The application window for two Evidence-Based Practice and
Community-Defined Evidence Practice (EBP/CDEP) grants, as part of
the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), will
close the first week of November. These two grants are part of a
six-round grant series totaling $429 million for organizations
and government entities to scale EBP/CDEPs that improve
behavioral health based on robust evidence for effectiveness,
impact on racial equity, and sustainability.
Round Three: Early Childhood Wraparound Services
This summer, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)
released a
Request for Application (RFA) for the third round of EBP/CDEP
grants, which seeks proposals from individuals, organizations,
and agencies to scale early childhood wraparound services,
totaling $60 million. Eligible grant recipients include local
agencies, such as First 5 associations, and county governments,
including county behavioral health and public health departments.
The deadline to submit applications, which was originally set to
close on October 6, has been extended to November 1 at
5:00 pm. Additional information about the grant program,
including the RFA and an FAQ document, can be found on the
EBP/CDEP
Grants webpage.
Round Five: Early Intervention Programs and Practices
Last month, DHCS, in partnership with the Mental Health Services
Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC), released an RFA
for the fifth round of EBP/CDEP grants, which seeks proposals to
scale early intervention programs and practices that provide
mental health and wellness services to children, youth, parents,
and caregivers in California with a specific focus on children
and youth from specified communities. Up to $80 million in total
grants are available to eligible applicants, which include local
agencies, such as First 5 associations, and county governments,
including county behavioral health and public health departments.
The deadline to submit applications is November 3 at 3:00
pm. Additional information about the grant program,
