💡 Tips for applicants

- Highlight letters of support from state mental health/substance abuse agencies and consumer advocacy groups.
- Include a detailed plan for recruiting, training, and retaining peer leaders from underrepresented communities.
- Emphasize sustainability: show how the network will operate beyond the federal funding period.
- Address diversity, equity, and inclusion in network membership and leadership explicitly.

Applications fail when they lack evidence of existing peer support experience or state-level partnerships. Weak budgets fail to allocate sufficient funds for peer staff compensation and training. Incomplete sustainability plans suggest the network will collapse when federal funding ends.
