- The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), is soliciting proposals on a full and open competitive basis (see important note below) for the development and implementation of a Technical Assistance (TA) Center to support the Statewide Family Network and Consumer Network Programs. The TA Center will also provide assistance to family and consumer groups across the country on issues related to education, training, self-help, leadership and partnership development, and consumer and family run services. The Statewide Family and Consumer Network Grantees will use the TA Center to support their work in infrastructure and business management development to build strong and sustainable organizations. They will use the TA Center to foster legacy planning and activity to sustain culturally competent leadership in enhancing consumer, family, and youth partnership in mental health systems transformation. The TA Center will also provide technical assistance to both the Statewide Family Network Program and Consumer Network Program in the collection of Government Performance and Results Act (GRPA) data. Activities will include data collection, data processing, analysis, and final GPRA data reports delivered to the Government Project Officers for both of the Network Programs.
