Those outcomes and measurements must be published within 30 days after they are chosen. Grantees and subaward recipients must collect and report those measurement data to the Department of Justice every year. The Attorney General must also do an interim study of opioid abuse and illegal opioid distribution within 3 years after July 22, 2016, and a final evaluation of the program’s effectiveness within 5 years after July 22, 2016, using the reported data. The results of each evaluation must be published and sent to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees within 90 days after the evaluation is finished, and the data used must be published too. To do the work on outcomes, measurements, and evaluations, the Attorney General must either work with the National Academy of Sciences or hire a qualified nonfederal research organization.
