The Community Programs for Youth and Young Adults at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis grant is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This federal discretionary funding opportunity is designed to support community-based behavioral health initiatives that address early identification and intervention for individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. SAMHSA’s broader mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America’s communities, and this program aligns with that mission by targeting youth populations at a critical developmental stage. The primary purpose of this program is to fund trauma-informed and evidence-based interventions for youth and young adults up to age 25 who are identified as being at clinical high risk for psychosis. These interventions are intended to prevent or delay the onset of psychotic disorders and improve long-term mental health outcomes. The program emphasizes early detection, coordinated care, and the use of scientifically validated practices that are responsive to trauma and culturally appropriate for diverse populations. Funding under this opportunity is expected to support community programs that provide screening, assessment, outreach, treatment, and supportive services. Allowable activities likely include clinical services, care coordination, workforce development, and community engagement strategies, although detailed allowable cost categories will be further specified upon official release. The program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating that applicants must contribute additional resources or funding as part of the project design. Total program funding is estimated at 7,000,000 dollars, with approximately 10 awards anticipated. Eligibility for this opportunity is limited by statute to public entities. These include state governments and territories, political subdivisions such as counties, cities, and towns, and federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations. This limitation ensures that funded programs are administered by public or governmental bodies with the capacity to deliver population-level services and coordinate with public health systems. The application process is currently forecasted and has not yet opened. The estimated posting date is May 15, 2026, at which point full application instructions, required forms, and submission procedures will be made available through Grants.gov. No pre-application requirements such as letters of intent or concept papers are specified at this stage. Applicants will likely be required to submit a comprehensive proposal including program narrative, budget, and supporting documentation once the funding opportunity is officially released. The timeline for this opportunity remains partially unspecified beyond the estimated posting date. Application deadlines, award dates, and project start dates have not yet been published. However, as a forecasted federal grant, applicants are encouraged to begin preparing organizational readiness, partnership development, and program design in advance of the official notice. Questions regarding the opportunity can be directed to the listed program contact via email or phone. The program does not indicate a recurring cycle at this stage, though similar SAMHSA programs are often released annually.

Scientific observations, experiments, and simulations are producing data at rates beyond our capacity to store, analyze, stream, and archive the data in raw form. Of necessity, many research groups have already begun reducing the size of their data sets via techniques such as compression, reduced order models, experiment-specific triggers, filtering, and feature extraction. Once reduced in size, transporting, storing, and analyzing the data is still a considerable challenge a reality that motivates SCs Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program [1] and necessitates further innovation in data-reduction methods. These further efforts should continue to increase the level of mathematical rigor in scientific data reduction to ensure that scientifically-relevant constraints on quantities of interest are satisfied, that methods can be integrated into scientific workflows, and that methods are implemented in a manner that inspires trust that the desired information is preserved. Moreover, as the scientific community continues to drive innovation in artificial intelligence (AI), important opportunities to apply AI methods to the challenges of scientific data reduction and apply data-reduction techniques to enable scientific AI, continue to present themselves [2-4].The drivers for data reduction techniques constitute a broad and diverse set of scientific disciplines that cover every aspect of the DOE scientific mission. An incomplete list includes light sources, accelerators, radio astronomy, cosmology, fusion, climate, materials, combustion, the power grid, and genomics, all of which have either observatories, experimental facilities, or simulation needs that produce unwieldy amounts of raw data. ASCR is interested in algorithms, techniques, and workflows that can reduce the volume of such data, and that have the potential to be broadly applied to more than one application. Applicants who submit a pre-application that focuses on a single science application may be discouraged from submitting a full proposal.Accordingly, a virtual DOE workshop entitled Data Reduction for Science was held in January of 2021, resulting in a brochure [5] detailing four priority research directions (PRDs) identified during the workshop. These PRDs are (1) effective algorithms and tools that can be trusted by scientists for accuracy and efficiency, (2) progressive reduction algorithms that enable data to be prioritized for efficient streaming, (3) algorithms which can preserve information in features and quantities of interest with quantified uncertainty, and (4) mapping techniques to new architectures and use cases. For additional background, see [6-9].The principal focus of this FOA is to support applied mathematics and computer science approaches that address one or more of the identified PRDs. Research proposed may involve methods primarily applicable to high-performance computing, to scientific edge computing, or anywhere scientific data must be collected or processed. Significant innovations will be required in the development of effective paradigms and approaches for realizing the full potential of data reduction for science. Proposed research should not focus only on particular data sets from specific applications, but rather on creating the body of knowledge and understanding that will inform future scientific advances. Consequently, the funding from this FOA is not intended to incrementally extend current research in the area of the proposed project. Rather, the proposed projects must reflect viable strategies toward the potential solution of challenging problems in data reduction for science. It is expected that the proposed projects will significantly benefit from the exploration of innovative ideas or from the development of unconventional approaches. Proposed approaches may include innovative research with one or more key characteristics, such as compression, reduced order models, experiment-specific triggers, filtering, and feature extraction, and may focus on cross-cutting concepts such as artificial intelligence or trust. Preference may be given to pre-applications that include reduction estimates for at least two science applications.
