Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 23 017
The Provider's Clinical Support System - Medications for Alcohol Use Disorders (PCSS-MAUD) grant (Funding Opportunity Number TI 23 017) is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Its core goal is to strengthen the real-world ability of healthcare and counseling professionals to recognize alcohol use disorder (AUD) and treat it effectively by expanding practical knowledge and confidence around Medications for Alcohol Use Disorders (MAUD). In plain terms, the program is designed to build a well-supported training and mentorship pipeline so that more clinicians and counselors can appropriately identify AUD, initiate or support evidence-based medication treatment when indicated, and sustain high-quality care over time.
The opportunity is structured around providing training, guidance, and mentoring, which signals that the funded work is not simply public education or general awareness, but a clinician-facing capacity-building effort. The program emphasizes implementation support: helping professionals understand when and how to use MAUD, how to integrate these medications into routine care, and how to address common barriers such as clinical uncertainty, workflow challenges, stigma, and limited prior experience with AUD pharmacotherapy. The intended impact is improved readiness across the care continuum, including settings where AUD may be underdiagnosed or undertreated, by giving professionals practical tools and expert support rather than one-time informational materials.
This grant was posted on March 7, 2023, with an original application closing date of May 8, 2023. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity area is categorized under health, with the CFDA (assistance listing) number 93.243. SAMHSA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The single-award structure generally implies that SAMHSA was looking for one lead organization to operate the national or program-wide technical assistance and training effort, rather than splitting the work across multiple regional awardees.
Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which indicates that the program may not be limited to only state or local governments and likely allows certain organizations to apply depending on SAMHSA's detailed eligibility language. In practice, opportunities like this often target entities capable of running large-scale training and technical assistance programs, such as nonprofits, professional associations, academic or clinical training centers, health systems, or similar organizations with the infrastructure to deliver curriculum, maintain expert consultation networks, and provide mentoring at scale. The exact eligible applicant types and any restrictions would be defined in the full notice, but the summary clearly points to applicants that can reach and support a broad workforce of healthcare and counseling professionals.
Overall, PCSS-MAUD is a workforce-development and clinical support initiative focused specifically on medications used to treat alcohol use disorder, with the broader public health aim of increasing appropriate identification and treatment of AUD across healthcare and counseling settings. The grant concentrates resources into one primary awardee, backed by up to $1.5 million, to deliver structured training, ongoing guidance, and mentorship that translates evidence into everyday clinical practice.Apply for TI 23 017
