Find instructions and forms for completing and submitting your SAMHSA continuation grant application.
Initial Announcement
SAMHSA is transitioning to the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) electronic Research Administration (eRA) grants system. Due to this transition, SAMHSA changed the continuation application submission for the following two programs:
- TI-16-011 (TCE-HIV)
- SM-16-008 (NCTSI-TSA)
These programs will offer training on eRA, including how to submit the continuation applications. Information on this training will be sent directly to the recipients in January 2017.
All other discretionary grant continuation applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. If you are eligible for a continuation grant, you'll receive a letter of notification via email to your designated business official.
