Regional Opioid Abatement Council (ROAC) Funding Requests — 60% Regional Share
Colorado's 19 Regional Opioid Abatement Councils, overseen by the Colorado Opioid Abatement Council
Roughly $547.6 million of Colorado's settlement is controlled by 19 regional councils made up of local government and community representatives, who decide their own region's spending on twice-yearly request deadlines.
- Indicative award
- Amount not published (varies by call)No statewide award range exists — each of the 19 regions allocates from its own share of the $547.6 million regional pot, and request sizes are set regionally. A regional primary-contact list is published as a PDF from the same page.
- Timing
- Several times a yearSeveral times a year · Mar, SepPublished deadline: 2026-09-15 — 32 days awayFunding requests are due September 15 and March 15 of each year. An additional deadline of November 13, 2026 has been approved. Because regions run their own intake, confirm the date and format with your region's primary contact before relying on the statewide dates.

- Eligibility
- Requests are made to the region's own council, not to a statewide competition; each of the 19 ROACs sets its own process and primary contact. Applicants are in practice local governments and their partner or implementing organizations within that region. A university is not a general-eligibility applicant class — a researcher normally enters as an evaluation partner named in a local government's or provider's regional request, and must have a presence in that region.
