Questions

When do mental health grants close?

The next deadline is November 2, 2026 for BJA FY 2026 Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA). 4 programs take applications at any time.

Who funds mental health programs?

SAMHSA is the largest federal funder, with HRSA for rural and community health. Health foundations and some corporate funders also make mental health grants.

Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?

No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
