The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is offering a cooperative agreement for the Emergency Department Substance Use Surveillance System, aimed at enhancing drug early warning indicators through expanded testing methodologies. The project focuses on re-testing previously collected urine samples to identify a broader range of drugs, including emerging substances like xylazine and fentanyl, and aims to analyze these results in conjunction with electronic health records to improve drug exposure surveillance across various populations. This initiative is crucial for reinforcing best practices and standardizing testing in emergency departments nationwide. Interested applicants, specifically private institutions of higher education, should note that the funding ceiling is set at $150,000, with a submission deadline of September 17, 2024.
