Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The "Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States" grant opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It appears as a continuation opportunity, meaning it is intended to continue support for an existing CDC-supported program rather than launch a brand-new competitive cycle. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds, such as providing ongoing technical assistance, performance monitoring, and collaboration on implementation and evaluation. The activity focus is public health, listed under the Health funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.136 (a CDC public health assistance program identifier).

The purpose, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support state-level efforts to prevent prescription drug overdose. In practical terms, programs under this type of announcement usually center on strengthening state capacity to reduce overdose deaths and misuse tied to prescription opioids and other controlled medications. While the source text provided does not list specific required activities, CDC state overdose prevention cooperative agreements commonly emphasize improving data collection and surveillance (so states can identify high-risk prescribing patterns and hotspots), supporting effective use of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs), promoting safer prescribing practices through guidelines and health system interventions, and expanding coordination across public health, healthcare, behavioral health, and other partners. The overall intent is to help states implement evidence-based strategies that reduce inappropriate prescribing, identify people at risk earlier, and prevent overdoses.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified as CDC RFA CE15-150102CONT16. The original and current application closing date is April 1, 2016, and it was created and posted on February 20, 2016. The listing shows an expected 50 awards, which strongly suggests the program is designed for broad state participation, often aligning with the number of U.S. states and potentially including certain jurisdictions. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually means a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the summarized data and would normally be detailed in the full announcement or tied to a formula, continuation funding levels, or negotiated workplans.

Eligibility is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which implies that eligibility is restricted and defined more precisely in the full notice. In many CDC state-focused cooperative agreements, eligible applicants are typically state health departments or their bona fide agents, and sometimes certain territories or local jurisdictions are included depending on the program structure. Because the abbreviated data here references an external eligibility clarification field, the exact eligible applicant types cannot be confirmed from the excerpt alone, but the program is clearly framed around supporting state-led overdose prevention infrastructure and interventions.

In short, this opportunity is a CDC continuation cooperative agreement intended to keep state overdose prevention work moving forward, with CDC collaboration built into implementation. It targets prescription drug overdose prevention at the state level, anticipates around 50 funded recipients, and was due April 1, 2016, under CFDA 93.136.
