The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment at SAMHSA has announced the availability of funding for 2013 Cooperative Agreements for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). The purpose of this program is to implement screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment services for adults in primary care and community health settings, for substance misuse and substance use disorders (SUD). While the grants are only available to SSAs and tribal communities, substance use treatment organizations should look into potential partnership opportunities. Earlier this month, SAMHSA hosted an informational webinar on the program. Access the slides and learn more about the cooperative agreements here (http://www.samhsa.gov/grants/2013/ti-13-012.aspx).
