Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) COPS Hiring Program (CHP)

• Applications due May 22, 2013
• The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is accepting grant applications for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) for the hiring and rehiring of additional career law enforcement officers in an effort to create and preserve jobs and increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts.
• Applicants who request officer positions in order to deploy school resource officers (SROs) will likewise receive additional consideration for FY 2013 CHP funding. Applicants who wish to do so must choose the “School Based Policing through School Resource Officers” community policing problem area in their 2013 CHP application. Note that applicants requesting multiple officer positions in order to deploy school resource officers must deploy all their officer positions as school resource officers. Moreover, if awarded CHP funding, CHP grantees that chose this specific community policing problem area will not be allowed to change it post-award.
• CHP grantees that use CHP funding to deploy SROs will also be required to submit to the COPS Office the contact information for each school partner where they intend to deploy the SROs, and to provide a Memorandum of Understanding between the CHP grantee and the school partner.

Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS)

• Applications are due on the recurring dates of March 31 and September 30 each year

• The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announces SAMHSA’s Knowledge Dissemination Conference Grants program (also referred to as SAMHSA Conference Grants). The purpose of the Conference Grant program is to disseminate knowledge about practices within the mental health services and substance abuse prevention and treatment fields and to integrate that knowledge into real-world practice as effectively and efficiently as possible.

• It is not the practice of SAMHSA to provide total support for planned meetings and conferences. The maximum Conference Grant award is $50,000 for a 12-month project period. Only direct costs will be funded under this program. Not all SAMHSA’s Centers will be awarding Conference Grants in any given year. Please visit the SAMHSA website at www.samhsa.gov to learn which Centers are providing funding and the number and size of awards for any specific year.
