Objective Reviewers Needed for New Mental and Behavioral Health Funding Opportunity
A new FY 2012 grant, Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grants (MBHETG); (http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do;jsessionid=L3GZPhSRGDlhvGMvSBnGkSxTGByyG24zdxR9vPB1hGrgWq3SSjv9!1228510361?oppId=168854&mode=VIEW), funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), supports eligible institutions of higher education with accredited health professions training programs in social work and psychology to recruit students and provide graduate education and clinical experience in mental and behavioral health. Three-year grant funding under this program will be provided during Federal Fiscal Years (FY) 2012-2014 starting September 30, 2012. Funding will be awarded to eligible social work and psychology graduate programs for the development and implementation of the field placements and internships associated with the degree programs. As a result of this funding, graduate social work and psychology programs will increase their overall number of enrolled students, create more field placement and internship slots for students working with high need and high demand populations (primarily rural, vulnerable, and/or underserved populations, veterans, as well as military personnel and their families), place more students in these field placements and internships, and ultimately increase the number of clinical providers working with high need and high demand populations.
External objective reviewers who are experienced in the behavioral health field are needed to review the certified and eligible applications for this grant. Please submit a completed application and an up-to-date resume to http://www.hrsa.gov/grants/reviewers/ and cc: Sadie Silcott at ssilcott@hrsa.gov as soon as possible. For more information on reviewer responsibilities, refer to: http://www.hrsa.gov/grants/reviewers/letter.pdf. This review of MBHETG applications will take place over teleconference for at least two full days. Reviewers will receive an honorarium upon completion of the review. Please circulate this request to others who qualify. If you have any questions on the grants reviewer application process, please feel free to contact Sadie Silcott, Project Officer, or Ms. Cynthia Phillips, Deputy Director, at 301.443.6950.
