About this opportunity
This grant opportunity from SAMHSA supports training first responders and other community members to administer naloxone for opioid overdose reversal. Applicants must be able to train first responders on recognizing overdose symptoms and administering naloxone. Funding will be awarded through a competitive process evaluating an applicant's plan, experience, and community need. Applications are due by April 15, 2024.
Grantees must operate within the United States and fund training for first responders and other sectors in local communities impacted by the opioid crisis. Award amounts will vary depending on the proposed activities and number of individuals trained. Performance sites will likely include emergency response locations, law enforcement offices, and health facilities in regions experiencing high overdose rates.
Synopsis
The purpose of this program is to provide resources to support first responders and members of other key community sectors on training, administering, and distributing naloxone and other Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved overdose reversal medications or devices. Recipients will be expected to establish processes, protocols, and mechanisms for warm hand-off referrals to appropriate treatment, recovery, harm reduction, and other psychosocial resource support services. Recipients will also provide safety education around fentanyl, synthetic opioids, and other drug trends associated with overdoses.
