Tier 4.C: up to $300,000

TIER 4.C:  This funding is designed to support projects that implement tailored Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)/Stimulant Use Disorder (STUD) programming to improve outcomes for a sub-population of individuals with substance use disorder. This Tier is designed to support the implementation of ​tailored, specialized​ OUD and STUD practices, services, or programs for specific populations with unmet and/or elevated needs. Note: recruiting special populations to participate in a standard project, program, or EBP does NOT qualify for Tier ​4.​C funding.​ ​​There are two tracks available under this solicitation:

• Track 1: Treatment Providers
  • To meet the criteria for a 4C project in the treatment provider track, the applicant must implement a new EBP, promising practice or innovation to tailor their treatment program to improve treatment outcomes for a sub population of individuals with OUD/STUD. The sub population may have unique needs (e.g., cultural, situational) that, when addressed, will result in improved outcomes. Recruiting special populations into existing programs is not a tailored treatment program because this award is designed to support specialized programming for a special population. DSAMH will not consider outreach/marketing projects as meeting the requirements.
  • Treatment providers who intend to apply for a 4.C award must review and heed the Project Design Guidance for the Treatment Provider Track (linked on this page).
• Track 2: CBOs
  • To meet the criteria for a 4C project in the CBO track, the applicant must engage individuals with OUD/STUD or expand the capacity of other CBOs to engage individuals with OUD/STUD effectively. Projects should be focused on tailored engagement and service provision approaches for a sub-population of individuals with OUD/STUD to better meet their unique needs (e.g., cultural, situational) or to build the capacity of another CBO to deliver a tailored engagement for a sub-population of individuals with OUD/STUD. Recruiting special populations into existing programs is not a tailored program. This award is designed to support specialized programming for a special population DSAMH will not consider outreach/marketing projects as meeting the requirements.
  • CBOs who intend to apply for a 4.C award must review and heed the Project Design Guidance for CBOs Track (linked on this page).
