Required next actionConfirm the lead applicant is the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, Maryland Department of Juvenile Services, or an eligible local detention center; verify active SAM.gov and UEI requirements and GMS access; define the residential, jail-based, pretrial or aftercare SUD treatment strategy; secure community-based substance-use treatment partners where possible because those partnerships receive priority consideration; complete the required narrative, goals and objectives, data plan, staffing, sustainability, budget, spending plan and Organizational Capacity Questionnaire; and submit the complete application in the Maryland Grants Management System by September 11, 2026 at 11:59 PM.
Broad Eligibility
Direct applicants are limited to the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services, and local detention centers. Each eligible entity may submit no more than one application and must satisfy SAM.gov, UEI and Maryland Grants Management System requirements. Healthcare and community behavioral-health organizations are not direct applicants, but RSAT gives priority consideration to applications involving partnerships with community-based substance-use treatment programs and supports continuity of care, medication-assisted treatment, aftercare and community reintegration.
Atlas Analysis
High-value Maryland justice-health and behavioral-health opportunity because it directly funds evidence-based substance-use treatment, medication-assisted treatment, co-occurring mental-health care, reentry planning and community aftercare. The narrow lead-applicant rule makes this most actionable through partnerships: community SUD providers, behavioral-health organizations and healthcare partners should identify an eligible detention or state-agency lead and build a clinically credible continuity-of-care model around screening, treatment, medications, discharge planning, referral and post-release services.
