About Foundation for opioid response efforts
The Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts (FORE) is a national, private, grantmaking foundation that is dedicated to inspiring and accelerating action to end the opioid epidemic in the United States. FORE was established in 2018 with a mission to support innovative and effective approaches to preventing opioid misuse, treating addiction, and supporting recovery.
The opioid epidemic has been one of the most significant public health crises in recent history. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 450,000 people have died from an overdose involving opioids since 1999. The crisis has affected individuals from all walks of life and has had a devastating impact on families, communities, and society as a whole.
FORE recognizes that addressing this complex issue requires collaboration across multiple sectors. As such, it works closely with partners from government agencies, healthcare organizations, academic institutions, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, and other stakeholders to identify promising solutions that can be scaled up or replicated.
One of FORE's key strategies is providing funding for research projects that aim to improve our understanding of the causes of opioid misuse and addiction as well as identify effective prevention strategies. FORE also supports initiatives aimed at improving access to evidence-based treatment options for individuals struggling with addiction.
In addition to its grantmaking activities, FORE also engages in advocacy efforts aimed at promoting policies that support prevention efforts and expand access to treatment options. It works closely with policymakers at all levels of government to ensure that they are aware of the latest research findings related to opioids so they can make informed decisions about how best to address this crisis.
Overall, FORE's work is critical in helping us move closer towards ending the opioid epidemic once and for all. Its commitment towards supporting innovative solutions through research funding grants will help us better understand how we can prevent future cases while providing those who are currently struggling with addiction access necessary resources needed on their road towards recovery.
