The grant program under this section may be coordinated with the Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment grant program of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or other appropriate programs.
In this subsection, the term eligible entity includes— States; physician organizations; continuing education entities, such as health profession boards or health accrediting bodies; peer recovery organizations; and other appropriate health or professional education organizations or institutions.
