Expanding syringe services programs capacity to respond to COVID-19
In 2021, as part of the COVID-19 response under the American Rescue Plan Act and in partnership with collaborative Centers within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, resources to support SSPs and expand their overall capacity to provide COVID-19 vaccination, education, testing and expanded services for additional adult vaccination were awarded to NASTAD and partner, AIDS United.
This one-year demonstration project, with expanded authority to extend its impact beyond the first year, aims to strengthen the capacity of SSPs to serve as critically essential access points for COVID-19 vaccination services, general COVID-19 response interventions and broadened adult vaccination services for people who use drugs.
Purpose
This project will support the development and implementation of best practices for COVID-19 and other adult vaccination, either onsite or by increasing navigation to community-based vaccination. These strategies and activities will assist SSPs to implement comprehensive, sustainable COVID-19 vaccination and other vaccination services within SSPs, improve services provided and enhance national understanding of how to successfully reach PWUDs and offer diversified health services.
We are pleased to invite you to apply for a one-year grant from the Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services Through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation’s Health: Supplemental Funding for Expanding SSP Capacity to Respond to COVID-19 funding opportunity. Completed RFPs are due Nov. 29 at 5 p.m. EST.
