GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

HRSA is funding 2 grants (up to $500K each, $1.29M total) for screening and treatment of maternal mental health and substance use disorders. Requires cost-sharing. These support healthcare systems in implementing universal screening for perinatal mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, SUD) and connecting positive screens to treatment. Focus is on the clinical system — not research.

Who Should Apply

Healthcare systems, FQHCs, hospital systems, or organizations that provide prenatal/postpartum care and want to implement systematic mental health and SUD screening with treatment referral pathways.

Who Should NOT Apply

Mental health providers without obstetric partnerships, research institutions, advocacy organizations, or entities without existing perinatal care delivery.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

•Must implement screening for maternal mental health and SUD
•Must connect positive screens to treatment services
•2 awards up to $500K each
•Cost-sharing IS required
•Must serve perinatal patients in clinical settings
•Must use validated screening tools

💡 GrantQuick Tip

Only 2 awards — very competitive. Show that you deliver babies (or provide prenatal care) and currently have gaps in mental health/SUD screening. The winning applications have: (1) a specific validated screening tool (PHQ-9, Edinburgh, SBIRT), (2) a clear pathway from positive screen to treatment within the same system or a formal partnership, and (3) data on your current screening rate vs. your target. If you can show you deliver 5,000 babies/year but screen only 30% for depression, and this grant gets you to 95%, that's compelling.

Competitiveness: High — 2 awards with cost-sharing requirement. Healthcare systems with large perinatal populations and treatment partnerships are best positioned.

What This Grant Funds

The MMHSUD Program helps improve maternal mental health and substance use disorder outcomes for pregnant and postpartum women by providing obstetric, primary care, and other maternal health providers with timely access to teleconsultation, training, and care coordination support including resource and referrals.
