NACCHO, with support from the CDC, is accepting applications to participate in our Health Equity and Overdose Prevention Mentorship Program. This will be the second iteration of our mentorship program and will include opportunities for local health departments (LHDs) to learn from peers, share experiences and exchange strategies for integrating health equity into drug overdose prevention and response work.

There are separate mentee and mentor applications; requirements and full details of the project are available in the respective RFAs as well as their linked deliverable schedules. NACCHO hosted an informational webinar on July 27, 2022, to review this funding opportunity, the recording can be reviewed here, along with the FAQs here. If you have any questions, please email IVP@naccho.org.

Applications must be submitted to NACCHO’s Overdose Prevention Team at IVP@naccho.org by Friday, August 19, 2022, at 8:00 pm E.T. LHDs that would like our feedback in advance for a stronger application can submit it by Friday, August 12, 2022, at 8:00 pm E.T. Submissions after the final deadline, August 19, 2022, will not be considered.
