Abstract
The STR grant program administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) got a clean bill of health from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services last month. This audit should be big news, because there have been so many questions about where the grants are going. But nobody reported it — because it was good news? So, in case you didn't hear, the conclusion of the OIG: SAMHSA followed both grant regulations and the 21st Century Cures Act, which authorized the grants, in administering the grants. “We often hear about the problems federal agencies encounter as opposed to the good work moving forward in Washington, D.C.,” Rob Morrison, executive director of the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, whose members received the STR grants, told ADAW last week. “It is nice for the public to see the good work taking place at SAMHSA on one of the most high‐profile issues facing the country at this time.” For the report, go to https://oig.hhs.gov/oas/reports/region3/31703302.asp.
