State and Tribal Opioid Response Grants Audit

In this series of audits, OIG reviewed Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants to address the opioid overdose crisis. Specifically, these grants include State Targeted Response to the Opioid Crisis (Opioid STR), State Opioid Response (SOR), and Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) grants. OIG will determine how select States or Tribal agencies implemented programs under these grants and whether the activities of these agencies and subrecipients responsible for implementing the programs complied with Federal regulations and met program goals.
