State Opioid Response grant informational meetings

DHS will be hosting two virtual events at the end of October to discuss the upcoming request for proposals for the next round of State Opioid Response (SOR) grants.

Minnesota has received $11,225,707 for 2020 and $11,225,707 for 2021 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to help address the opioid crisis by:

  • Increase access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
  • Increase targeted outreach to culturally specific opioid use disorder clinics and prescribers to reach those most at risk
  • Increase evidence based prevention, treatment and recovery services

This is the next round of SOR grants, building on the work that is currently underway. However, new and smaller providers are especially encouraged to apply.

There will be two virtual events:
