Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 23 021
The Tribal Behavioral Health grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM-23-021) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It focuses on improving behavioral health outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, with eligibility covering youth up to and including age 24. The core aim is to strengthen community-driven and culturally responsive approaches that prevent and reduce suicidal behavior and substance use or misuse, lessen the harmful effects of trauma, and actively promote mental health and wellness among young people.
This program is designed around the idea that youth outcomes improve when communities have a coordinated, reliable network of supports rather than isolated services. In practical terms, the grant emphasizes building and reinforcing systems, services, and partnerships that reach youth where they are and address multiple drivers of risk at the same time. That can include improving coordination between tribal behavioral health programs, schools, primary care, social services, justice-related partners, and community-based supports, while also ensuring that trauma-informed and culturally grounded strategies are central to how services are delivered. The overall expectation is that funded efforts will create stronger connections among organizations and providers so that prevention, early intervention, treatment, and recovery supports work together as a cohesive safety net for AI/AN youth.
The notice of funding opportunity remains open across three fiscal years, giving applicants multiple chances to apply. Application deadlines are set for May 15 in each year: FY 2023 applications were due May 15, 2023; FY 2024 applications were due May 15, 2024; and FY 2025 applications are due May 15, 2025 (the original closing date listed for the opportunity). Applications submitted by each annual deadline are reviewed within that fiscal year, and funding decisions are expected by the end of the same fiscal year. A key feature of this structure is that applicants who apply but are not selected can submit again in a later fiscal year while the opportunity remains open, which can be helpful for organizations that need more time to strengthen partnerships, refine program design, or align community readiness with the proposal.
From a funding standpoint, the grant lists an award ceiling of $250,000, meaning individual awards are not expected to exceed that amount under this opportunity. The opportunity anticipates making 59 awards, indicating a relatively substantial national investment intended to reach multiple communities. The program is categorized under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.243. While the eligibility field is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the program is clearly oriented toward tribal communities and efforts that directly serve AI/AN youth, so applicants typically need to confirm that they meet the specific eligibility criteria described in the full notice.
In short, this funding opportunity supports tribal and tribal-serving applicants in building stronger, coordinated, trauma-informed, and culturally grounded behavioral health systems for AI/AN youth through age 24, with an emphasis on suicide prevention, substance use prevention and reduction, and mental health promotion. The multi-year application window with annual May 15 deadlines provides repeated opportunities to compete for funding through FY 2025, with decisions made by the end of each fiscal year and the option to reapply if not initially funded.Apply for SM 23 021
