County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/08/2023
Size of the Grant: $400,000,000
Grant Duration: 5 years
Details:
U.S. drug overdose deaths increased to historic levels in recent years, with provisional estimates indicating over 108,000 predicted deaths occurring in the 12 months ending May 2022. While increases are seen across the U.S. and in most populations, recent increases were highest among certain racial/ethnic minority populations, including non-Hispanic Black (44%) and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander persons (44%). Systemic racism and its impacts on social determinants of health have resulted in disparities in access to, linkage to, and retention in treatment for substance use disorders, compounding risk in certain populations.
While most overdose deaths involve opioids, deaths involving stimulants alone or with opioids have also substantially increased. Data from substance use disorder treatment programs also show an increase in persons reporting stimulants as the primary substance of use at treatment admission.
Overdose Data to Action: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL) will support city or county local health departments (LHDs), special district health departments, and territories to use data to drive actions that reduce overdose morbidity and mortality in communities, with a primary focus on opioids and/or stimulants.
The NOFO has three components:
- Component A: Core Prevention and Surveillance Strategies (required)
- Component B: Drug Product and/or Paraphernalia Testing (optional)
- Component C: Linkage to and Retention in Care Surveillance (optional)
Within the five years, recipients will:
- Decrease nonfatal and fatal drug overdoses, overall and especially among disproportionately affected and underserved populations, with a primary focus on overdoses involving opioids and/or stimulants, including polysubstance use.
- Reduce health inequities related to overdose by closing gaps in access to care and services.
- Integrate harm reduction strategies and principles.
- Improve linkage to and re-engagement and retention in services, care, treatment, and recovery, focused on opioid use disorder (OUD) and stimulant use disorder (StUD).
- Build overdose surveillance infrastructure.
- Track and address emerging drug threats
- Track linkage to and retention in care.
Purpose of the Program
The central goal in OD2A: LOCAL is to use data to drive action steps that reduce overdose morbidity and mortality in communities quickly, while addressing health disparities, with a primary focus on opioid, stimulant, and polysubstance use involving opioids and/or stimulants.
