Request for Grant Proposals - Opioid Settlement Community Grants

The Oregon Health Authority is soliciting grant proposals under solicitation S-44300-00017937 to address the opioid crisis through five primary funding categories: Primary Prevention, Overdose Prevention and Risk Reduction, Treatment, Recovery, and Innovative Research. The program aims to reduce substance use disorders, decrease related deaths, and eliminate disparities and inequities. Funding is available in two tiers, with Tier 1 ranging from 25,000 to 75,000 dollars and Tier 2 ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 dollars. The grant period spans two years, from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2029, with all funds required to be spent or reserved by the expiration date. Proposals must be submitted via Smartsheet by 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on December 17, 2026. The application requires several key documents, including proposer certifications, a project narrative, a project plan, and a budget narrative. Evaluation is based on a three-step process involving eligibility screening, a scoring rubric focusing on the project narrative and scope, and an overall reviewer assessment. Key financial constraints include a 15 percent cap on indirect costs and a 250,000 dollar limit on capital expenditures for Tier Two awards. Additionally, funding is prohibited for services billable to Medicaid or other health insurance and for political lobbying. Awardees must adhere to strict non-discrimination and accessibility standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
