Opportunity Information: Apply for SP 18 006
The Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SP 18 006) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically its Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP). For FY 2018, the program focus is framed as "Improving Access to Overdose Treatment" (short title: OD Treatment Access). The overall purpose is to reduce opioid overdose deaths and related harms by expanding community access to FDA-approved overdose reversal drugs or devices for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, while also strengthening the connections that move overdose survivors into ongoing substance use disorder treatment.
The core idea behind the program is practical and community-facing: SAMHSA intends to fund organizations and clinicians who are positioned to increase prescribing, co-prescribing, and broader availability of overdose reversal medications, then spread those practices outward by training other prescribers and key community supporters. Award recipients are expected to work collaboratively with other prescribers at the local level to develop and refine best practices for prescribing and co-prescribing overdose reversal drugs. Once these best practices are established, recipients must actively train prescribers across important community sectors and also train individuals who support people at high risk of overdose, helping to ensure the tools and knowledge to respond to an overdose are not confined to a single clinic or program.
A major backbone resource for this effort is SAMHSA's Opioid Overdose Prevention Toolkit, originally released in 2013 to help communities prevent overdose deaths and adverse events. The grant program explicitly calls for using this toolkit along with other resources to train and equip health care providers and pharmacists on appropriate prescribing practices for overdose treatment drugs or devices that are approved or cleared under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In other words, the program is not just about purchasing or distributing medication; it is also about building consistent, evidence-informed prescribing practices and making sure the professionals who can expand access (including pharmacists, where relevant) have the training and support to do it safely and effectively.
Another central requirement is making sure overdose response does not end at reversal. The program stresses that recipients must establish protocols that connect patients who have experienced a drug overdose to appropriate ongoing treatment. This includes medication-assisted treatment (often referred to as MAT) and access to counseling and behavioral therapies that support recovery and reduce the risk of repeat overdose. The expectation is that grantees will help create a clear pathway from the emergency event to longer-term care, improving continuity and reducing the common gap where individuals are revived but never successfully linked to treatment.
Eligibility is targeted to entities that can directly influence prescribing and treatment access. SAMHSA indicates it will award OD Treatment Access funds to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Opioid Treatment Programs, and practitioners who hold a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine. These applicant types are singled out because they are already embedded in the health care and treatment infrastructure and can more quickly operationalize training, protocols, and expanded access.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the health category (Funding Activity Category: Health), associated with CFDA number 93.243. The opportunity was posted on April 5, 2018, with an original application closing date of June 4, 2018. SAMHSA anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of $200,000 per award. The limited number of expected awards and the clear ceiling suggest a focused cohort model, where a small number of recipients implement and demonstrate strong local partnership approaches that can be replicated elsewhere.
In summary, this opportunity funds a combination of expanded overdose reversal access, local prescriber partnership building, and training-based dissemination of best practices, all paired with concrete protocols that connect overdose survivors to medication-assisted treatment and counseling. The program is designed to move communities beyond isolated overdose response and toward a coordinated system where reversal medication access is widespread and every overdose event becomes an actionable point of entry into effective treatment.Apply for SP 18 006
