Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale

Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS)

Funding Opportunity

2015 Peer-Run Organization/Recovery Community Organization Projects to Promote Best And Emerging Practices In Peer Services

In September 2011, the Center for Social Innovation (C4) was contracted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to operate the Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS), which promotes widespread adoption of recovery-oriented supports, services, and systems for people with substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and/or co-occurring disorders. 

To support BRSS TACS’s efforts to promote and support capacity building, implementation and training opportunities for best and emerging practices, C4 is requesting capabilities statements from Peer-Run Organizations/Recovery Community Organizations (PRO/RCOs) to carry out activities to promote best and emerging practices in peer services.

 

 

Subcontract Activities

Subcontractors will work within their state, district, territory or tribal jurisdictions to carry out one of the following three types of activities:

  • Promoting the use of best or emerging practices for peer-delivered recovery supports; or
  • Providing virtual training and educational activities; or
  • Planning and developing capacity and/or infrastructure to establish new peer-delivered recovery supports. 

These activities are in support of C4’s efforts to bring recovery-oriented policies, practices, and infrastructure developments to scale.

Subcontract Funds

Up to eight (8) subcontracts in the amount of $40,000 each will be made by the Center for Social Innovation to PRO/RCOs in states, Territories and Tribal Jurisdictions.

BRSS TACS will provide guidance and support on project activities during the six-month subcontract period, including a kickoff call and three teleconferences to share project status, successes and challenges.
