Addiction Grants Modernization Act

Sponsored By: Senator Hassan, Margaret Wood [D-NH]

Introduced

Summary

Centralizes discretionary substance use disorder grant applications across HHS, ONDCP, and DOJ. The bill would create a public website where covered SUD grant opportunities are listed and a single application lets organizations apply to multiple programs, backed by a multi-agency working group to coordinate the process.

Show full summary
  • Applicants and community providers would be able to submit one centralized application to any covered grant programs they qualify for and browse opportunities by organization type and by four activity categories: prevention, overdose reversal, treatment, and recovery.
  • State agencies, providers, and recovery organizations could join a working group that the bill would require within 180 days. That group would include career federal staff (for example SAMHSA, HRSA, CDC, and the Bureau of Justice Assistance), non-federal stakeholders, and would make recommendations, review applications, and report to Congress on needed Federal resources.
  • The Secretary would have to publish a list of covered grant programs on the interface by Dec. 31, 2028, and, where practical, synchronize funding announcements. The bill would not authorize changing grant funding levels or allowable activities set by Congress.

One online portal for addiction grants

This bill would set up one secure public website that lists covered discretionary addiction (substance use disorder) grants and posts their funding opportunities. It would create a single application so an entity could apply to any or all covered grant programs it is eligible for; the application would ask the same basic questions for every program but allow supplemental program questions. The HHS Secretary, working with the ONDCP Director and the Attorney General, would review discretionary SUD grants to decide which programs are "covered" and must publish that list on the portal by December 31, 2028 and update it when new opportunities are announced. Not later than 180 days after enactment the Secretary would form a working group of career agency staff and non‑Federal stakeholders to make recommendations, review centralized applications, and report to Congress. The bill would bar including block or formula grants under part B of title XIX of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x et seq.) in the centralized application and would not let agencies change, cut, or move funding or alter Congress‑authorized allowable grant activities.
