Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 24 004
The GLS Campus Suicide Prevention Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number SM 24 004) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under CFDA 93.243. It is designed to help colleges and universities strengthen how they prevent suicide and respond to student behavioral health needs using a comprehensive, public health-oriented, and evidence-based approach. The overall focus is on improving campus systems so that students who are struggling can be identified earlier, connected to effective care faster, and supported well enough to stay on track academically and complete their studies.
At the core of the program is the expectation that funded campuses will expand and improve behavioral health services for the entire student population, with particular attention to students at elevated risk. This includes students experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors, depression, serious mental illness (SMI) or serious emotional disturbance (SED), and substance use disorders. The grant frames these issues not only as clinical concerns but also as factors that can contribute to academic disruption and school failure, so the approach is meant to be integrated into the broader campus environment rather than confined to a single office or service.
The program lays out four main goals that guide what applicants should propose. First, it aims to enhance behavioral health services available to students, especially for those at higher risk. Second, it seeks to prevent and reduce suicide as well as mental and substance use disorders through strategies grounded in evidence and public health practice. Third, it emphasizes promoting help-seeking behavior and reducing stigma, recognizing that many students delay or avoid seeking support due to fear, shame, or misconceptions about mental health and substance use. Fourth, it focuses on improving the identification and treatment of at-risk students, which points to stronger screening, referral pathways, and coordination between campus and community resources so students can receive timely, appropriate care.
Eligible applicants are limited to private and public nonprofit institutions of higher education, meaning the funding is intended for colleges and universities that operate on a nonprofit basis and can implement campus-wide prevention and intervention strategies. For this funding cycle, the opportunity was created on March 6, 2024, with an original application closing date of May 6, 2024. SAMHSA expected to make about 23 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $102,000, indicating the maximum amount an individual award could reach under this announcement.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity is geared toward campuses that want to build or strengthen a coordinated suicide prevention and behavioral health support framework, including prevention efforts, early identification, effective treatment connections, and culture change activities that normalize help-seeking. The intended outcome is a safer, more responsive campus environment where students facing mental health or substance use challenges are less likely to fall through the cracks and more likely to remain engaged and succeed academically.Apply for SM 24 004
