Next SOR Grant Year Information

Greetings, Virginia SOR Subgrantees

 

As we’re rolling into the final quarter of SOR III, Year 1, we wanted to touch base on a few things.

  1. There WILL be a SOR III, Year 2. -- September 30th, 2023 to September 29, 2024.

  2. We WILL be issuing individual treatment and recovery award amounts (with further instructions) once we receive notification from SAMHSA finalizing Virginia’s SOR III, Year 2 award amount.

  3. Your treatment and recovery award amount notifications will include proposal due dates and other relevant instructions.

  4. Proposals WILL NOT be submitted through WebGrants this year, as we were previously told.

  5. If you received approval for funding this year for a position (wage or salary) that you have been unable to fill so far, and suspect that it will remain vacant through the end of this grant year, please do not include this position in your proposal for the coming year.

  6. Proposal narratives should be submitted in MS Word or PDF. Budgets must be in Excel spreadsheet format. (We’ll remind you at least two more times of this.)

 

Information regarding SOR Prevention will be communicated through the Virginia Prevention Works portal.

I think that’s all for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mike Zohab or me.

 

Thanks so much!
