Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 18 001
The FY 2018 Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) Program: American Indian and Alaska Native Support Center Cooperative Agreement (AI/AN ATTC) is a SAMHSA initiative administered through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) to strengthen the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery workforce serving tribal communities. The grant is designed to support the broader ATTC Network while focusing specifically on the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian programs, and the state, local, and partner organizations that influence how SUD services are delivered in tribal settings. At its core, the opportunity funds a national support center that helps build practical workforce capacity in both behavioral health and primary care, recognizing that effective SUD care in tribal communities often requires coordination across these systems.
The program emphasis is on speeding up the adoption and real-world implementation of culturally responsive, evidence-based, and promising treatment and recovery practices. Rather than limiting the work to general training, the AI/AN ATTC is expected to raise awareness and improve the knowledge and skills of professionals and paraprofessionals who address substance use and co-occurring health conditions in tribal communities. This includes helping the workforce use approaches that are recovery-oriented and aligned with the cultural values, strengths, and community realities of American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Another major goal is to build and sustain alliances across regions and nationally, connecting practitioners, researchers, policymakers, funders, and the recovery community so that effective strategies and resources can spread more quickly and be adapted appropriately for tribal contexts.
A key operational feature of the award is collaboration. The recipient is expected to work directly with SAMHSA and coordinate closely with the ATTC National Coordinating Center (funded in FY 2017) and the 10 Regional ATTC Centers. Through these partnerships, the AI/AN ATTC will contribute to improving the quality and effectiveness of treatment and recovery support services, not only by developing and delivering workforce training, but also by engaging the broader set of people and systems that shape service delivery. That includes clinical providers, recovery support providers, and other stakeholders whose decisions affect access, quality, and outcomes of SUD care in tribal communities.
This funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning SAMHSA anticipates substantial involvement in guiding and collaborating on program activities rather than operating at arm's length. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.243, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expectation of one award. The funding opportunity number is TI 18 001. The notice was created on October 4, 2017, with an original closing date of December 4, 2017. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the official eligibility text, indicating that applicants should rely on the detailed eligibility instructions in the full announcement when determining fit.
Overall, the AI/AN ATTC opportunity is aimed at improving outcomes in tribal communities by investing in the people and systems that deliver care: building specialized workforce expertise, helping organizations implement culturally appropriate and evidence-informed practices, and strengthening coordination across the national ATTC infrastructure so that training and technical assistance translate into higher-quality SUD treatment and recovery support services for American Indian and Alaska Native populations.Apply for TI 18 001
