The Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council is now accepting applications for community grants, reports the Nashville Post. Proposed projects must fit into approved remediation strategies organized into six categories: research/evaluation of abatement strategy efficacy, primary prevention, education, treatment, harm reduction and recovery support. Applications close Oct. 9. The council is set to receive more than $600 million over the next 18 years to distribute from various lawsuits against companies that made, distributed, or sold opioid painkillers, including Purdue Pharma, Johnson & Johnson and Walmart.
