Specifications include, but are not limited to: Through State Opioid Response funding, the Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) seeks to procure a vendor who will conduct a training institute across Alaska to enhance the number of entities who teach PIP to their clients. DBH desires a vendor who will facilitate this support by coordinating mini-grants for agencies and their family clientele to take this training. For the training institute, the vendor will offer trainings to at least three Alaska agencies that serve families affected by opioid and/or stimulant use disorder. Affected is defined by having a family member who has struggled with either of these use disorders. These trainings must be in person. The vendor will need to work with local organizations, including tribal councils, tribal state entities, and tribal health organizations to better understand common practices and teachings to blend in with the PIP curriculum. The vendor will also need to work with NICWA to understand the needs of their agency to ensure fidelity of the PIP program. This includes bringing NICWA trainers and facilitators to Alaska to conduct the training. The vendor will coordinate mini-grants for Alaska agencies interested in implementing the curriculum for families. Those who received the PIP training from the vendor will qualify for these mini-grants. The vendor will need to demonstrate methods of deliverable accountability and fiscal management of the program and supporting mini-grant recipients.
