SFY 2026 RSAT

This solicitation is for applicants who wish to apply for competitive funds under the Nebraska Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Grant Program. The RSAT Program was created by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103 -322) and codified at 34 U.S.C. § 10421 et. seq. Pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 10421 et. seq. the BJA RSAT seeks to support efforts to provide residential treatment within state correctional facilities as well as local correctional and detention facilities and to provide aftercare/recovery support services upon release into the community. The RSAT Program also supports efforts to address the overdose crisis – in confinement and re-entry – through increased access to evidence-based treatment, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which is the use of medication in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies. The opioid crisis and increases in drug overdose deaths continues to devastate individuals, families and communities across the nation. Addressing these issues is a federal priority, including increasing access to evidence-based treatment such as medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), counseling, and behavioral health therapies across all settings. See the SFY 2026 RSAT Notice of Funding Opportunity for further details.
