and Category III, CTS Center, SAMHSA will only fund an application in either a Category II or Category III but not both. SAMHSA may consider priority score, balance among programs, and geographical distribution when making funding decisions. The intent of this FOA is to have “coverage” and expertise in a range of trauma areas, service systems, settings, and populations. Applicants are asked to identify their area of child trauma expertise and interest. SAMHSA has an interest in ensuring that the range of trauma areas are addressed by grantees awarded under this FOA. SAMHSA may make a funding decision regarding the Areas of Trauma Focus the applicant proposes to address, thereby ensuring adequate “coverage” of trauma areas outlined in Section I.2. Applicant organizations submitting more than one Category II, TSA Center application with different Trauma Focus Areas may receive an award in each of the different Trauma Focus Areas.
