Community-Based Overdose Prevention Grants

Ab​​out​

Through our grant programs, the ​Maryland Department of Health Behavioral Health Administration Office of Overdose Prevention & Education (OPE)​ (formerly ​Center for H​arm Reduction Services ​or Office of Harm Reduction)​ supports the local implementation of harm reduc​tion programs and ensures statewide access to resources for harm reduction activities, including naloxone. ​Ap​​plications for new funding are closed at this time. These grants support OPE's goals of reducing substance-related morbidity and mortality by optimizing services for people who use drugs. ACCESS stands for "Advancing Cross-Cutting Engagement and Service Strategies for People Who Use Drugs." ​​​Please contact [email protected]​ with any questions.​​
