State Pilot Program for Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women

The State Pilot Program for Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women is a forecasted federal grant opportunity administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The opportunity number is TI-27-003, and the Assistance Listing is 93.490, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Projects of Regional and National Significance. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, uses a grant as the funding instrument, and falls within the Health funding activity category. The forecast was issued on September 3, 2026, for fiscal year 2027. The purpose of the program is to strengthen and expand state systems' ability to provide integrated, evidence-based substance use disorder and maternal mental health services for pregnant and postpartum women and their families. The source specifically connects the program to both substance use disorder treatment and maternal mental health services and emphasizes strengthening and expanding the capacity of state systems. No additional allowable cost categories, prohibited expenditures, indirect cost restrictions, subaward restrictions, or other spending limitations are provided in the forecasted opportunity information. Estimated total program funding is $2,800,000, with three awards expected. The forecast does not provide an award ceiling or award floor, so an individual award range cannot yet be established from the available information. The opportunity explicitly states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Because the notice remains a forecast, additional award-level funding terms may become available when the full opportunity is posted. Eligibility is statutorily limited to Single State Agencies for Substance Abuse. In addition to eligible state agencies, the forecast specifically identifies the District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau as eligible to apply. The available forecast does not extend eligibility to nonprofits, institutions of higher education, local governments, businesses, individuals, or other applicant classes. Eligibility should therefore be treated as limited to the identified state-level or equivalent governmental applicants. The opportunity is currently in the forecast stage rather than an active application period. Grants.gov lists an estimated post date of December 15, 2026. No estimated application due date is provided, and the source does not identify a letter of intent, concept paper, pre-proposal, notice of intent, or other pre-application gating requirement. It also does not provide application questions, required attachments, narrative requirements, evaluation criteria, scoring criteria, or other submission mechanics. These details should not be inferred before the full solicitation is published. The estimated award date is September 30, 2027. No estimated project start date, performance period, recurring application schedule, or archive date is provided. The available information does not indicate that this opportunity recurs annually, biennially, quarterly, or on another established schedule.

Applicants should rely on the subsequently posted full opportunity for the final deadline, submission requirements, award limits, application components, evaluation criteria, and other requirements not yet supplied in the forecast.
