Overview

Mission

The schreiber research group (tsrg) is a team of experts whose mission is to improve substance-use-related outcomes through community outreach, consulting services, and research.

What it reported doing in 2025

HRSA Implementation Program: The HRSA Implementation Program supported the development and operationalization of coordinated community-based strategies to address substance use disorder in rural and underserved regions of Southeast Colorado. Through this initiative, The Schreiber Research Group convenes cross-sector stakeholders including public health agencies, healthcare providers, behavioral health organizations, law enforcement, and community-based partners to strengthen local systems of care. Core activities included conducting community needs assessments, facilitating coalition development, expanding access to evidence-based services, and building the capacity of local organizations to respond to substance use and related health outcomes. The program emphasizes data-informed decision making through regular data collection, analysis, and dissemination, enabling communities to identify service gaps, align resources, and implement sustainable, locally driven solutions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 93% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
