National Harm Reduction Technical Assistance and Syringe Services Program (SSP) Monitoring and Evaluation Funding Opportunity

This three year program will strengthen the capacity and improve the performance of harm reduction programs throughout the United States; and implement a monitoring and evaluation of syringe services programs. The purpose of this project is to strengthen harm reduction programs in order to prevent infectious disease resulting from injection drug use, and improve health outcomes for people who inject drugs, including strengthening linkage to medication-assisted treatment. It is comprised of two components: technical assistance, and monitoring and evaluation, and two one-year demonstration projects. Activities will include: providing technical assistance to SSPs, developing a national training network; and implementing a SSP monitoring and evaluation program.
