The PDMP TTAC team has developed working relationships with many key federal partners representing public health and public safety communities and regularly collaborates with numerous national organizations. During this reporting period, the PDMP TTAC staff supported the following national and federal partners:

An in-person meeting of TTA providers has not yet been scheduled; however, the PDMP TTAC staff will participate when the meeting is held.

During the reporting period, the PDMP TTAC team participated in weekly conference calls with BJA leaders to discuss current PDMP projects and activities. In addition, the TTAC team participated in two quarterly COSSUP TTA Collaborative calls with BJA and other TTA providers.

During this rating period, PDMP TTAC participated in three national events.

• Rx and Illicit Drug Summit – Atlanta, GA April 1-4, 2024. PDMP TTAC coordinated presentations with select PDMP Administrators on “Practical Application of Academic Detailing for PDMPs”.
• IJIS Community Forum – attended virtually, April 3, 2024. PDMP TTAC presented an overview of PDMPs and data sharing during a plenary session titled “The Need for Improving Justice to Health Data Sharing”

The PDMP TTAC team has been involved with BJA’s GrantStat Program in previous years, and, utilizing the GrantStat measurements, identified PDMPs in need of specialized technical assistance. However, BJA did not request the PDMP TTAC team’s participation in the GrantStat Program during this reporting period. The PDMP TTAC team will fully participate in GrantStat upon request and will take whatever action is deemed appropriate by BJA to assist grantees in meeting performance and deliverable requirements.

BJA leadership did not request that PDMP TTAC staff members review progress reports during this reporting period, nor have the reports been made available for review. When the reports are provided, PDMP TTAC staff members will review them to identify common grantee needs and use the information gathered to develop a more effective TTA delivery strategy. In the meantime, the PDMP TTAC staff continually draws on its relationships and experiences with PDMPs to identify new technical assistance delivery strategies.

Part of the technical assistance that the PDMP TTAC team has provided to PDMPs over the years has been assistance with grantee data collection and reporting requirements for BJA performance measures. PDMP TTAC staff members assisted the Northern Mariana Islands PDMP by explaining the appropriate method to report their instances of providing training on system use. The PDMP TTAC team also worked with BJA to revise and streamline the performance measurement form and metrics.
