New SAMHSA Funding for Substance Abuse Prevention & Intervention

New SAMHSA Funding for Substance Abuse Prevention & Intervention

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), announced over $65 million in grant awards and notices of funding opportunity (NOFO) to help tackle mental health and substance use crises – two key pillars in the President’s Unity Agenda.

This includes $27.5 million through the Strategic Prevention Framework – Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) program to help Tribes, state and local governments, and colleges and universities to develop and deliver substance use prevention services.

From 2020 to 2023, SPF-PFS grantees reached over 40 million people across the country through individual and group activities like community- and school-based interventions, public health messaging, and strengthening the enforcement of laws to prevent underage access to substances like alcohol and tobacco.

Prevention and health providers can use this grant opportunity to fund the implementation and evaluation of Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) programs, the only wellness-based screening and brief prevention interventions for individuals and groups.
