Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States: The purpose of this funding is to provide state health departments the guidance and resources they need to address the problematic opioid prescribing driving the prescription drug overdose epidemic. States receiving funding must address prescribing on multiple fronts. Awardees must expand and enhance their state PDMP and implement health insurer or health system interventions. States may also choose to also conduct policy evaluations or implement other prescribing innovations. These activities will impact the patient and provider behaviors driving the epidemic in the medium term and ultimately improve the health outcomes associated with this public health problem.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: State governments
Additional Information on Eligibility: Current Boost States: States funded under the Boost FOA (CDC-RFA-CE14-1404) are eligible to apply for this program. If a state currently receiving support under Prevention Boost receives funding under this FOA, it will no longer receive funding under Boost and will instead receive funding exclusively under this program. Prevention Boost states that do not apply or are not awarded funds under this program will continue their work under Boost.
Because this funding requires activity to enhance state PDMPs, states where a PDMP is not authorized are not eligible to apply for this funding.
Applicants must provide a Letter of Support (LOS) from:

A state-level law enforcement authority in their state. The LOS must show that the law enforcement authority supports the application and agrees to regular meetings to support and coordinate activities.
The state substance abuse services authority in their state. The LOS must show that the substance abuse authority supports the application and agrees to regular meetings to support and coordinate activities.
The PDMP authority in their state showing the PDMP authority supports the application, agrees to quarterly meetings to support and coordinate activities, and how the PDMP authority will facilitate proposed activities for enhancing and maximizing the state’s PDMP.

Applicants implementing insurer/health system interventions under Priority Strategy #2 must provide a LOS from the state authority managing the entity where the work is focused. For example, if a proposal is for creating an opioid management program for the state Medicaid program, show an LOS from the Medicaid authority. If improving an element of the Workers’ Compensation program, provide a LOS from the Workers’ Compensation authority. If the applicant is integrating and/or disseminating evidence-based opioid prescribing guidelines in partnership with a particular health system or insurance program, the applicant should include a LOS from that system or program. The LOS must demonstrate the authority’s support, agreement to quarterly meetings, and explanation of how the state authority will facilitate the proposed activities.
If the priority strategy of policy evaluation is chosen, applicants must provide a LOS from agencies that maintain access to relevant data the state will be using for evaluation. The LOS must indicate the agency’s support and agreement to share data for evaluation purposes.
