Bottom line
Both SAMHSA opportunities are mission-aligned (mobile, underserved populations, nervous system/behavioral health) but structurally mismatched this round: imminent deadlines kill competitive timelines, and award sizes suggest SAMHSA expects larger infrastructure than Soul Medicine Mobile currently operates. Action: Document both programs. Plan 12–18 month capacity-building strategy (staffing, partnerships, data systems) to compete credibly in 2027 cycles.
