AI Contract Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is seeking investigator-initiated research proposals to develop, implement, and rigorously evaluate strategies that overcome barriers to linking individuals with opioid use disorder to evidence-based care in real-world health care settings. The focus is on those diagnosed with OUD or meeting diagnostic criteria for it, particularly those at risk of opioid overdose, with or without co-use of other substances. Proposals must include at least one partnership with a public health entity or its bona fide agent to address systemic challenges in care linkage, and applicants must clearly describe how these collaborations were established or strengthened. Additionally, each application must involve a local champion within a health care setting who will work directly to enhance the delivery and outcomes of linkage to care services. Solutions must be practical, actionable, and scalable for adoption by clinicians and health systems, ensuring wide availability of comprehensive overdose prevention services. Applicants are required to define and measure at least two outcomes as specified in the notice, ensuring the proposed strategies produce measurable improvements. The initiative is designed to produce implementable models that can be integrated into routine clinical practice, with a strong emphasis on real-world applicability rather than theoretical approaches. The opportunity, titled Solutions for Linkage to Care Implementation Challenges for People with Opioid Use Disorder, was posted on July 2, 2026, with inquiries directed to Tamara N. Crawford, DBH, MPH, at ncipc_erpo@cdc.gov.

Full Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC, Injury Center) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to develop, implement, and rigorously evaluate strategies to address and overcome barriers to implementing evidence-based linkage to care services in health care settings. Strategies should focus on individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) or who meet criteria consistent with an OUD and are at risk of an opioid overdose with or without involvement of other substances.
Applicants are expected to have at least one partnership with a public health entity or bona fide agent to identify solutions to challenges in linkages to care. The proposed research should articulate how partnerships with public health entities were established or fostered. All applicants must also propose to collaborate with a local champion in a health care setting to improve linkage to care services and outcomes.
Outcomes can be captured by at least two required measures as defined in the NOFO.
Solutions are expected to be actionable approaches that can be adopted by clinicians and health systems in real-world settings and ensure availability of comprehensive overdose prevention services.
