Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005706

The Professional Development Network for Substance Use Disorder Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Service Providers and Workforce (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005706) is a U.S. Department of State initiative run through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee is expected to work closely with INL rather than simply receiving a grant with minimal federal involvement. The overall goal is to strengthen drug demand reduction efforts worldwide by building and sustaining a professional network for the people and institutions involved in substance use disorder (SUD) prevention, treatment, and recovery.

At the center of the project is the creation or expansion of an international membership organization that connects the global SUD workforce. INL is looking for a structure that can support professionalization and workforce development, not just a one-time training effort. The organization is expected to provide online support and practical materials that help members connect with one another, share knowledge, and improve practice. This includes facilitating networking among service providers, policymakers, academic experts, and other relevant stakeholders who influence prevention and treatment systems.

A major emphasis of the opportunity is the promotion and dissemination of evidence-based practices. The funded organization is expected to partner and collaborate with existing organizations in the SUD and public health space, using those relationships to amplify what works and to push consistent, research-supported standards across different countries and settings. The intent is to make it easier for practitioners and decision-makers to access reliable approaches to prevention, treatment, and recovery support, and to encourage adoption of methods that have demonstrated effectiveness rather than ad hoc or untested interventions.

In addition to online networking and collaboration, the project includes convening periodic global events. These events are meant to create regular opportunities for the international prevention and treatment workforce to receive training, meet peers and experts, and engage directly with other stakeholders who shape policy and funding. In practice, this could involve conferences, regional or global convenings, and other structured gatherings designed to build skills, strengthen professional identity, and improve coordination across borders.

Another core responsibility is maintaining a database tied to INL Demand Reduction programming. The awardee must keep an up-to-date inventory of education providers and training activities that use materials developed through INL Demand Reduction programs. This requirement also covers training offered by other organizations that have received INL Demand Reduction funding, so the database functions as a centralized way to track who is delivering training, what is being delivered, and where INL-supported materials are being used. This supports oversight, helps reduce duplication, and makes it easier to identify gaps and opportunities for future training.

Administratively, the opportunity was published on April 8, 2019, with an original closing date of June 10, 2019. INL anticipated making one award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $1,200,000. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.704, and the eligible applicant category is noted broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. Overall, the project is designed to leave behind durable infrastructure: an active international professional community, accessible tools and training supports, stronger connections among stakeholders, and a maintained knowledge base that helps track and expand evidence-based workforce development in SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery worldwide.
