Can you apply?
This grant is for state governments and state-level agencies seeking to expand treatment services for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders and maternal mental health conditions. Applicants must demonstrate capacity to provide integrated, evidence-based services. The program funds initiatives that strengthen existing state systems and serve women and their families during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Eligible recipients typically include state substance abuse and mental health agencies, state health departments, and their designated contractors. Organizations must show coordination with obstetric and behavioral health providers. The grant supports system-level improvements, not individual treatment providers operating alone.
This is a competitive grant. Applicants should describe their state's current service gaps and capacity-building plan. Multi-state or regional applications are not eligible; this is state-specific funding.

💡 Tips for applicants
- Focus on integrated services: Show how substance use disorder and maternal mental health treatment will connect. Siloed programs are less competitive.
- Include obstetric partnerships: Describe relationships with OB/GYN providers, hospitals, and prenatal clinics. This coordination is essential.
- Use evidence-based models: Reference specific, published treatment models (e.g., MATing Circles, MAT in OB settings). Avoid unproven approaches.
- Demonstrate state buy-in: Secure letters of support from state health director and relevant agencies. Political commitment strengthens applications.
- Plan for sustainability: Explain how services will continue after grant funding ends. Address long-term funding strategy and revenue sources.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applicants propose treatment expansion without addressing state-level system barriers or coordination gaps. Vague descriptions of evidence-based practices—such as "we will use best practices"—without citing specific, published models hurt competitiveness. Weak OB/GYN and prenatal provider partnerships undermine integrated care claims.
