Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 23 005
The Promoting Integration of Primary and Behavioral Health Care grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM-23-005) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It is designed to strengthen the way healthcare systems coordinate and deliver care by bringing behavioral health services (mental health and substance use disorder services) together with primary care and broader physical health services in a more seamless, collaborative, and clinically integrated way. The program is rooted in the idea that many people who need behavioral health support also face significant physical health challenges, and that treating these needs in separate systems can lead to worse health outcomes, fragmented care, and missed opportunities for prevention and early intervention.
The grant has three core goals. First, it aims to promote full integration and collaboration in day-to-day clinical practice between behavioral healthcare providers and primary/physical healthcare providers, including approaches tailored for special populations. This focus goes beyond simple referrals or information-sharing; it emphasizes true clinical collaboration where teams coordinate care plans, communicate routinely, and align workflows so that behavioral and physical health needs are addressed together rather than in parallel. Second, the program supports the improvement of integrated care models specifically to raise overall wellness and physical health outcomes for groups that are often at higher risk of poor health and early mortality. These populations include adults with serious mental illness, adults living with both mental illness and chronic physical health conditions, children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance who also have chronic medical conditions, individuals with substance use disorders, and people with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. Third, the program promotes the implementation and enhancement of bidirectional integrated care services, meaning care goes both ways: primary care settings strengthen their ability to identify and address mental and substance use disorders, and behavioral health settings strengthen their ability to screen for and respond to physical health conditions and chronic diseases. This bidirectional model is intended to make screening, assessment, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and recovery supports more consistent and accessible across settings, using evidence-based or evidence-informed practices.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.243 and uses a grant funding instrument. The award ceiling is $2,000,000 per award, and SAMHSA anticipated making about 14 awards under this announcement. The opportunity was created on March 22, 2023, with an original application closing date of May 22, 2023. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility section of the announcement, which typically means applicants should consult the detailed notice to confirm whether their organization type, partnerships, and service setting match SAMHSA requirements.
Overall, the grant is aimed at helping organizations move toward integrated, whole-person care models that reduce fragmentation, improve coordination, and increase the likelihood that people with complex behavioral and physical health needs receive timely, appropriate, and continuous care. The emphasis on evidence-based screening and treatment, along with the bidirectional integration requirement, signals a strong preference for structured clinical workflows and measurable improvements in health outcomes rather than loose collaboration or one-directional referral networks.Apply for SM 23 005
