State Opioid Response (SOR)/Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) Technical Assistance | TI 24 012

Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 24 012

The State Opioid Response (SOR)/Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI 24 012) is a federal discretionary grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) designed to strengthen how opioid- and stimulant-related prevention, treatment, and recovery supports are delivered across the United States. The program is focused on expanding access to approaches that are trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and evidence-based, with the broad goal of reducing the harms that opioid and stimulant misuse and substance use disorders create for individuals, families, and communities. The emphasis on "across the lifespan" signals that the technical assistance supported under this award is intended to help systems and providers address needs from youth through older adults, rather than targeting only one age group.

This funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be meaningfully involved during the project period through collaboration, guidance, and ongoing coordination, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity area is Health, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 93.243. The program is essentially aimed at improving the quality, consistency, and real-world implementation of proven substance use-related interventions, while also ensuring services are delivered in ways that recognize trauma histories and are responsive to local cultures and community contexts, including Tribal communities.

Eligibility is broad and includes States and Territories (including the District of Columbia), political subdivisions of States, Indian tribes and tribal organizations (as defined in 25 U.S.C. 5304), and health facilities or programs operated by or in accordance with a contract or award with the Indian Health Service. It also allows other public or private non-profit entities to apply, which opens the door for universities, non-profit training and technical assistance providers, and other mission-driven organizations with relevant expertise to serve as the technical assistance provider under this program.

In terms of scale and competitiveness, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $18,500,000, indicating SAMHSA is looking to fund one national-level entity or consortium to deliver technical assistance broadly rather than distributing many smaller awards. The original application closing date was July 15, 2024, and the opportunity was created on May 15, 2024, which suggests a relatively tight application window typical of large federal technical assistance competitions. Overall, this opportunity supports nationwide capacity-building work that helps jurisdictions and Tribal entities strengthen evidence-based responses to opioid and stimulant use, improve service delivery through trauma-informed and culturally grounded practices, and reduce the downstream impacts of substance use disorders on communities.
