What this bill does
The Addiction Grants Modernization Act, introduced in the Senate, proposes to create a unified online portal for federal grant programs related to substance use disorders. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would be authorized to identify specific grant programs from the departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy to be included. This would exclude block grants or formula-funded grants.
The new system would involve a website listing eligible grant programs, announcing funding opportunities, and allowing for the submission of centralized applications. Applicants could browse grants by organization type and by activity, such as prevention, overdose reversal, treatment, and recovery. The goal is to streamline the application process by requiring the same basic information for all included grants, while allowing for program-specific questions.
This bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. If passed, it would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a working group to advise on the development of the centralized application and a secure website interface. The act does not grant authority to change or eliminate existing grant programs or their funding.
