Overdose Data to Action: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL)

closed

The statutory language under Section 311 of the PHS Act  PHSA § 311 (c)(1) provides CDC with the authority to enter into cooperative agreements with local health departments. In addition, the SUPPORT Act authorizes CDC to award grants to States, localities, and Indian tribes for purposes of carrying out overdose prevention and surveillance activities. In keeping with authorization language as well as jurisdictional organizational capacity, eligible entities for this NOFO include health departments and special district governments serving localities and territories and their bona fide agents. Local jurisdictional health departments, in keeping with authorizing language above, may determine and subcontract out NOFO funding to reach local communities and local partners.CDC does offer additional funding mechanisms for overdose prevention activities that are tailored to state jurisdictions. As a complementary effort to the Overdose Data to Action: LOCAL NOFO, CDC is concurrently offering an opportunity tailored to state jurisdictions, called Overdose Data to Action in States. Strategies within this OD2A for States funding opportunity are tailored to state agencies. CDC also provides funding to Tribal Epidemiology Centers  via the cooperative agreement "Building Public Health Infrastructure in Tribal Communities to Accelerate Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in Indian Country program (CDC-RFA-DP17-1704)” and tribes or tribal-serving organizations via the cooperative agreement "Tribal Public Health Capacity-Building and Quality Improvement Umbrella Cooperative Agreement (CDC-RFA-OT18-1803).
