Federal mental health and behavioral health funding is distributed through SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health at NIH), and HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration). SAMHSA's Community Mental Health Services Block Grant and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant flow annually to the North Carolina state government, which sub-awards to community mental health centers, FQHCs, and nonprofit behavioral health providers across the state. Competitive SAMHSA grants — including Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) expansion awards, Crisis Services grants, and Minority AIDS Initiative grants — are open directly to qualifying organizations in North Carolina.
NIMH funds mental health research at academic institutions and research organizations in North Carolina, focusing on clinical trials, dissemination and implementation science, and research on evidence-based behavioral interventions. For North Carolina crisis services providers, SAMHSA's 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline funding, Crisis Stabilization Unit grants, and Mobile Crisis Team grants are critical federal revenue sources. HRSA's Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) program funds universities and workforce training organizations in North Carolina to train behavioral health practitioners in shortage areas. Award amounts range from $250,000 annually for community grants to over $3 million for multi-year CCBHC expansion awards.
