Summary

MISSION & GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The mission of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is to provide statewide leadership of a high-quality mental health and addiction prevention, treatment and recovery system that is effective and valued by all Ohioans. OhioMHAS strives to be a national leader in implementing a comprehensive, accessible, and quality-focused system of addiction and mental health care and wellness for all Ohio citizens.

PURPOSE

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services ( Ohio MHAS) is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to serve as a federal awards compliance, administration, and oversight consultant for the agency’s indirect cost calculation. The consultant will perform an analysis of the Department’s existing indirect cost rate, procedures, and practices to evaluate compliance with relevant federal regulations, including Uniform Administrative Requirements.

BACKGROUND

OhioMHAS administers more than $300 million in federal grant awards each year. The majority of these federal grants originate from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Most of this grant funding is passed through to local government partners and care providers.
