As authorized under the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act (Section 520E-2 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended), SAMHSA announces the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 funds for Campus Suicide Prevention Grants.

The purpose of the Campus Suicide Prevention Grants Program is to provide funding to support grants to institutions of higher education to enhance services for students with mental and behavioral health problems that can lead to school failure, depression, substance abuse, and suicide attempts, so that students will successfully complete their studies.

Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education. Applicants from both public and private institutions may apply, including State universities, private four-year colleges and universities (including those with religious affiliations), Minority Serving Institutions (see Glossary, Appendix B), and community colleges.

Such institutions may carry out the activities of this grant through college counseling centers; college and university psychological service centers; mental health centers; campus ministries; student health services; psychological training clinics; or institution of higher education supported, evidence-based, mental health and substance abuse programs. The activities of this grant may be carried out with the engagement of student-run services such as student activities and/or student government councils. If a consortium is formed to carry out the activities of this grant, a single institution in the consortium must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award on behalf of the consortium, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements.

Additional Information

Approximately $1.5 million per year for 3 years will be available to fund up to 20 awards. The amount of the awards is expected to be $75,000 in total costs (direct and indirect), plus an equivalent match from the applicant organization.

Grantees of the Campus Suicide Prevention Program must agree to match Federal dollars, in a 1:1 ratio, with non-Federal dollars.
