What the grant funds

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is a multi-year initiative by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in high risk rural communities. This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under RCORP-Psychostimulant Support (RCORP-PS). RCORP-PS will advance RCORP’s overall goal by strengthening and expanding prevention, treatment, and recovery services for rural individuals who misuse psychostimulants to enhance their ability to access treatment and move towards recovery. Over the course of a three-year period of performance, RCORP-PS award recipients will implement a set of core psychostimulant use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery activities, as outlined in Section IV.2. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, psychostimulants include methamphetamine and other illegal drugs, such as cocaine and ecstasy, as well as prescription stimulants for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or depression.1 Applicants should detail in the "Project Abstract" and “Needs Assessment” sections of the Project Narrative which psychostimulants they propose to target with the funding. Given the complex and multifaceted nature of psychostimulant use disorders, as well as the need to secure community buy-in, HRSA requires that applicants be part of broad, multi-sectoral consortia consisting of four or more separately-owned (i.e., different Employment Identification Numbers (EINs)) entities, including the applicant organization.2 A majority, or at least 50 percent, of separately owned consortium members must be physically located in HRSA-designated rural areas, as defined by the Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer. The target population for this award are 1) individuals who are at risk for, have been diagnosed with, and/or are in treatment and/or recovery for psychostimulant use disorders; 2) their families and/or caregivers; and 3) other community members3 who reside in HRSA-designated rural areas. Applicants are encouraged to include populations that have historically suffered from poorer health outcomes, health disparities, and other inequities, as compared to the rest of the target population, when addressing SUD in the proposed service area.
