Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 23 022
The Preventing Youth Overdose: Treatment, Recovery, Education, Awareness and Training grant (Funding Opportunity Number TI 23 022) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It sits under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.243. The overall aim is to reduce youth overdose risk, with a particular focus on the dangers posed by fentanyl, while also strengthening community and clinical responses to opioid use disorder (OUD) among adolescents and young adults.
At its core, the program is designed around three connected goals. First, it seeks to improve local awareness among youth about the risks associated with fentanyl, recognizing that fentanyl exposure can occur intentionally (through opioid use) or unintentionally (through counterfeit pills or adulterated substances). Second, it focuses on increasing access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for adolescents and young adults who are screened for and diagnosed with OUD. This emphasis on MOUD reflects an evidence-based approach to treatment that can reduce overdose risk and improve stability and recovery outcomes when appropriately prescribed and supported. Third, the opportunity prioritizes training and education for key adults and systems around young people, including healthcare providers, families, and school personnel, so they are better equipped to support youth with OUD and youth who are receiving MOUD. The training component is intended to promote best practices, reduce misinformation, and help communities respond in a coordinated and supportive way rather than relying on punitive or exclusionary approaches.
The funding mechanism is a grant, with an award ceiling of $450,000 per award, and the program anticipated making approximately four awards under this opportunity. While the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," applicants were instructed to consult the opportunity's additional eligibility information for clarification on which types of organizations could apply. The opportunity was created on April 28, 2023, and the original application closing date was June 27, 2023, indicating a time-limited competition for that funding cycle.
In practical terms, the grant supports community-level strategies that combine prevention and education (especially fentanyl risk awareness), clinical access improvements (so youth diagnosed with OUD can actually obtain MOUD in a timely and age-appropriate manner), and broad workforce and caregiver training (so providers, schools, and families understand how to recognize OUD, support treatment engagement, and assist youth who are maintained on MOUD). The intent is not just to increase knowledge, but to translate that knowledge into safer environments, more effective referral and treatment pathways, and stronger day-to-day support for adolescents and young adults who are at risk of overdose or already living with OUD.Apply for TI 23 022
