Volunteer to review funding proposals
DHS is seeking reviewers for the Targeted Opioid Use and Misuse Prevention and Treatment Services RFP. Reviewers will have the opportunity to review and score funding proposals for this grant opportunity.
The RFP will fund four categories:
- School-based prevention
- Expansion and enhancement of access to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for American Indian population
- Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) with an American Indian-focused curriculum
- Physician consultation for statewide planning
Here is a brief synopsis of the tentative commitment and time line:
-Attend informative meeting regarding the proposal review process, tentatively scheduled April 4, 2023, 10:00 – 11:00 AM
-Review and score proposals between April 10th and April 21st.
-Until we know how many proposals we receive and how many reviewers we have we have no way of knowing how many proposals each reviewer will get. However, we do our best to give no more than five proposals to each reviewer to review and score (approximately 1 to 2 hours to review and score each)
-Proposal review panel meetings are tentatively scheduled for April 25th, 26th and 27th either 8:30am-12:30pm or 1:00pm-5:00pm (this may change based on number of proposals received, number of reviewers and reviewer availability).
Please send an email to BHD_Opioid@state.mn.us with your name, phone number, email address, and any known COI by close of business March 27 , 2023 if you are able to participate in the proposal review.
