COVID-19 Round-Table & TA Communications

We hope everyone is staying as healthy and happy as possible!

Below are updates regarding the recent COVID-19 Round-Table and TA communications:

COVID-19 Round-Table

OMNI recently held two Round-Tables (3/31 & 4/1) focused on COVID-19 and remote service provision. Please click here to view a document summarizing key-points and takeaways from the two Round-Tables.

Additionally, we have created a COVID-19 Resources page on this SOR Website. The page will be continually updated with resources and trainings. If you encounter any resources, trainings, websites, etc. that you think would be helpful to share with other CSBs and FQHCs, please send them to SORSupport@omni.org for dissemination.

TA Communications

In an effort to reduce unnecessary stress during this time, the TA team will be reducing communications. Temporarily, the TA Team will be suspending all non-essential communications, but will continue to respond to any TA requests/inquiries initiated by agencies. Your agency Dropbox folders will continue to be updated every Friday with follow-up tracking sheets, but we will not send emails regarding follow-up tracking reminders for the time being. If you would like  to continue to receive follow-up tracking communication, please email SORSupport@omni.org to request this.

Please do not hesitate to continue reaching out to the TA Team at SORSupport@omni.org with any questions or concerns – we are more than happy to help – but we also recognize the need to reduce any undue burden on you and your staff at this time.

The non-Federal entity must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity in accordance with applicable Federal awarding agency policy. Failure to adhere to these statues will result in immediate termination of funding.

Virginia’s State Opioid Response (SOR) grant is awarded at the discretion of DBHDS and SAMHSA. All recipients of SOR funding supports evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery services to address opioid and stimulant misuse and use disorders, including for cocaine and methamphetamine. The SOR grant is not intended to be utilized as a long-term or permanent funding source. All SOR proposals must include a realistic plan for financial sustainability beyond the grant period.
