Historically Black Colleges and Universities Center for Excellence (HBCU-CFE) in Substance Abuse and Mental Health

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Center for Excellence (HBCU-CFE) in Substance Abuse and Mental Health at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is funded through a cooperative agreement with SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), Grant Number TI020447.

The goals of the HBCU-CFE are:

To foster the development of programs and to facilitate the exchange of substance abuse and mental health information
To provide culturally appropriate substance abuse and mental health resources to HBCUs
To promote the development of a diverse workforce by exposing students to opportunities such as internships, mentoring and leadership training
The HBCU-CFE, through an established HBCU network, will advance these goals by building and strengthening collaborative partnerships.

The HBCU-CFE was established as a result of the accomplishments of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities-National Resource Center (HBCU-NRC) for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Infrastructure Development. The HBCU-NRC was funded by SAMHSA.
