Purpose

The Indiana Department of Health is accepting applications from local health departments (LHDs) in response to the grant opportunity for the distribution of opioid overdose reversal kits that include naloxone nasal spray. IDOH will be responsible for awarding the number of overdose reversal kits and is partnering with Overdose Lifeline to distribute the kits to LHDs. LHDs will be responsible for the distribution of kits in their communities. 

Naloxone hydrochloride is an opioid antagonist and a safe and effective medication used to quickly reverse the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose. The naloxone kits distributed in accordance with this grant will be administered intranasally by spraying a fine mist up the nostril of the affected person.

The goal of this grant is to expand the number of LHDs that participate in the distribution of opioid overdose reversal kits. LHDs are highly encouraged to collaborate with community organizations, including county jails, for this opportunity. Jails in the county will be able to receive naloxone kits through the LHD to give to incarcerated persons upon their release.

This effort will require providing education about naloxone kit programs and the law that provides immunity for lay responders to carry and administer the life-saving medication. Lay responders who agree to participate in a naloxone kit program must be trained by the awardee on how to administer naloxone (if not previously trained). 

Project Description

The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) is accepting grant applications to provide intranasal naloxone to first responders in rural counties. Only first responders who provide services in rural counties are eligible to receive the naloxone doses. For grant purposes, “first responders” includes (professional and volunteer) firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, or other legally organized and recognized volunteer organizations that respond to adverse opioid-related incidents. Please email the naloxone program manager if you think your agency might be considered a first responder agency and is not listed. First responder organizations that receive naloxone doses will be responsible for administering the doses and reporting their use to IDOH through the required methods.

Gupta Family Foundation is a private, nonprofit foundation headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, USA. Our mission is to support organizations that provide focused intervention in the lives of people who have been disadvantaged in some way to help them become self-reliant. We take a very broad view of “disadvantage” to include anything that holds a person back from realizing their potential, such as poverty, physical or mental disability, social alienation, etc. The foundation also supports relief agencies that serve people affected by emergencies such as natural disasters.

The foundation evaluates and awards annual and multi-year grants ranging from $5,000 to over $250,000 (USD). Our focus is on funding smaller organizations all around the world that are led by individuals with a deep personal commitment to their missions. 

Our selection criteria include:

• Mission alignment
• The organization is run by the founder or, if not, by a successor who embodies the original inspiration, passion and commitment of the founder.
• At least 90% of grant monies reaches the intended beneficiaries.
• The organization is non-sectarian, i.e.,
  • It does not, directly or indirectly, support or condone the proselytization of any religion,
  • It is not supported by or affiliated to a religious organization.
