Open Funding Opportunities

The goal of this initiative is to support action-oriented research that accelerates the translation of research to practice to address the overdose crisis. There remains an urgent need for research that advances the design of stigma-free patient-centered systems of care such that people who experience addiction can recover and sustain their recovery over the long-term. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) solicits applications that address understudied areas of opportunity, particularly those that focus on fundamental barriers or facilitators to reducing overdose deaths at the individual, provider, organizational, community, or system levels. Projects should be in alignment with the overall goals of the HEAL Initiative, and should focus on replicable, scalable, equitable approaches for accelerating the movement of evidence-based and promising treatments into routine use. This NOFO invites phased applications to support projects for which preliminary or feasibility data is not available at the time of submission. This NOFO is a companion to RFA-DA-25-077, which solicits applications for which pilot data is available.
