Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 22 008
The First Responders - Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act Grants program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), listed under CFDA 93.243. Its central goal is to reduce deaths from opioid overdoses by equipping first responders and other key community partners with the training and practical resources needed to carry and use Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act approved overdose reversal drugs and devices in real-world emergency situations. In practice, this typically means supporting the purchase, distribution, and deployment of naloxone and related overdose reversal tools, along with the instruction and protocols that ensure these tools are used quickly, safely, and effectively when an overdose is known or suspected.
A major expectation of the program is that grantees go beyond simply reversing overdoses in the moment. Recipients are required to build and formalize processes, protocols, and mechanisms that connect people who experience an overdose (and often their families) to appropriate treatment and recovery support services afterward. That linkage piece is a core part of the program design: the grant is meant to strengthen the pathway from emergency response to ongoing care, including referral systems, coordination with treatment providers, and connections to recovery and other psychosocial supports that can help reduce the likelihood of repeat overdose.
The opportunity also places strong emphasis on responder and community safety, particularly in relation to high-potency opioids and other dangerous substances such as fentanyl and carfentanil, as well as other licit and illicit drugs that may pose exposure risks in the field. Applicants and eventual awardees are expected to establish practical safety procedures and training that address these hazards, which can include handling protocols, situational awareness practices, and operational guidance meant to protect first responders and other frontline staff during overdose responses and related encounters.
The program is explicitly targeted toward communities that are being hit harder than national averages by opioid use and overdose. The population of focus is defined through measurable indicators, including high rates of opioid and other drug-related overdose, high levels of primary treatment admissions, and elevated overdose rates overall. On top of demonstrating disproportionate impact, applicants also have to show that the population they intend to serve is underserved, meaning there are real gaps in access to treatment providers, emergency medical services, and recovery and psychosocial support services. The intent is to prioritize places where the need is high and the local infrastructure is thin, so grant funds can meaningfully improve both emergency overdose outcomes and the ability to connect people to longer-term supports.
This funding opportunity (TI 22 008) was posted on February 4, 2022, with an original closing date of April 5, 2022. Awards were expected to be made to about 21 recipients, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per grant. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the opportunity materials, which signals that applicants may include a range of governmental or quasi-governmental entities and potentially other organizations specified in the full eligibility section, particularly those positioned to coordinate first responder overdose response and community referral networks at the state, tribal, or other government levels.Apply for TI 22 008
