Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 19 005
The Provider's Clinical Support System - Medication Assisted Treatment (PCSS-MAT) Grant is a SAMHSA/CSAT discretionary grant opportunity (FY 2019) designed to strengthen the healthcare workforce response to opioid use disorder by expanding access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The central aim is to grow the number of clinicians who are qualified and authorized to provide evidence-based MAT, especially by increasing the number of providers who obtain the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000) waiver, which is tied to office-based treatment for opioid use disorder using FDA-approved medications. Alongside waiver expansion, the program focuses on improving providers' understanding of why MAT matters and helping more clinicians feel prepared to prescribe and manage these medications appropriately, with the end goal of increasing real-world access to treatment for people who need it.
The opportunity recognizes that, even with existing national training and mentoring initiatives, the country still faces a persistent shortage of clinicians who can deliver effective care for opioid and other substance use disorders. PCSS-MAT is intended to close that gap by continuing to deliver current, evidence-based education and clinical support tailored to the realities of addiction treatment, including the complexity of managing substance use disorders in general medical settings. In practice, this means building and disseminating up-to-date clinical guidance, training content, and mentoring resources that help health professionals translate best practices into everyday care, not just learn the concepts in isolation.
Administratively, this funding opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number TI 19 005 and CFDA 93.243. The posting was created on December 28, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 26, 2019. SAMHSA anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000. Eligibility is noted broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the announcement's additional eligibility information section.Apply for TI 19 005
