Science to Service Grant Programs
All of the Community Support Programs (CSP) Branch grant programs support the science to service agenda. The following grant programs specifically address the science to service cycle:
Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant (MHTSIG) Program
The Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant (MHTSIG) program supports an array of infrastructure and service delivery improvement activities to help grantees (i.e., states, territories, the District of Columbia, and/or federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes or Tribal Organizations) build a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective mental health and related services. These grants are unique. They will support planning and development to promote systems to foster recovery and meet consumers’ needs.

Science to Service Grant Program
The Science to Service Grant program encourages continued development of evidence-based practices to fill service gaps by documenting and evaluating promising stakeholder-initiated practices. This program is meant to help organizations that have identified promising new practices to evaluate and package those innovations. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funds science to service grants in two phases. Phase I provides support for up to 2 years to stabilize and document an existing practice that fills an identified gap. Phase II provides support for 1 to 3 years to evaluate the success of the practice.

Workforce Training Grants to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Mental Health Services
In 2002 four grants were awarded to develop and evaluate training programs designed to enhance the ability of mental health providers to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services to racial and ethnic minorities. Through this program the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) identified effective training models. These models improve the capacity of the mental health workforce to engage, treat, and support racial and ethnic minority persons with mental illnesses.

State Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) Grant Program
Co-sponsored with the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH’s), the CSP Branch has supported a State Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) grant program that funds EBP training and evaluation for states. Two types of grants were awarded through this program.
Round 1 grants provided funding to states to focus on developing a unique science to service agenda to implement and integrate evidence-based mental health services into local settings. This enabled states to perform research and/or build research capacity to study how to implement EBPs and improve service delivery.
Round 2 grants were provided to implement one or more of the six SAMHSA-sponsored EBP kits. These grants were to fund the states to:
- Provide state-of-the-art training and continuing education to state mental health service providers and other stakeholders who are implementing the EBP(s), and
- Evaluate the implementation of selected EBPs in two or more communities within the state.

Knowledge Dissemination Conference Grant Program
The SAMHSA Knowledge Dissemination Conference grant program is designed to support regionally and/or nationally significant conferences related to substance abuse and mental illness prevention, early intervention, and treatment innovations.
Conference grant awards are limited to 75 percent of the proposed conference’s total direct costs up to a maximum of $50,000. Since 1998, CMHS has supported 49 conferences in 22 states. These conferences promote effective practices that improve the accessibility, assessment, and outcomes in treating mental health and co-occurring disorders.
