The Open Society Institute invites proposals for its Closing the Addiction Treatment Gap initiative. The $10-million initiative is designed to increase the availability of resources for the delivery of high-quality treatment for drug and alcohol addiction for all who need it.

Grant applicants must identify a common governmental jurisdiction within which they will affect change. Partnerships at the state, county, or city level are welcome to apply. A minimum of six grants will be awarded in this call for proposals. Completed proposals are due to OSI no later than April 11, 2008.

Closing the Addiction Treatment Gap’s theory of change relies on combining two key strategies:

  • building awareness of the treatment gap among stakeholders, and
  • implementing effective strategies for increasing insurance coverage, increasing government appropriations, and/or improving the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment available.

Those interested in pursuing a grant must first complete a self-analysis of their jurisdiction’s readiness and capacity to increase resources to close the treatment gap using the Closing the Addiction Treatment Gap Self Assessment Tool contained within the RFP available on this website.

For more information, please see the complete proposal guidelines.
