Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 17 007
The Cooperative Agreements to Implement the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, also referred to as the National Strategy Grants, is a FY 2017 funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services. It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to be more actively involved than in a standard grant, often through technical assistance, shared planning, or ongoing coordination. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding in the health category (CFDA 93.243) and was created on February 16, 2017, with an original application deadline of April 17, 2017.
The central purpose of the program is to help states implement the goals and objectives laid out in the 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP). The focus is specifically on preventing suicide and suicide attempts among adults age 25 and older, with the broader aim of reducing both the national suicide rate and the total number of suicide deaths in the United States. The emphasis on adults reflects a major public health concern highlighted in the announcement: although youth may have higher attempt rates, middle-aged adults account for the highest number of suicide deaths nationwide. The notice points to CDC trend data indicating that suicides among adults ages 35 to 64 rose substantially from 1999 to 2010 (an increase of 28 percent) and that the upward pattern continued through 2015. It also notes that suicide is the second leading cause of death among adults ages 25 to 34 and that, in 2010, more than 70 percent of U.S. suicides occurred among adults ages 25 to 64. In addition, the announcement underscores that older adults, particularly males, have historically experienced the highest suicide rates, reinforcing the need for prevention strategies across the adult lifespan.
In practical terms, the grants are designed to strengthen and expand statewide suicide prevention efforts by aligning them with the NSSP framework, which centers on coordinated, multi-level approaches to reducing suicidal thoughts, plans, attempts, and deaths. The announcement frames this as essential to reversing the growth in suicide deaths and achieving a significant reduction over the following years. While the short description does not list specific required activities, it clearly situates the expected work as state-level implementation of national strategy objectives, which commonly involves improving prevention infrastructure, coordination across systems (health care, behavioral health, public health, and community partners), and using data to guide and evaluate prevention actions.
The program is authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and it is tied to national public health priority areas under Healthy People 2020, specifically the Mental Health and Mental Disorders topic area (HP 2020-MHMD) and/or the Substance Abuse topic area (HP 2020-SA). Funding details in the source indicate an award ceiling of $471,000 per award and an expectation of four total awards. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement text, suggesting that applicants needed to consult the official eligibility section for precise allowable entities, even though the stated program purpose is to support states in implementing NSSP goals.Apply for SM 17 007
