The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded New York University $547,333 on September 1, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to conduct a mixed-methods study identifying state-level implementation strategies for expanding access to extended take-home methadone doses in opioid treatment programs. The award funds a phased R61/R33 project examining how state agencies—including state opioid treatment authorities and Medicaid agencies—are facilitating adoption of extended take-home dosing following SAMHSA's 2024 regulatory changes. Aim 1 involves reviewing state legal requirements and financing guidelines related to take-home methadone and interviewing state agency administrators to identify implementation strategies such as training, technical assistance, legal mandates, and financing model adjustments that support practice change. The study will identify the bundle of strategies most strongly associated with uptake of extended take-home dosing. The recipient is New York University, doing business as New York University School of Medicine, located in New York, NY. The performance period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. The assistance type is a project grant. The award is classified as implementation research supporting new knowledge and approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of opioid use disorder and related health outcomes.
