About this opportunity

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is soliciting investigator-initiated cooperative agreement applications to develop, implement, and rigorously evaluate strategies addressing barriers to evidence-based linkage to care services for individuals with opioid use disorder in health care settings, with applicant eligibility spanning tribal organizations, independent school districts, special district governments, city and township governments, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, state governments, county governments, small businesses, and public or Indian housing authorities. All applicants must establish partnerships with at least one public health entity or bona fide agent to identify solutions to linkage-to-care challenges and must collaborate with a local champion in a health care setting to improve linkage to care services and outcomes measured by at least two required measures defined in the NOFO. Proposed strategies should focus on individuals with opioid use disorder or those meeting OUD criteria and at risk of opioid overdose, with or without involvement of other substances; solutions must be actionable approaches adoptable by clinicians and health systems in real-world settings ensuring comprehensive overdose prevention services availability. The cooperative agreement period of performance runs 1 to 5 years with initial awards providing funds for the first 12-month budget period. After initial awards, subject to satisfactory progress and fund availability, projects may continue non-competitively. Research applications are evaluated on scientific and technical merit, including degree of satisfaction of essential requirements, clarity of purpose and personnel qualifications, feasibility and likelihood of producing meaningful results, alignment with national health priorities, and budget reasonableness. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.136, Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs.

Forecast synopsis

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC, Injury Center) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to develop, implement, and rigorously evaluate strategies to address and overcome barriers to implementing evidence-based linkage to care services in health care settings. Strategies should focus on individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) or who meet criteria consistent with an OUD and are at risk of an opioid overdose with or without involvement of other substances.

Applicants are expected to have at least one partnership with a public health entity or bona fide agent to identify solutions to challenges in linkages to care. The proposed research should articulate how partnerships with public health entities were established or fostered. All applicants must also propose to collaborate with a local champion in a health care setting to improve linkage to care services and outcomes.

Outcomes can be captured by at least two required measures as defined in the NOFO.

Solutions are expected to be actionable approaches that can be adopted by clinicians and health systems in real-world settings and ensure availability of comprehensive overdose prevention services.
