Navigating grant funding and procurement pathways
Federal grant allowability, state procurement rules, and reimbursement codes are the biggest barriers to getting test strips deployed. We remove those barriers with dedicated procurement support for health departments, pharmacies, and retail partners.

The funding landscape is shifting
Federal funding for overdose prevention has been significantly reduced. Programs that relied on a single grant source are at risk. We help organizations diversify funding and protect existing budgets.
Federal grant reductions
Multiple federal addiction and overdose prevention grant programs have seen significant budget cuts or revocations since 2025.
Language sensitivity
Some grant programs are scrutinizing specific terminology in applications and progress reports. Framing matters more than ever.
State-level variation
State funding through opioid settlement funds and dedicated state appropriations is filling some gaps, but coverage is uneven.
Diversified funding strategy
We help programs identify and apply to multiple funding streams — federal, state, settlement, and private — so no single cut eliminates your program.
Grant-resilient language
We provide tested budget narrative templates and justification language aligned with current grant program expectations.
