trainer program to educate, train, and prepare jail and prison staff so they are equipped to appropriately interact with people in a carceral setting who have mental illness (MI) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This training should be developed by an institution of higher education or non-profit, for profit or tribal in conjunction with health care and corrections professionals to ensure a multidisciplinary approach. The training must focus on understanding behavioral health, including MI and substance use disorders, IDD, developing empathy, navigating community resources, and de-escalation skills and practical application training of those skills in a trauma-informed manner for all staff working in prisons and jails. The centerpiece of this training must be a 40-hour CIT train-the-trainer program.

Synopsis: NOFO # DD24-0051 solicits non-research, cooperative agreement applications to conduct population-based surveillance of congenital heart defects (CHD) to describe health outcomes including health equity, with the goal of identifying opportunities to improve the health of all people living with CHD. This project will involve a required component (A) and an optional component (B). The population included in this surveillance activity can be an entire state or a region within a state. Individuals with CHD should be identified through existing data sources including the jurisdiction birth defects surveillance system, electronic health records, administrative data (e.g., Medicaid/Medicare, hospital discharge), or other sources available to funding recipients. Background: Congenital heart defects (CHD) affect about 1% of all births in the United States, and are a leading cause of birth defect-associated infant mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs. Improvements in early detection and treatment of CHD and consequently in survival have resulted in many people, including those affected by a severe CHD, living into adolescence and adulthood. An estimated two million persons in the U.S. are living with a CHD, including over one million adults; about 12% of these affected adults have a severe CHD. Most current efforts to conduct population-based surveillance of CHD have focused on monitoring newborns. However, little data exist on the descriptive epidemiology of CHD beyond early childhood in the U.S. Despite the public health burden, the lack of population-based surveillance precludes reliable data on people with CHD, their survival, healthcare utilization, and characteristics associated with long-term outcomes. Through this surveillance activity, these data will be assessed, enabling and informing efforts to improve the health and well-being of people with CHD. Objectives: Component A objectives include: (1) assess survival, comorbidities, healthcare utilization during the period 2021-2023, and characteristics associated with long-term outcomes among people with CHD; (2) assess health equity among people with CHD; (3) examine state and national healthcare policies that have an impact on people with CHD; (4) examine COVID-19 and related data such as health care utilization during the pandemic among people with CHD; and (5) work with local/state partners to use site-specific CHD data. Component B objectives include: (1) develop and refine a machine learning algorithm for the surveillance data collected through Component A; and (2) apply this machine learning algorithm to data collected from all recipients funded through Component A.

The FY 2024 Tribal Behavioral Health (Native Connections) funding opportunity, administered by SAMHSA, is designed to address suicide, trauma, and substance use/misuse among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, up to age 24, by strengthening community networks and culturally relevant mental health systems. The program provides grants of up to $250,000 annually for a maximum project period of five years, with an application deadline of March 6, 2024, for FY 2024. This opportunity is exclusively open to federally recognized AI/AN tribes, tribal organizations, Urban Indian Organizations, or consortia of tribes or tribal organizations. The program's primary objectives include the prevention and reduction of suicidal behaviors, substance use, and trauma impacts in AI/AN youth populations. Grantees are required to conduct community needs and readiness assessments, develop strategic action plans for suicide prevention, substance misuse, and mental health, and create culturally appropriate postvention protocols. Activities should address multiple prevention levels: universal, selective, and indicated. The program promotes youth advisory boards and requires tribal involvement in all planning and evaluation stages to ensure community alignment with intervention strategies. Applicants must submit a detailed project narrative, budget, and supporting documents. They are also encouraged to include a Disparity Impact Statement (DIS) within 60 days of award to identify and address health disparities among targeted populations. Applications are evaluated based on criteria including the relevance of the proposed project to community needs, feasibility, organizational capacity, and data collection strategies. Bonus points may be awarded for projects targeting underserved populations and implementing DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) strategies. Funded projects must adhere to SAMHSA's reporting requirements, including quarterly performance and financial reports, and regular data submissions through SAMHSA's SPARS system.
