Required next actionConfirm the applying emergency department is in Kent or New Castle County and can implement SBIRT+ as an embedded ED workflow. Select a validated screening instrument; map brief intervention, MOUD initiation/referral, warm handoff, Delaware Treatment and Referral Network use, follow-up and naloxone distribution workflows; document IT/EHR readiness and monthly data reporting; build the implementation plan and budget within the $100,000 ceiling; and submit the complete application by October 21, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.
Broad Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to healthcare-system emergency departments, including freestanding ED locations. A healthcare system may apply for one location, and two systems may submit a joint project if one lead entity holds the state agreement and assumes funding, compliance and reporting responsibility. DSAMH is seeking one project in Kent County and one in New Castle County.
Atlas Analysis
A highly targeted Delaware hospital behavioral-health opportunity with strong fit for systems that can operationalize substance-use screening and closed-loop referral inside emergency care. The required workflow includes IT/EHR readiness, possible EHR adaptations, navigation, warm handoffs, MOUD access and follow-up, and the solicitation permits telehealth where needed for follow-up. N9+ is not a required or primary component, so Atlas does not classify this as a high-fit direct-vendor capture. Federal SOR funding remains contingent on appropriation.
From Funding to Implementation · Remote Monitoring Solution
Connect grant funding to a broader remote-care strategy.
Dr. Miltie combines connected monitoring and virtual examination capabilities so funded programs can support longitudinal care while giving clinicians more context when a remote encounter requires assessment beyond a video visit.
