 The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is currently
accepting applications for the FY 2018 Screening and Treatment for Maternal Depression
and Related Behavioral Disorders program. This is an opportunity
for the establishment, improvement, or maintenance of programs expanding
providers’ capacity to screen, assess, treat, and refer pregnant and postpartum
women for maternal depression and related behavioral health disorders. The goal
of the program is to improve the mental health and well-being of pregnant and
postpartum women through increased access to treatment and recovery support
services, including in rural and medically underserved areas.
HRSA anticipates awarding up to $650,000 per
year over a five-year project period for up to seven cooperative agreements. Eligible
applicants are state governments, including the District of Columbia, Guam, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
Letters
of intent are due July 16, 2018, and applications must be submitted
electronically via Grants.gov by August 6, 2018.
