What the grant funds
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, BJA seeks to continue developing a network of drug data research centers to combat the overdose crisis, building on the first award made in 2022. BJA anticipates making up to two awards to two accredited institutions of higher learning to support expanding an existing statewide drug data repository into a regional drug data research center ("regional data center") that will promote the collection, analysis, research, and dissemination of information to help combat the surge in fatal and nonfatal overdoses from opioids, stimulants, and other substances. Institutions awarded under this solicitation and their respective data research centers will work with the FY 2022 Drug Data Research Centers to Combat the Overdose Crisis (DDRC)-funded center at the University of Alabama and will serve as both a model and technical advisors to translate this model to other regions in the United States.
