Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACL AOD TBSG 0281
The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State Partnership Program Mentor State Funding Opportunity is a federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), Administration on Disabilities. Offered in FY 2018 as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACL-AOD-TBSG-0281; CFDA 93.234), it is designed to support states that already have a relatively mature TBI infrastructure and can both sustain and expand that system while also helping other states build capacity. The overall aim is to strengthen statewide systems of services and supports that improve independence, health, and well-being for people living with TBI across the lifespan, as well as for their families and caregivers.
A central feature of ACLs approach is a two-tier model intended to increase national impact. Under this model, Partner State Grants help states that are earlier in development build or enhance foundational TBI infrastructure, while Mentor State Grants fund more established states to keep advancing their programs and to actively mentor one or more Partner States. Mentor States are expected to share practical expertise, strategies, and working models with Partner States so those states can improve access to comprehensive, coordinated services for individuals with TBI and their families. In addition, Mentor States are expected to work collaboratively with other Mentor States and ACL to strengthen national coordination and collaboration around TBI services and supports, not just within their own borders.
The opportunity is limited to eligible government applicants, specifically state governments and federally recognized tribal governments. As a cooperative agreement, the award structure typically implies substantial federal involvement in guiding or partnering on key activities, rather than a more hands-off relationship that can occur with some standard grants. For FY 2018, ACL anticipated making about 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $300,000.
Applicants for Mentor State funding must commit to several required infrastructure and coordination elements. These include providing a required state match (specified as 21), supporting a state TBI advisory board, and dedicating at least one full-time staff person to the work. Grantees must develop an annual TBI state plan, and they must create and/or expand a state TBI registry, reflecting an emphasis on data-driven planning and system improvement. Beyond building their own system, Mentor States must also partner with one or more Partner States to help grow those states capacity for delivering coordinated TBI services and supports, while simultaneously participating in cross-state and ACL-facilitated efforts to improve national alignment and outcomes.
ACL also notes that this Mentor State competition is one of two related opportunities available under the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2014. Prospective applicants are advised to review both this announcement and the separate Partner State Grants announcement before applying, because they address different stages of state infrastructure development. ACL encourages eligible entities to apply to both announcements if they wish; however, ACL will not make more than one award to any single applicant. If an applicant scores in the fundable range for both, they may choose which award to accept. The Mentor State opportunity is therefore best suited for states that can demonstrate established capacity and are prepared not only to maintain and expand their own TBI systems, but also to serve as a resource and mentor to other states.
Key administrative details include the posting date of February 14, 2018, and an application deadline of April 16, 2018, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.Apply for HHS 2018 ACL AOD TBSG 0281
