💡 Tips for applicants
- Read the full Notice of Funding Opportunity carefully. It contains critical details on allowable activities and eligibility that this summary does not cover.
- Demonstrate how your organization will mobilize existing community resources rather than create services from scratch. Reviewers value efficiency and collaboration.
- Show concrete connections to people with substance use disorders. Include data on population needs and your organization's track record serving this community.
- Address cost-sharing early and realistically. Identify in-kind or cash contributions and explain how they strengthen the project.
- Include letters of support from community partners, treatment providers, and peer recovery organizations. Strong partnerships increase competitiveness.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Vague descriptions of how you'll mobilize resources without naming specific community partners or showing existing relationships. Ignoring cost-sharing requirements or providing unrealistic match contributions. Proposing new service delivery instead of focusing on coordination and access.
