Webinar: Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program FY 2018:
Funding Opportunity for Tribes<https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6991297851790142722>

Well, the FY 2018 COAP solicitation will be released slightly later than we at TLPI had planned. To ensure that you have access to the most recent COAP RFP, that we can highlight any potential changes between last year’s solicitation and this year’s, and to maximize our time, we’ll be delaying this webinar from April 23rd to May 2nd. This should most likely be immediately after the solicitation has been released. Join us!

The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) was signed into law on July 22, 2016. As part of CARA, the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program (COAP) solicitation offers states, local governments, and Indian tribes six funding categories to expand outreach, treatment, and recovery efforts to individuals impacted by the opioid epidemic. The FY 2017 solicitation included $13 million of funding. This year, Congress has appropriated $145 million! BJA is preparing to release the FY 2018 COAP in the next two weeks.

In only its second year, this solicitation offers immense new funding opportunities for tribes to design and enhance their own systems pursuant to community needs. This webinar will overview the FY 2018 solicitation and highlight the three categories for which tribes are eligible to apply.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Presenters:
Lauren van Schilfgaarde, Tribal Law Specialist, Tribal Law and Policy Institute
Timothy Jeffries, Senior Policy Advisor, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs.

This webinar is free.

You are highly encouraged to read the FY 2017 COAP Solicitation<https://www.bja.gov/funding/CARA17.pdf> for a sense of the possible projects for which your Tribe may wish to apply.

Indian tribal governments are eligible for:
Category 1: Overdose Outreach Projects
Category 3: System-level Diversion and Alternatives to Incarceration Projects
Category 6: Data-driven Responses to Prescription Drug Misuse

This is an incredible opportunity to access funding to combat the effects of the opioid epidemic in your community.

Here is last year’s solicitation:  https://www.bja.gov/funding/CARA17.pdf

Stay tuned for the release of the FY 2018 solicitation.
