Innovation Projects harness innovative approaches to use data to drive meaningful changes in real-world opioid use disorder treatment and pain management. They aim to enhance data systems — how data is collected, shared, and used — while engaging various partners to support informed decision-making and timely feedback. These efforts accelerate the implementation of effective interventions, ultimately improving overdose-related outcomes.
Acceleration Projects aim to improve the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of existing data systems. They facilitate quicker and more effective responses to the overdose crisis, emphasizing prevention strategies, harm reduction, evidence-based treatments, and support for recovery.

Most recently, the Innovation and Acceleration Projects have developed:
- Clinics Optimizing Methadone Take-Homes Resources: These resources developed by the Clinics Optimizing Methadone Take-Homes (COMET) Innovation project support opioid treatment programs in their take-home medication decision-making and care delivery.
- Several presentations and published articles at national conferences and in highly ranked journals.
