SAMHSA to Fund 15 Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) Grants

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is soliciting applications for Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC). The ATTC program supports the workforce that provides addictions treatment services to 23 million Americans age 12 and older who need treatment for alcohol or illicit drug problems (NSDUH, 2005). The ATTCs assess the training and development needs of the substance use disorders workforce, and develop and conduct training and technology transfer activities to promote the adoption of evidence-based practices in substance use disorders treatment.

It is expected that approximately $7.8 million will be available to fund up to 15 awards.

Awards will be made to 14 Regional Centers and 1 National Coordinating Center. The annual award amount will range from $500,000 to $550,000 per year for up to five years. The actual amount may vary, depending on the availability of funds. Eligible applicants are domestic public or nonprofit entities, states and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska native tribes and tribal organizations, including public or private universities and colleges, and community and faith-based organizations. The grants will be awarded by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
