Summary: Supports state, tribal, and territorial efforts to enhance Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) for reducing the diversion and abuse of controlled substances.
This funding opportunity aims to enhance the capacity of regulatory, law enforcement, and public health agencies to collect, analyze, and report controlled substance prescription data through centralized Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs). The program is designed to help state, tribal, and territorial governments detect and prevent the diversion and misuse of prescription drugs, particularly opioids and other controlled substances. It encourages integration of PDMP data with health information exchanges, electronic health records, and pharmacy dispensing systems, with an emphasis on engaging tribal entities and rural areas. The overarching goal is to reduce drug addiction and associated violence by improving data-driven prevention and enforcement strategies.
