The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded The Johns Hopkins University $155,500 under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) on August 1, 2026, to develop and pilot the PROTECT-ED intervention, which addresses overdose and HIV prevention for individuals recently released from incarceration. The award funds research to refine and test an emergency department–based intervention designed to identify recently incarcerated patients and offer same-day medications for opioid use disorder, HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, peer-delivered prevention services, and facilitated linkage to ongoing community-based care. Aim 1 employs systematic processes and participatory prototyping to refine four core intervention components. Aim 2 conducts a single-arm implementation trial with 120 participants followed for six months, measuring primary outcomes of medications for opioid use disorder or pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake and secondary outcomes including repeat emergency department visits, opioid overdose, and medication persistence. Work is performed in Baltimore, Maryland, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. This is a Project Grant, which supports basic, clinical, translational, and implementation research to develop new knowledge and approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of drug use, misuse, addiction, drug overdose, and related health outcomes including HIV/AIDS.
