This Project Grant award, provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program, will fund an interdisciplinary educational initiative at Idaho State University (ISU) to increase confidence and reduce stigma in treating patients with substance use disorder (SUD). The $600,000 grant will train 210 students, including Doctor of Nursing Practice, public health, and counseling students, over 3 years. Key interventions include implementing SAMHSA's 12 SUD modules, facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration, providing direct clinical observation opportunities, and establishing a community advisory committee for ongoing feedback. The goal is to equip these future healthcare professionals with evidence-based SUD prevention, assessment, and treatment skills, while also teaching that SUD is a chronic disease to reduce stigma. This initiative aims to increase access to SUD screening, assessment, and services in Idaho and have a nationwide impact on improving SUD treatment.
