Kentucky is taking part in a new national effort to combat opioid addiction and overdose deaths, thanks to an $87 million grant from the federal government.

The University of Kentucky announced the receipt of the grant — its largest ever — on Thursday.

The university, in partnership with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services and the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, received $87 million from the federal government to study and combat the state’s ongoing opioid epidemic.
