Grant Application Resources

Priority Strategies for 2025 Opioid Abatement Grant Applications

Priority strategies for 2025 grant applications were identified through a review of best practices for opioid abatement informed by the National Association of Counties (NACo), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Evidence-Based Practices Resource Center, and other registries of evidence-based practices and research-based opioid abatement guidance. The selected priorities conform with Exhibit E and Oklahoma’s approved purposes. The prioritized practices were informed by Oklahoma opioid abatement board member recommendations, which included focusing on strategies 1) in observed need of adoption/scaling in Oklahoma; 2) reasonably expected to be implemented effectively by grantees and produce outcomes during the project period; and 3) representing both preventive and treatment options.

Other Evidence-Based Strategies

Applicants may choose Other strategies with required justification as determined by the Opioid Abatement Board.
