YEAR 2 RENEWAL FORM

Substance Use Prevention and Response Interventions
Contract Renewal Amendment Form

Y2: April 1, 2026 - March 31, 2027
Contractor Name: Arizona Board of Regents, University of Arizona
Contract Number: PH RFP 250031

Focus Areas (For Reference Only)

The focus areas below are provided for reference to help you complete Section 1: Focus
Area and Activity Overview. Ensure the focus area(s) you select in Section 1 match
those specified in your original contract. If you are unsure which focus area applies,
consult your contract documentation or contact your contract manager. The focus
areas are:

« Focus Area 1: Prevention and Education
Includes programs that provide clear, culturally sensitive information to help prevent
substance misuse. These programs should help people understand the risks of drug
misuse, reduce stigma, and empower communities with the knowledge and tools needed
to make healthier choices. The key action areas for prevention and education efforts
include youth and family empowerment, provider training, and community awareness.
Proposals should show an understanding of the focus population's cultural needs.

« Focus Area 2: Early Intervention and Treatment
Focusing on easy-to-access, evidence-based services for early intervention and
treatment. These services should meet peaple where they are and address their specific
needs at different stages of substance misuse. The County is focused on reducing
barriers to care, such as transportation, cost, and language. Programs that use trauma-
informed care and integrate behavioral health services will be prioritized.

« Focus Area 3: Harm Reduction and Rescue
Includes programs that focus on harm reduction and rescue efforts to reduce the
immediate dangers of substance misuse. These programs should use proven strategies
to reduce deaths and other harms caused by substance misuse through increased
awareness and access to effective interventions. Programs may prioritize provider
training & capacity building and provide life-saving services like naloxone distribution
and overdose prevention education. The intent is to reach the most vulnerable people,
including those who are unsheltered or live in areas with limited healthcare access.

« Focus Area 4: Recovery and Resiliency
Programs should increase access to relapse prevention and recovery support for
sustainable positive lifestyle changes. The programs should help people not just with
their health but also with social support and employment. The intent is to ensure that
everyone, no matter their background, can recover and thrive.

Activity Name; Overdose Awareness and Stigma Reduction for Public Service Workers,
Community members, and Future Providers

Focus Area: Harm Reduction and Rescue “Icheck box to confirm focus rea matches the original contract.

Description: Training and education for UA, Mayo, Creighton, and other neighboring
institutions’ medical students, SMP/MHU staff and volunteers, community members, public
service workers. These training will be culturally and linguistically appropriate to ensure full
comprehension and compliance of the harm reduction practices shared with individuals who
Participate. We plan to utilize individuals with lived experience such as peer support or harm
reduction specialists and community health workers (CHWs). We will track the number of
training sessions and participants. We will continue the implementation of trainings from
year 1 and make modifications as needed. SMP/MHU staff and volunteers will participate in
quarterly trainings and we will host community workshops with educational resources
during one of their interactions with SMP staff. :

C-86-25-049-X-00 / PH RFP 250031 AMENDMENT 2

Potential Roadblocks & Solutions

Potential Roadblock (1): There is a potential roadblock when working with public sector
workers because of the stigma or misconceptions of people experiencing homelessness or
high-tisk populations.

-Solution (1): We will work with each institution to formalize these trainings and perhaps
fulfill some of their required professional development hours.

-Solution (1): We will create safe spaces for people to ask questions even when they might
not know the appropriate terminology when working with vulnerable populations.

Potential Roadblock (2): Without incentives, medical students’ willingness to engage in the
trainings and take a pre/post-test might be low within the population served_

-Solution (2): We will work with each institution to schedule harm reduction trainings as a
requirement for their programs. If not possible, we will schedule trainings on dates that the
students have required seminars.

Potential Roadblock (3): The pre/post-test might not capture all the information we need.
-Solution (3): It can be difficult to survey peaple experiencing homelessness but will
schedule interviews or listening sessions to allow us to provide food as an incentive (food ta
be purchased with another source not Maricopa County OSF).

Potential Roadblock (4): Some.community members may not be interested in participating
in trainings as it may not apply to their situation or are simply not interested due to
conflicting priorities (food boxes, health screenings, etc.).

-Solution (4): We will be aware of the circumstances of each individual and tailor education
to the audience, time, and place.

-Solution (4): We will work with hast sites to offer food or other incentives to increase
participation, or we will opt for virtual trainings.

Activity Name: Project RESPOND

Focus Area: Harm Reduction and Rescue check box to confirm focus area matches the original contract.

