Watch / verify first
- Behavioral Health Partnerships for Early Diversion of Adults and Youth — Deadline too close to apply from scratch this cycle (1 day left). Award scale (~$703k) significantly exceeds your current budget and capacity. Set reminder for next cycle; review eligibility requirements around diversion programming infrastructure now.
- Behavioral Health Mobile Crisis Team Partnerships — Deadline too close to apply from scratch this cycle (1 day left). Award (~$764k) far exceeds your scale. Strong mission alignment on mobile delivery, but you'd need to verify partnership requirements and crisis-response capacity. Target next cycle.

Bottom line
Both SAMHSA opportunities align strategically with your mobile, community-based model and nervous-system-health focus. However, both close in 1 day—insufficient runway for competitive federal applications. Immediately log these programs, note next open dates, and begin preliminary eligibility/partnership mapping now so you're ready to submit 8–10 weeks before the next deadline. Award amounts suggest you may also need to explore capacity-building grants first.
