The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2021 Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs (Short Title: SPF Rx) grant program. The SPF Rx grant program provides an opportunity for states, U.S. territories, (herein referred to as “states”), and Tribal entities that have completed a Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership For Success (SPF PFS) to target the priority issue of prescription drug misuse or another state-level strategic planning process around prescription drug misuse prevention. The program is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of sharing medications and work with pharmaceutical and medical communities on the risks of overprescribing to young adults. The SPF Rx program will also raise community awareness and bring prescription drug abuse prevention activities and education to schools, communities, parents, prescribers, and their patients. In addition, SAMHSA will track reductions in opioid overdoses and the incorporation of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data into needs assessments and strategic plans as indicators of the program’s success.
