The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is forecasting a grant opportunity titled "First Responders – Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act." This program aims to support first responders and key community members in administering emergency treatments for opioid overdoses using FDA-approved drugs or devices. The initiative is critical in addressing the opioid crisis by equipping local entities, including states and tribal organizations, with the necessary resources to respond effectively to overdose situations. The estimated total funding for this program is $5,100,000, with approximately 12 awards expected, and interested applicants can reach out to Shannon Hastings at (240) 276-1869 or via email at DTPFRCARA@samhsa.hhs.gov for further information. The synopsis for this opportunity is anticipated to be posted on November 15, 2024.
