There is one month left until the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission’s grant applications close.
Attorney General Russell Coleman is encouraging organizations working in prevention, treatment, and recovery to apply to partner with the commission in this lifesaving work.
The commission is accepting grant applications in three areas:
Prevention
Treatment/Recovery
Research and Innovation
Interested organizations can find more information and the grant applications on the Commission’s website.
The Attorney General also requested that the commission create the first-ever special grant opportunity for projects that prioritize research and/or innovation in the fight against the drug crisis, per the release.
The Commission is seeking approaches to developing and implementing effective novel therapeutic interventions for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and/or opioid overdose prevention and co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD).
Up to $5 million will be awarded for these research and innovation grants, with the size of each grant determined by the total number of awards.
Since its creation by the General Assembly in 2021, the Opioid Abatement Commission has awarded more than $85 million to 130 organizations across the state.