Description: Data-focused streamlining of existing naloxone kit distribution and
enhancement of educational materials provided alongside harm reduction kits. Expand
provision of harm reduction. Distribute surveys to assess quality of improved educational
materials surrounding overdose prevention. Referrals to mental health services and
counseling, in addition to substance use treatment services. Group educational sessions and
individual education that focus on harm reduction practices and holistic mental health
services to help reduce stigma associated with substance use and abuse. Using evidence-
based practices and interventions that reduce death or harm due to substance use like HIV
testing and education.

Potential Roadblocks & Solutions

Potential Roadblock (1): We likely will continue to encounter internal roadblocks with risk
management to approve SSP.

-Solution (1): We will work with community partners to fill this need by distributing needles
and syringes and other harm reduction kits.

Potential Roadblock (2): For data collection and reporting, tracking unique participant
encounters and unique individuals serves to gain insight into how many ‘new’ individuals we
encounter monthly/annually.

-Solution (2): It can be difficult to collect information from people experiencing
homelessness, but can try other collection methods like listening sessions or informal
interviews.

Potential Roadblock (3): To ensure we are not duplicating efforts, it will be important ta
coordinate with other organizations/programs that are regularly serving our focus
population and encourage collaboration and partnership.

-Solution (3): We will continue building relationships with other Maricopa OSF grantees and
strategies how we can each meaningful contribute without duplicating services.

2. Project Timeline

For each Focus Area, list all steps or tasks for its activities and mark an “X" in the month
when you anticipate completing each task. Reference the original project timeline and
adjust the Timeline — Year 2 template as needed for the upcoming contract period.

Timeline - Year 2 (use template provided): | Completed

3. Budget Summary
Prepare the budget for the upcoming year to match the original awarded amount. No

increases to the award or carryover of Year 1 funds are permitted.
Verify and Enter Original Awarded Amount: $500,000
Budget Detail & Narrative - Year 2 (use template provided): “| Completed

If yes, describe proposed budget adjustments by providing a high-level narrative
summarizing anticipated budget and/or category changes for the renewal grant period.
All adjustments must remain within the original focus area(s). Keep the response clear
and concise, with a maximum of 500 words.

(Most of the budget stays the same, we did slightly decrease personnel and ERE. We slightly
increased travel to allow us to expand to farther sites like Gila Bend and Aguila as well as to
disseminate results of this program at conferences like American Public Health Association.
Supplies and materials stay very similar to Year 1. We kept the same amount for publication
in a scientific journal. A more significant change is the line for consultant to provide our
partnering agencies, as well as, partnering academic institutions with some funding to help
us increase distribution of harm reduction supplies and education to a large net of
individuals throughout the valley.

4. Successes and Lessons Learned

Highlight 1-2 successes or lessons from the current contract period that inform your
proposed continuation. Keep the response clear and concise, with a maximum of 500
words.

A success in year 1 was the team’s ability to provide trainings to over 200 medical students
from different institutions in 9 months (proposed goal 200). Equally as important, the
student's willingness to participate in additional trainings and witnessing an increase in the
education of opioid use prevention during SMP and MHU events. We were also able to hire a
Harm Reduction Coordinator that has experience working in this area that helped improve
our training materials as well as a Peer Support Specialist who is quickly connects with the
community and doesn't shy from direct street outreach. Another success has been the
number of volunteers creating safe sex kits to keep up with the demand. We've held
multiple “packing parties” and volunteers overcome our expectations each time. Lastly, we
are grateful for new partnerships! We have met motivated, well-meaning individuals,
organizations, committees, and county and city officials that are excited about
collaboration. During some of these conversations, we leamed that public sector workers
and some clinical settings need overdose awareness and stigma reduction trainings to
improve the ability for all of us to continue providing harm reduction services in Maricopa.

Page 15 of 16

C-86-25-049-X-00 / PH RFP 250031 AMENDMENT 2

Thus, in Year 2 we added focused trainings to address any misunderstandings/
misconceptions to improve attitudes towards hanm reduction services. Another lesson
learned was the difficulty of successful referrals to mental and behavioral health services
and substance use treatment among the unhoused community. In our original proposal, we
had based our metrics to our SMP experience with linkage to routine care, HIV
treatment/prevention, women’s health, wound care, and other acute services. However, we
learned that people need more time to accept needing and wanting linkage to M/B services
and substance use treatment. Thus, we also lowered the number of referrals in year 2 to
allow us to gain a better understanding of what we can do to increase acceptance among
our focus population.
