What this research studies
This program aims to quickly generate new information and put it into practice to address the ongoing overdose crisis. It provides small grants to support projects that look at how new policies and practices affect people, test promising new ways to prevent overdoses, and analyze existing data. The goal is to find effective solutions that can be used quickly to save lives and improve health.
Who could benefit from this research
