Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 23 019
The Center of Excellence for Tobacco-Free Recovery (Funding Opportunity Number SM 23 019) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), under CFDA 93.243. It is designed to fund a single national effort that either establishes a new center of excellence or sustains an existing one, with a focused mission: building and spreading specialized expertise in commercial tobacco cessation for people who are living with mental health disorders and/or substance use disorders. The core public health problem the grant is trying to address is the persistently high rate of tobacco use in these populations, along with the severe health consequences that follow from long-term commercial tobacco exposure.
The funded recipient is expected to function as a national hub of technical knowledge and practical support, not simply as a research or awareness program. A major emphasis is on building results-oriented collaborations across stakeholder organizations, meaning the center should actively convene and coordinate partners that influence tobacco-free treatment and recovery environments. In practice, that typically involves aligning behavioral health systems, treatment providers, recovery organizations, public health partners, and other relevant groups around shared goals, consistent messaging, and implementable practices that reduce tobacco use and support cessation.
Another central deliverable is education and training for behavioral health providers. The opportunity is geared toward strengthening the workforce that serves people with mental and substance use disorders, so providers are better prepared to address commercial tobacco use as part of routine care rather than treating it as a separate or lower-priority issue. The intent is to expand provider capacity through training and technical assistance that is practical, scalable, and grounded in the realities of behavioral health settings. Overall, the program positions tobacco cessation as a recovery-supportive service and aims to normalize integrating cessation into mental health and substance use treatment.
The grant uses the standard federal grant funding instrument and anticipates one award, with an award ceiling of $1,250,000. The opportunity was created on March 17, 2023, with an original application closing date of May 16, 2023. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional details provided in the full eligibility section of the official notice, indicating that applicants should verify specific eligibility requirements in the complete announcement. The overarching outcome SAMHSA is pursuing is a measurable reduction in commercial tobacco use among people with mental and/or substance use disorders by strengthening national leadership, coordination, and provider training through a dedicated center of excellence.Apply for SM 23 019
