Rapid Referral Platform for Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD): Telehealth Provider
The New Jersey Department of Health Office of Opioid Response and Policy (OORP) is issuing this solicitation to provide funding to one telehealth provider for emergency assessment and initiation of MOUD to patients via telemedicine. This effort is part of the State’s comprehensive strategy to address and reverse the overdose crisis, reduce substance use related risks, and provide improved, equitable access to high quality substance use disorder care statewide. Medications such as buprenorphine and methadone are FDA-approved, evidence-based, lifesaving treatments for those with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Yet, only a small fraction of those with OUD in our State have adequate access to this treatment. The State seeks to spread and scale the uptake of this lifesaving treatment via strategic investments in low barrier MOUD care. Deadline to Apply: August 4, 2025

Harm Reduction Expansion
Considering the legislative change that occurred in January 2022, the Division of HIV, STD and TB Services (DHSTS), HIV Services Unit is issuing this solicitation to fund grants to support harm reduction services throughout the state with qualified organizations. New Jersey currently has approximately twenty entities authorized to provide harm reduction services, comprised of 44 individual Harm Reduction Centers (HRCs). The state looks to increase the availability of harm reduction services throughout New Jersey, with the purpose of mitigating the harms related to drug use. HRCs are proven to decrease the spread of HIV, hepatitis C, and other bloodborne pathogens, prevent overdoses and overdose deaths and provide a bridge to substance use disorder treatment, healthcare services, and social support services for people who use drugs. Harm Reduction is a known, evidence-based, best practice to improve the health of people who use drugs and communities. The goal of this Request for Applications is to fund harm reduction and drug user health programs in areas of high unmet need. The long-term goal for New Jersey is to support at least one HRC in every county.
