HRSA has released the fiscal year (FY) 2023 School-Based Service Expansion (SBSE) notice of funding opportunity (HRSA-23-097). HRSA will make $25 million available for approximately 70 awards.

Award recipients will use this funding to increase access to primary health care services, including mental health services, through new and/or existing school-based service site(s). If proposing a new school-based service site, the maximum federal funding is $350,000 per year. If proposing to expand services at existing school-based service site(s) only, the maximum federal funding is $250,000 per year.

Health Center Program operational (H80) grant award recipients are eligible to apply. Health centers must make mental health services available at all school-based service sites where they propose to use SBSE funding.
