This federal Project Grant award of $2,248,425.00 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (CFDA 93.136 - Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs) supports a 5-year project at the University of Illinois to reduce opioid overdose and substance use-related stigma on Chicago's West Side. The project trains non-substance-using friends and family members of people who use opioids to serve as "harm reduction champions" in the community. This evidence-based approach aims to address social determinants of health and promote health equity by building local capacity for overdose prevention and reducing stigma around substance use disorders.
