The Overdose Prevention Engagement Network (OPEN) at the University of Michigan is pleased to offer a grant funding opportunity to support implementation of permanent medication disposal boxes. We aim to remove the risk of unused medications and substances from our community by establishing permanent disposal boxes in locations that are convenient for patients and community members.
Applicants will have the opportunity to select the disposal box that best meets their capacity and needs. Boxes, or kiosks, will be provided through American Rx Group and purchased for the awardee by OPEN. Awardees will be responsible for installation of the box, as well as providing metrics on the use and impact of the box through progress reporting.
