Ohio State announced the winners of more than $1 million in grants to fuel research to help combat the opioid epidemic. Eight teams were awarded grants, including one led by Harvey Miller, director of the Center for Urban Regional Analysis (CURA), professor of geography, and the Reusche Chair in Geographic Information Science. Miller’s team received a $96,762 implementation grant to develop the Franklin County Opioid Crisis Activities Levels Map to develop a system to track and map, on a daily basis, data on opiate overdoses from the 22 emergency medical services organizations in Franklin County. The data will be used to help connect communities in greatest need to resources to combat overdoses.
