This $3,000,000 Project Grant award from the Executive Office of the President Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) supports the Research and Data Analysis federal grant program (CFDA 95.007). The grant funds nine organizations to deliver community-level intervention initiatives to combat drug overdoses from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022.
The University of Baltimore receives $3 million to oversee the grant, with specific services delivered through eight sub-awards. These include expanding harm reduction, treatment and recovery services through organizations like the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences ($TBD); enhancing mobile outreach and overdose response through fire departments like the Philadelphia Fire Department ($TBD); and preventing overdoses through education and multi-sector employment strategies led by groups such as the Morgan County Partnership ($TBD). Other sub-awardees provide family-based interventions, peer recovery support, and evaluations to disrupt pathways to substance use disorders. The grant aims to address the overdose crisis through evidence-based practices tailored to local community needs.
