West Virginia Governor Morrisey Announces University Partnerships to Maximize Impact of Opioid Settlement Funds
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced in Fairmont, Marion County, that the state and the West Virginia First Foundation will partner with six universities to direct the state's opioid settlement funds, totaling more than $1 billion, toward addiction prevention and recovery services.
Each university has a defined role: West Virginia University will lead a statewide needs assessment, and its Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute will research focused-ultrasound addiction treatment; Marshall University will host a Center of Excellence for Recovery; West Virginia Wesleyan College will focus on addiction and trauma care and counselor workforce development; the University of Charleston will manage pharmacy naloxone distribution and tracking; Johns Hopkins University will support evidence-based grantmaking and outcomes measurement; and the University of Notre Dame's Wilson Sheehan Lab will conduct independent evaluations.
Morrisey secured more than $1 billion in settlements while serving as attorney general, the highest per-capita total in the nation. The administration said the university partnerships are intended to tie every settlement dollar to measurable prevention and recovery outcomes.
