Opportunity Information: Apply for FG 20 002
The Family Support Technical Assistance Center opportunity (Fam-CoE), offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is a discretionary grant competition designed to strengthen how families are supported within mental health and substance use disorder systems. The core idea behind the program is that families often play a major role in helping a loved one access care, stay engaged in treatment, and recover, while also experiencing significant stress, financial strain, and emotional burden themselves. SAMHSA is using this award to build a national technical assistance and education hub that can improve the availability, quality, and integration of family support services across treatment and recovery settings.
The funded center is expected to focus heavily on training and education for two main audiences: the general public and healthcare practitioners. For the public, the emphasis is on increasing understanding of why family supports matter and what effective supports look like. For practitioners and providers, the emphasis is more practice-oriented: helping treatment programs and healthcare professionals integrate family supports and services into mental health and substance use disorder treatment, rather than treating family involvement as an afterthought. In practical terms, the center would be positioned to develop and share tools, training materials, and guidance that help providers routinely include and support families as part of care planning and ongoing treatment.
A key feature of the opportunity is that the center is also expected to deliver resources and education directly to families, not just to systems and professionals. That means the work is not limited to advising providers; it also includes producing accessible information, guidance, and educational supports that families can use to better navigate mental and substance use disorders, understand treatment options, communicate effectively with providers, and find or use support services. The overarching goal is to expand the reach and consistency of family-centered supports nationwide and reduce the negative impacts these disorders can have on family stability and well-being.
Administratively, this is a SAMHSA grant (Funding Opportunity Number FG 20 002) within the health funding activity category, listed under CFDA 93.243. SAMHSA anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $800,000. The opportunity was posted on December 30, 2019, and the original application deadline was February 28, 2020. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, signaling that applicants may extend beyond standard government or academic categories depending on SAMHSA's specific criteria in the full eligibility section.Apply for FG 20 002
