Open Funding Opportunities

The intersection of the criminal-legal system and the community-based healthcare system is a critical target for addressing the overdose crisis. Given the recent evolution of both the epidemiology of the overdose crisis and public policies intended to support overdose prevention efforts, new research is needed to take effective interventions to scale in law enforcement, jails, courts, and community corrections. There is also a pressing need to rigorously test new and emerging models for effectively addressing the complex needs of individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) and/or high overdose risk in these settings. Of particular importance is the coordination of services between public health and public safety agencies, to ensure continuity of care for individuals as they transition between these systems.

To support research on effective interventions and implementation strategies for addressing SUD, overdose risk, and common co-occurring conditions in these populations and systems, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) intends to continue the Justice Community Overdose Innovation Network (JCOIN) – Phase II. The purpose of the network is to bring together a national consortium of investigators and practitioner partners to conduct an array of research and capacity building activities to improve the delivery of effective interventions for adults and youth, spanning the key points of the sequential intercept model (i.e., crisis intervention, emergency response, law enforcement diversion/deflection, pre-trial services, courts, jail, prison, re-entry services, probation, parole).

The structure of the network will include multiple research centers, working in collaboration with four complementary resource and support centers. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) seeks applications for JCOIN Phase II Clinical Research Hubs.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP).
