About this opportunity
The Federal Grant Opportunity (ID: 355929-F) is issued by the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to support first responders and key community sectors in administering emergency opioid overdose reversal drugs or devices approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This grant falls under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.243), which aims to address critical behavioral health needs through comprehensive interventions. The primary objective is to enhance emergency response capabilities for opioid overdose situations by providing resources and support for drug administration. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the program typically assesses applicants based on their ability to implement effective, evidence-based interventions in community health settings. The grant opportunity was posted on August 7, 2024, with a response deadline of July 22, 2025, providing potential applicants with nearly a year to develop and submit comprehensive proposals.
Typical awards under this grant program range from $120,000 to $5,000,000, with project periods spanning 3-5 years. The funding is designed to support various entities, including state mental health agencies, universities, community health centers, and nonprofit organizations focused on behavioral health. Performance locations are expected to be dispersed across states and regions, allowing for localized yet nationally significant interventions. Eligible applicants include other types of organizations that can demonstrate capability in addressing opioid overdose emergency responses. The grant aims to support a comprehensive approach to addiction recovery and emergency medical intervention, with a focus on expanding the capacity of first responders to effectively manage opioid-related emergencies.
