Overdose Data to Action in States

Background
The Overdose Data to Action in States (OD2A‐S) funding opportunity is open to all state health departments (SHDs), including the District of Columbia, or their bona fide agents. The goal of this funding is to enhance the ability of SHDs to track and prevent nonfatal and fatal overdoses while also identifying emerging drug threats. The funding opportunity emphasizes surveillance strategies and evidence‐based and evidence-informed interventions that have an immediate impact on reducing overdose morbidity and mortality, with a focus on opioids, stimulants, and polysubstance use (if addressed in combination with opioids and stimulants).

OD2A‐S is underpinned by a data to action framework that reinforces the use of surveillance and other data to inform and drive prevention efforts and policies, with an emphasis on addressing health equity and health disparities. This funding opportunity builds off work and gains from previous overdose surveillance and prevention investments supporting SHDs.
