We are writing to announce that we have released a wave of updates that will affect the SOR GPRA process. These updates include:

  • Changes to the Intake GPRA and Follow-up & Discharge GPRA

  • Releasing print versions of the Intake GPRA and Follow-up & Discharge GPRA in Spanish

  • Launching the Online Follow-up & Discharge GPRA

  • Launching the Follow-up & Discharge Tracking Document in CSB folders

  • Changes to supporting documents:

    • Intake Question by Question Guide

    • Follow-up & Discharge Question by Question Guide

    • Online Practice Intake GPRA

Follow-Up & Discharge GPRA Trainings

The SOR Support team will be providing two webinar trainings on follow-up and discharge GPRA administration. During this training, we will cover:

  • Timeline and grant requirements for collecting both follow-up and discharge GPRA data

  • Sections of the GPRA involved

  • Strategies for tracking and completing follow-ups and discharges

  • Administrative components: incentives, tracking clients, entering data, resources, etc.

SOR GPRA Full Launch - Starts Today!

Today (6/17) marks the start of the SOR GPRA full launch. From this point on, the expectation is that all eligible clients (those receiving SOR funded MAT services) should have an intake GPRA completed and submitted - provided they consent. We hope the few weeks of soft launch were helpful for ironing out processes related to GPRA collection and becoming familiar with the tool itself.

The non-Federal entity must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity in accordance with applicable Federal awarding agency policy. Failure to adhere to these statues will result in immediate termination of funding.

Virginia’s State Opioid Response (SOR) grant is awarded at the discretion of DBHDS and SAMHSA. All recipients of SOR funding supports evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery services to address opioid and stimulant misuse and use disorders, including for cocaine and methamphetamine. The SOR grant is not intended to be utilized as a long-term or permanent funding source. All SOR proposals must include a realistic plan for financial sustainability beyond the grant period.
