Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 031
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Implementation (RCORP-Implementation) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to help high-risk rural communities reduce illness and death tied to substance use disorder (SUD), with a primary focus on opioid use disorder (OUD). The core purpose of this funding is to strengthen and expand prevention, treatment, and recovery supports so that rural residents can more readily access services, begin treatment when needed, and sustain recovery over time. The program sits within HRSA's larger multi-year RCORP initiative and is aligned with HHS's five-point Strategy to Combat Opioid Abuse, Misuse, and Overdose, which emphasizes coordinated local action to address the opioid crisis.
RCORP-Implementation is built around the expectation that awardees will carry out a defined set of core prevention, treatment, and recovery activities (referenced in the notice as being detailed in Section IV.2). These activities are intended to be evidence-based or based on promising practices, while still giving communities room to adapt the approach to local realities like limited provider availability, transportation barriers, stigma, and the need to coordinate services across large geographic areas. The opportunity reflects the idea that tackling OUD in rural areas requires more than a single program or clinic; it takes an integrated, community-wide response that links health care, behavioral health, social services, and other local systems.
A key requirement is that applicants participate in a broad, multi-sector consortium. For this program, a consortium means an arrangement of at least four separately owned domestic public or private organizations, including the lead applicant, that already have working relationships in place. Each participating organization (including the applicant) must have a different Employer Identification Number (EIN). HRSA emphasizes that these consortia should be ready to put their work plans into action quickly once funding is awarded, reflecting an implementation focus rather than a planning-only phase. This structure is meant to ensure community buy-in, expand referral and service networks, and help generate enough patient volume and coordination to keep services viable in rural settings.
The target population includes people who are at risk for OUD, have been diagnosed with OUD, and/or are currently in treatment or recovery, along with their families and caregivers and other community members living in HRSA-designated rural areas (as determined through the Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer). While OUD is the central priority, HRSA recognizes that many individuals experience polysubstance use and co-occurring conditions. Because of that, consortia may address broader SUD-related needs when it makes sense for their population and service area. The notice also points to CDC data showing increasing overdose deaths involving psychostimulants such as methamphetamine in rural communities, often with synthetic opioids contributing to those deaths. Applicants may propose additional activities to strengthen local capacity to address methamphetamine misuse if there is a demonstrated need and capability, but the announcement makes clear that proposing meth-related activities does not provide any competitive preference or funding advantage.
A major theme of RCORP-Implementation is sustainability. HRSA expects funded communities not only to deliver services during the grant period but also to maintain them afterward. Over the three-year period of performance, award recipients must develop a detailed sustainability plan for both the consortium partnership and the SUD/OUD services supported through the project. This emphasis reflects the reality that short-term interventions are unlikely to meaningfully change outcomes unless communities can keep core prevention, treatment, and recovery supports in place beyond the federal funding window.
Awardees are also expected to work closely with a HRSA-funded technical assistance (TA) provider throughout the project. This targeted TA is provided at no cost to recipients and is intended to help troubleshoot implementation barriers, improve performance and outcomes, and support long-term sustainability. HRSA indicates that additional information about the TA structure is provided after award, but the requirement signals that the program is meant to be actively supported and guided during execution, not simply funded and left to operate in isolation.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity is listed as HRSA 20-031 under CFDA 93.912, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award and an anticipated 89 awards. The opportunity was posted February 4, 2020, with an original closing date of April 24, 2020. Overall, RCORP-Implementation is aimed at helping rural regions move from recognizing the opioid crisis to building and maintaining a coordinated set of services that prevent OUD where possible, treat it effectively when it occurs, and support long-term recovery for individuals, families, and the broader rural community.Apply for HRSA 20 031
