Data-driven UA Team Wins $1M Grant to Develop Opioid Abuse Tool for Law Enforcement and Community Partners Timelines: Culverhouse History
- June 11th, 2025
The Institute of Business Analytics at The University of Alabama’s Culverhouse College of Business received a nearly $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to create UNLOCK — the Unified Nexus for Leveraging Opioid Crime Knowledge. This data-driven platform will help law enforcement, public health officials, and community partners better understand the scope of the opioid crisis in Alabama. By integrating data from sources like toxicology reports, evidence tests, and coroner records, UNLOCK will deliver actionable insights to support smarter, more effective responses to opioid-related challenges statewide.
