Sec. 84.307. - Funding Allocations by OSUD Grants Committee; Grant Award Limitations.

(a) Limitations on Grant Awards . Individual grants within each Opioid Settlement Proceeds funded category shall be based on the high score model for funding purposes. The high score model shall award 100 percent of requested funding for the highest-ranked score up to the maximum amount of $500,000. The next highest-ranked score shall be awarded 100 percent of the requested funding up to $500,000 and so on until the funds are exhausted. Requesting agencies may submit multiple applications in each Opioid Settlement Proceeds funded category but shall be eligible to receive only one Opioid Settlement Proceeds Grant per funded category. When a requesting agency submits more than one grant application in a funded category, the application receiving the highest average score will be eligible to receive a grant award in accordance with the high score model described herein so long as the application meets the eligibility, application, minimum score and all other applicable requirements for award of an Opioid Settlement Proceeds Grant pursuant to this Part.
