HRSA’s Opioid Workforce Education Program (OWEP)

This Grant has been Completed.

The NMSU School of Nursing was recently awarded a 3-year, $1.35 million federal training grant from the Health Research & Services Administration (HRSA).  This project, titled “Expanding the New Mexico SUD/OUD Treatment and Prevention Workforce through Interprofessional Education and Training” will be part of  HRSA’s Opioid Workforce Education Program (OWEP).

The overall goal of the project is to increase the number of professionals in the state of New Mexico, and in particular the Southern New Mexico counties, who are trained in interprofessional settings to effectively prevent and treat opioid use disorder and other substance abuse disorders in community-based practices.
