Combating Overdose through Community-Level Interdiction (COCLI) grant program is funded through a partnership between ONDCP and CDC.
Purpose
Provides funding to conduct and evaluate research designed to help communities address opioid, stimulant, and/or poly-drug overdose in regions of the U.S. with the highest rates of fatal and non-fatal overdose.

- Tier 3 awards focus on implementation and evaluation of medium-sized projects that have some evidence base but would benefit from full implementation and evaluation
Required grant activities include:
- Support and promote collaboration between public safety and public health agencies to ensure that overdose reduction efforts are aligned and communities benefit from a comprehensive and coordinated response
- Leverage evidence-based or promising approaches to implement or enhance new or on-going community-based programs that aim to reduce drug overdose
- Evaluate interventions to assess their effectiveness in reducing overdose and other harms associated with drug use
