Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 26 012
The Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) grant (Funding Opportunity Number TI 26 012; CFDA 93.788) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Its central goal is to help Tribal communities respond to the overdose crisis by expanding access to evidence-based care and strengthening the full continuum of services that prevent, treat, and support recovery from substance use disorders. In practical terms, the program emphasizes increasing availability and use of FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) as a core strategy for reducing opioid-related harm and deaths, while also ensuring that people can access supportive services before, during, and after treatment.
The opportunity is designed to support comprehensive approaches to opioid use disorder (OUD) and closely related behavioral health needs. Beyond opioid-specific treatment, TOR explicitly includes support for services addressing co-occurring substance use disorders and stimulant misuse and use disorders, including those involving cocaine and methamphetamine. This means applicants can build or expand integrated programming that recognizes how opioids, stimulants, and other substances may intersect in real-world patterns of use, and can pair medication treatment with prevention efforts and recovery supports that help individuals and families stabilize over time.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native Tribes and Tribal organizations, as defined in 25 USC 5304. Eligible applicants may apply as a single Tribe or Tribal organization, as part of a consortium, or in partnership with an Urban Indian Organization. This structure allows communities to apply in the way that best matches local service delivery realities, including regional collaborations that share staffing, clinical capacity, data infrastructure, or culturally specific recovery supports across multiple communities.
The grant uses a standard grant funding instrument and falls under the Health activity category. SAMHSA expects to make 19 awards, with an award ceiling of $1,750,000 per award. The application closing date listed is July 16, 2026 (original closing date). Overall, TOR funding is meant to help Tribal communities expand proven clinical treatment options like MOUD while also reinforcing prevention, treatment engagement, and recovery support systems that are responsive to local needs and capable of addressing polysubstance use, including the rising harms associated with stimulant use.Apply for TI 26 012
