The Nevada Department of Education (NDE) operates the statewide Trauma Recovery Grant Project to expand access to trauma-specific mental-health treatment for eligible Nevada students who are uninsured or underinsured. NDE states that the project is supported by a $5 million, five-year federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education and reimburses enrolled providers for qualifying trauma-specific interventions.
Who is served
The program is intended for Nevada preschool, elementary and secondary students from low-income families who have experienced trauma and subsequently show academic, behavioral, attendance or other school-related impacts. Eligible students may be homeschooled or enrolled in a Nevada public, private or charter school.
Provider eligibility and participation
Parents or guardians may select a provider. To participate, the provider must be licensed by the State of Nevada, deliver secular and neutral trauma-specific services meeting reasonable evidence-based, best-practice, promising-practice or evidence-informed standards, be an approved vendor through the Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division and be enrolled in NevadaEPro. Referrals may come through parents, school personnel or participating providers.
Funding and timing
The official NDE page identifies a $5 million five-year federal award supporting provider reimbursement but does not publish a per-provider award ceiling, reimbursement schedule or a fixed provider-enrollment deadline. Atlas therefore treats the current opportunity as an active continuous provider-participation pathway while NDE continues to maintain the program as open and does not infer an unverified closing date.
Atlas analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 86/100. This is a substantial statewide school-linked behavioral-health funding pathway with a clear provider mechanism, defined student population and direct reimbursement structure. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The verified scope is trauma-specific mental-health treatment by licensed providers; the official program does not establish an allowable clinical-device, telehealth hardware, RPM or remote physical-exam procurement path for the N9+.
