TOR Resource Page

Tribal Opioid Response Resources

This is a resource page of training and technical assistance opportunities for groups that have already been awarded grants through the Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) Program. It contains resources that you will find helpful in planning and implementing your tribe's opioid response while also satisfying all SAMHSA grant requirements. We recommend reviewing each of the materials available here closely.
 

For an overview of the goals and objectives of the TOR program and its requirements, please view our orientation PowerPoint, "Grantee TA Orientation Meeting." A recording of this orientation meeting is also available here.
 

For basic information about your grant, you can refer to the static Excel document "FY 18 TOR GPO Grant Assignments."

For those of you who have started searching for a Project Director and need assistance developing a position description and interview guide, we have provided templates for you below.
 

If you have questions that are not related to training or technical assistance, please contact your Government Program Officer (GPO).
 

If you do have questions about training or technical assistance, please send an email to jeff-ledolter@uiowa.edu.
