The Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council is soliciting grant applications for Community-Based Opioid Recovery Effort (CORE) Grants to support evidence-based opioid recovery efforts in Texas communities. The grants will be awarded on a competitive basis, with a maximum available funding of $25,000,000. Eligible applicants include entities that engage in business in Texas and have a physical address within the geographic boundary of a Regional Healthcare Partnership (RHP) region or provide services within the region. The grant period is expected to be one year, and applicants must propose short-term projects that implement an approved opioid abatement strategy. The application submission requirements include providing detailed information about the applicant's qualifications, experience, and past performance, as well as a proposed project work plan, budget, and budget narrative. Some key points to consider for this opportunity include: • The grants will support community-based opioid recovery efforts, including tracking and reporting completion of work and objectives of the program. • Applicants must identify any known subgrantees and subcontractors that they intend to utilize for any portion of the work in their application. • The grant recipient will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and activities supported by the grant agreement and will be accountable to the OAFC for the performance of all requirements of the grant agreement. • The application evaluation criteria include the applicant's qualifications, experience, and past performance, as well as the proposed project's alignment with the approved opioid abatement strategy and its potential impact on the community.
