FORE awarded a $65,702 grant to Tradeoffs, a nonprofit dedicated to reporting on health policy issues, to support new reporting on the opioid and overdose crisis over the coming year. The funding will enable Tradeoffs to develop two in-depth podcast episodes, complemented by written articles and visuals, that highlight innovative approaches to addressing opioid use disorder and overdose prevention.

Since its founding in 2019, Tradeoffs has produced over 200 podcast episodes and 50 news articles on complex healthcare issues, earning a reputation as a trusted resource for policymakers, healthcare administrators, researchers, and nonprofit leaders. With an average of 45,000 weekly listeners and collaborations with major news outlets such as NPR and STAT, Tradeoffs has the reach and impact to shape the national conversation on opioid and overdose response efforts.

“At FORE, we recognize the power of storytelling to advance understanding and action on the opioid crisis,” said Karen A.
