Mental Health Service Professional (MHSP) Demonstration Grant Program (Funding Opportunity)

Application deadline: May 15, 2024 

This program provides competitive grants to support and demonstrate innovative partnerships to train school-based mental health services providers for employment in schools and local educational agencies (LEAs). The goal of this program is to increase the number and diversity of high-quality, trained providers available to address the shortages of mental health services professionals in schools served by high-need LEAs. Proposed partnerships must include one or more high-need LEAs or a State educational agency (SEA) on behalf of one or more high-need LEAs and one or more eligible institutions of higher education (eligible IHE). Applications will be accepted under three absolute priority areas: 

  1. Absolute Priority 1—Expand Capacity of High-need LEAs 

  1. Absolute Priority 2—Applications From New Potential Grantees 

  1. Absolute Priority 3—Applications from Grantees that Are Not New Potential Grantees
