Project: State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis Grant Program 
Reports--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is authorized under Section 1003 of the 21st Century Cures 
Act, as amended, to support a grant program, for up to 2 years, that 
addresses the supplemental activities pertaining to opioids currently 
undertaken by the state agency or territory and will support a 
comprehensive response to the opioid epidemic. The State Targeted 
Response to the Opioid Crisis Grant (Opioid STR) program addresses 
Healthy People 2020, Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA. The primary

[[Page 31340]]

purpose of Opioid STR is to address the opioid crisis by increasing 
access to treatment, reducing unmet treatment need, and reducing opioid 
overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment 
and recovery activities for opioid use disorder (OUD) (including 
prescription opioids as well as illicit drugs such as heroin).
    There are 57 (states and jurisdictions) award recipients in this 
program. All funded states and jurisdictions will be asked to report on 
their implementation and performance through an online data collection 
system. Award recipients will report performance on the following 
measures specific to this program: Number of people who receive OUD 
treatment, number of people who receive OUD recovery services, number 
of providers implementing medication-assisted treatment, and the number 
of OUD prevention and treatment providers trained, to include NPs, PAs, 
as well as physicians, nurses, counselors, social workers, case 
managers, etc. This information will be collected at the mid-point and 
conclusion of each grant award year.
    Additionally, each award recipient will describe the purposes for 
which the grant funds received were expended and the activities under 
the program, and the ultimate recipients of amounts provided to the 
grantee in the grants.
