Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. received a $557,105 Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) for the Public Access Naloxone Design, Dissemination and Assessment (PANDDA) project, awarded April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2028. The project delivers a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for deploying public access naloxone (PAN) programs through two phases: a planning phase (R61) that rigorously assesses existing PAN initiatives through stakeholder engagement, and an implementation phase (R33) that partners with a medication technology company to design and deploy e-connected naloxone storage devices, including single-kit boxes, multi-kit boxes, and vending machines strategically positioned across three Massachusetts communities (Cambridge, Chelsea, and Lynn) using geocoding analysis of opioid overdose ambulance data. The project's deliverables include evaluation of real-world feasibility, acceptability, sustainability, and effectiveness of public naloxone distribution, with anticipated deployment of approximately 60 single-kit devices, 30 multi-kit boxes, and 3 vending machines. The research is designed to provide municipalities nationwide with scientifically validated guidance for scalable naloxone distribution models intended to increase bystander administration and reduce opioid-related deaths, addressing the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic that claimed over 60,000 lives in the 12-month period ending September 2024.Federal Grant Award Summary
