Healthy Grants Workshop (1 of 8)
Allowability of Costs

Learn what costs you may charge to a federal award. This helps you ensure your costs are allowable. And you’ll know how best to manage federal funds.

The workshops fall into two tracks:
NEW Recipients/Refresher track with presentations to support the learning and application of concepts for individuals and organizations new to managing HRSA grant awards.
Advanced track with presentations that will benefit individuals and organizations significantly experienced with grants management and looking for information and practices more in line with their seasoned level of expertise.
As with last year, you can still sign up for any, and as many, presentations and sessions as you would like, regardless of your proficiency with grants management.

Case Management for Substance Use
It can be quite challenging for those with substance use disorders. Individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) commonly have concurrent mental and physical health problems and face multiple barriers to treatment.

This session will focus on the effective use of case management services for individuals with substance use disorders. Topics will include social determinates of health (SDOH) and why SDOH are important to understand and address the barriers to treatment/recovery. Additionally, the session will discuss the differences between case management and care management, the types of case management models, why case management is important to the addiction treatment and recovery, with best practices.

Hemp Derived Substances
The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill allowing the production of hemp products created a controversial loophole in the law which seemingly permitted businesses to sell consumable, intoxicating hemp products. As a result, the sale and recreational use of these hemp derived intoxicants increased dramatically in 2020 and continues to remain steady. Many Wyoming communities have seen the recent opening of stores and existing stores selling these products locally. While Delta-8 THC is the most common hemp derived intoxicant product, may other products exist producing intoxicating effects in consumers similar to legalized cannabis and other illicit drugs. This presentation will cover the multitude of hemp derived intoxicants currently available on the market, the psychoactive effects of these products, and the public health and safety concerns regarding these products due to a lack of federal and state regulation.
