Preventing Drug Overdoses: Community Prevention and Response

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is offering a discretionary federal grant to prevent drug overdose deaths by expanding access to FDA-approved opioid overdose reversal medications. The program supports community-wide prevention efforts aimed at developing and implementing local overdose prevention and response activities. It is open to domestic public and private nonprofit entities, including faith-based organizations, and does not require cost sharing or matching. The estimated total program funding is $11,050,000 across about 13 awards, and questions may be directed to Shannon Hastings at DTP-NOFO@samhsa.hhs.gov or 202-961-8620.
