Tier 3.A: up to $75,000, maximum of 10 projects

FUNDING STATUS: CURRENTLY CLOSED

TIER 3.A: Projects to implement OUD/STUD screening, brief intervention, referral to treatment, (SBIRT) and follow-up. SBIRT is a comprehensive, integrated approach to the delivery of early intervention and referral into treatment services for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those who are at risk of developing these disorders. Outpatient medical practices (including primary care practices, Federally Qualified Health Centers, women’s health practices, infectious disease practices, dental practices, physical therapy, ophthalmology practices, etc.), hospital-based health systems (including emergency departments), and other community settings provide opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk for SUD before more severe consequences occur.

Tier 3.B: up to $300,000, maximum of 5 projects

FUNDING STATUS: CURRENTLY CLOSED

TIER 3.B: Projects to implement new evidence-based practices for persons with OUD/STUD. Evidence-based practices (EBPs) are treatment and prevention interventions related to substance use, shown by evidence to be effective. Common EBPs used in addressing OUD and STUD are available for reference in a pre-approved EBP inventory accompanying this solicitation, for reference. Tier 3.B is intended to support implementation of new EBPs to serve individuals with OUD or STUD (i.e., not to support existing services within current practices).

Projects to bring programs into fidelity with evidence-based practices for persons with OUD/STUD. Implementation fidelity is the degree to which an intervention is delivered as intended and is critical to successful translation of evidence-based interventions into practice. This activity is to move existing programs that are not an EBP into alignment with an EBP.

• Client Engagement
• Implementation Plans
• Practice/Implementation Monitoring
• Naloxone/Narcan Distribution
• HIV and Viral Hepatitis
• Ensuring Access to Care

Note: recruiting special populations to participate in a standard project, program, or EBP does NOT qualify for Tier 3.C funding.

HEAP Mini-Grants

The HEAP Mini-Grants will provide direct funding to treatment/recovery organizations and community-based organizations to better equip them to understand, engage, and address the needs of racial/ethnic minorities with OUD/STUD. This funding opportunity will be administered by Bowling Business Strategies (BBS), on behalf of DSAMH, for a five-month implementation period, from May 1, 2024, to September 29, 2024.

• HEAP CBO (up to $50,000, maximum 10 awards): This includes implementing strategies to build internal knowledge and capacity to engage constituencies at-risk for or experiencing OUD/STUD and their families, developing and enhancing referral pathways to connect individuals to OUD/STUD care, and serving as community conveners to engage community-based organizations and stakeholders to discuss and formulate community-driven strategies to address health inequities.
• HEAP TX (up to $75,000, maximum 5 awards): This includes strengthening implementation of the National Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards or collecting and analyzing equity-focused data to inform programming and services.

HEAP Community Awareness Partnerships

As part of the state’s OUD/STUD response, DSAMH is developing a range of community education/awareness campaign strategies that will be accessible to community partners, including community leaders and CBOs. DSAMH wishes to develop partnerships to refine and advance these campaigns, with a special focus on reaching racial and ethnic minorities. The focus areas of DSAMH’s current campaign strategies include:

• Reducing stigma toward persons with substance use disorders (SUD)
• Promoting awareness of and access to SUD treatment and recovery services
• Preventing SUD among youth and adults
• Reducing stigma toward medications for opioid use disorders, such as methadone and buprenorphine
• Promoting access to naloxone/Narcan
• Promoting recovery

All partnerships will include: (1) Health Equity Summit readiness support, (2) quantitative and qualitative research planning to inform and advance HEAP implementation, and (3) communications/campaign plan development support. DSAMH will also provide community partners with access to a Campaign Planner, through its partner organization Health Management Associates (HMA), to assist in the design of a customized campaign plan. The customized campaign plan will include key activities, timelines, and costs associated with implementing the campaign.
