Colorado Grant Writing Assistance for Prevention, Intervention,
Treatment, and Recovery of Substance Use Disorders
To be eligible for Grant Writing Assistance through the Colorado Consortium program, please register your intent for assistance at least three weeks prior to the deadline of the grant for which you plan to apply.
|
In responding to opioid and other substance use disorders, representatives of frontier and rural communities expressed a need for grant writing assistance. In response to this need, the Opioid and Other Substance Use Disorders Interim Study Committee proposed funding from the Colorado General Assembly for a grant writing assistance program. This was approved as part of Senate Bill 2019-228, allocating $250,000 for the program and designating the University of Colorado, Center for Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention (the Center) as the administrator of the program.
|
|
Per statute, the funds are intended to “aid local communities in need of assistance in applying for grants to access state and federal money to address opioid and other substance use disorders in their communities.” This is inclusive of a continuum of strategies related to prevention, harm reduction, intervention, treatment, and recovery.
