Abstract

This is a notice of intent to award supplemental funding to the SPRC recipient funded in FY 2020 under Funding Opportunity Announcement SM-20-011. This is to inform the public that the SAMHSA is supporting an administrative supplement up to $5.429 million, which is consistent with the initial award for one-year to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. This recipient was funded in FY 2020 with a project end date of November 30, 2025. This supplement will provide support to the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention to conduct an evaluation project for populations at higher risk of suicide in support of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's 988 efforts. Additionally, SPRC will provide training and technical assistance to increase the capacity of existing 988 call centers to help Tribal callers and to build the capacity of Tribal crisis hotline services to qualify to join the 988 network. This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only be provided to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) recipient, the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, based on the receipt of a satisfactory application and associated budget that is approved by a review group.

Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Notice of Supplemental Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of intent to award supplemental funding to the Suicide 
Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) recipient funded in FY 2020 under 
Funding Opportunity Announcement SM-20-011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This is a notice of intent to award supplemental funding to 
the SPRC recipient funded in FY 2020 under Funding Opportunity 
Announcement SM-20-011. This is to inform the public that the SAMHSA is 
supporting an administrative supplement up to $5.429 million, which is 
consistent with the initial award for one-year to the University of 
Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. This recipient was funded in FY 2020 
with a project end date of November 30, 2025. This supplement will 
provide support to the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention 
to conduct an evaluation project for populations at higher risk of 
suicide in support of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's 988 
efforts. Additionally, SPRC will provide training and technical 
assistance to increase the capacity of existing 988 call centers to 
help Tribal callers and to build the capacity of Tribal crisis hotline 
services to qualify to join the 988 network.
    This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only 
be provided to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) recipient, 
the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, based on the receipt 
of a satisfactory application and associated budget that is approved by 
a review group.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To better inform targeted messaging, SPRC 
will curate culturally appropriate best-practices to encourage 
populations at higher risk of suicide to contact 988 (and other crisis 
support services). This effort began in September 2022 and included six 
populations at high risk of suicide. This supplemental funding will 
expand the populations of focus to include other audiences at high risk 
of suicide, as well as ``influencers'' identified by respondents, to 
produce resources that influencers and/or peers can use in their role 
as trusted messengers. In addition, this will support the inclusion and 
engagement of more populations at risk, such as Asian Americans and 
individuals with disabilities. Additionally, to strengthen 988's 
overall capacity to meet the needs of Tribal communities engaging with 
988, SPRC will:
    A. Facilitate at least six online training webinars focused on 988 
crisis centers building collaborative, sustainable relationships with 
Tribal nations and communities.
    B. Facilitate a virtual community of learning for 988 crisis center 
directors and Tribal representatives.
    C. Provide a spotlight report on the pilot of the Native and Strong 
Line in Washington.
    D. Collaborate with SAMHSA's Mental Health Technology Transfer 
Centers (MHTTCs) and Tribal Training and Technical Assistance Center to 
develop an interactive online toolkit/resource guide, providing Tribal 
behavioral health resource and jurisdictional information by state, 
that can be used for referrals and linkage.
    E. Collaborate with Vibrant to develop interactive online training 
for 988 crisis center staff to build capacity for culturally responsive 
and relevant care for Tribal callers in their regions.
    F. Provide intensive technical assistance to Tribal 988 response 
grantees.
    G. Foster partnerships among tribes, states, 911 centers, and first 
responders through direct technical assistance, policy academies, 
learning communities and state/regional convenings.
    H. Coordinate meetings between SAMHSA, SAMHSA's MHTTC Network and 
Tribal Training and Technical Assistance Center, to provide updates on 
progress achieved for supplement-related goals and objectives and 
provide any gaps, challenges, barriers, and trends that have been 
identified.
    Funding Opportunity Title: FY 2020 Suicide Prevention Resource 
Center SM-20-011.
    Assistance Listing Number: 93.243.
    Authority: Section 520A and 520C of the Public Health Service Act, 
as amended.
    Justification: Eligibility for this supplemental funding is limited 
to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center which was funded 
in FY 2020 under the Suicide Prevention Resource Center Grant. The 
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center has special expertise 
completing the activities and needs assessments to understand the 
attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs regarding suicide of various groups 
and populations.
