OTPs provide hepatitis C counseling, testing, treatment, and hepatitis A and B vaccinations, retain clients for extended periods of time, and have licensed medical facilities with medical staff. Only certified OTPs may apply because only they are qualified to provide opioid treatment under 42 CFR part 8. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for profit agencies.

Opportunity Summary:
The Rapid Hepatitis C Virus Screening and Referral grant (Funding Opportunity Number TI 13 009) was a discretionary, health-focused federal grant program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It was designed to respond to the especially high rate of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among people who inject drugs, with a specific emphasis on serving clients in opioid treatment programs (OTPs). The core idea behind the opportunity was that OTPs are one of the most practical places to find, test, and connect high-risk individuals to care because these programs already provide ongoing services to people with long histories of injection drug use and related health risks.
The main program purpose was twofold. First, grantees were expected to deliver rapid HCV screening within participating OTP settings, making it easier to identify infections quickly and reduce missed opportunities for diagnosis. Second, applicants had to build a concrete referral strategy for people who test HCV positive and for people considered at high risk of infection. The referral plan was not meant to be narrow or purely medical; it needed to reflect the reality that HCV risk and treatment outcomes are often tied to broader health and social needs. As described, referral pathways were expected to include primary health care, public health services, mental health services, and other medical services, recognizing that many OTP clients have co-occurring disorders and may require coordinated support to successfully engage in evaluation and treatment.
Eligibility was tightly limited. SAMHSA restricted applicants to SAMHSA-certified nonprofit opioid treatment programs because these programs are uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive prevention and control services for hepatitis and related conditions. The announcement highlighted that most OTP clients have a history of injecting drugs, which also elevates risk for HIV/AIDS and other viral hepatitis infections. It also pointed out that OTPs typically retain clients for extended periods, have licensed medical facilities and medical staff, and already deliver related services such as counseling, testing, treatment support, and hepatitis A and B vaccination. Only certified OTPs could apply because certification is required to provide opioid treatment under 42 CFR Part 8, and the authorizing statute for the program did not allow awards to for-profit organizations.
In terms of funding, SAMHSA anticipated making about 25 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,000,000. The award ceiling was $40,000 per grant, there was no stated award floor, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes participation more feasible for smaller nonprofits. The funding instrument was a grant, and the program fell under CFDA 93.243, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2013 opportunity. It was posted and created on February 14, 2013, with an original and final closing date of April 5, 2013, and it was archived on May 5, 2013.
