The HHS Office
on Women’s Health invites you to apply for the Prevention of Opioid Misuse in
Women: Office on Women’s Health Prevention Awards. You can apply here.
Up to 12
projects (cooperative agreements) will be funded to prevent the misuse of opioids by women across their lifespans. Projects
must focus on primary or secondary prevention efforts only and include
partnership and collaboration components. Regional, state, local, and community organizations should
propose organized activities to achieve this goal through:
- program
development and implementation,
- health
education targeting health professionals and/or women directly, or
- policy efforts
to support primary and/or secondary prevention.
All projects
will include an evaluation component. All projects will seek to include socioeconomic
diversity and consider cultural and social determinants that may function as
barriers to prevention and treatment, such as the fear of criminalization of
substance abuse, negative stigma associated with substance abuse, and the
implicit and systemic bias of health professionals and health.
