What the grant funds

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is a multi-year HRSA initiative aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in rural communities. This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program–Rural Centers of Excellence on Substance Use Disorder (RCORP-RCOE). The purpose of this program is to build the evidence base for what prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions are most effective and sustainable in rural communities. The Centers will achieve this by identifying, implementing, and evaluating SUD/OUD community-based pilot projects and then disseminating the outcomes, lessons learned, and translatability of those projects to other rural settings through written publications, conference presentations, toolkits, and other mediums, including a joint Clearinghouse. These dissemination efforts will in turn assist other rural entities in establishing, expanding, and/or strengthening the quality of SUD services in their communities. Three Centers will be awarded under this funding opportunity: 1) RCORP-Rural Center of Excellence on SUD Prevention 2) RCORP-Rural Center of Excellence on SUD Treatment 3) RCORP-Rural Center of Excellence on SUD Recovery Each Center will propose to implement and evaluate five community-based pilot projects over the five-year period of performance that pertain to the Center’s focus area (Prevention, Treatment, or Recovery). A non-exhaustive list of possible topics for each Center is included in Appendix A. Applicants must justify the knowledge gaps each pilot project will fill and how the projects will contribute to the evidence base for effective SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions in rural settings. Four final projects will be chosen in consultation with HRSA upon receipt of award and may include emerging priorities from HHS/HRSA and/or the field. Post award, the proposed pilot projects will be defined collaboratively between the Centers and HRSA. This process may include additional input from HRSA on possible alternative proposals and/or suggested proposal modifications, depending on the needs and priorities at that time. Proposed projects can be local or regional in scope, but should aim to produce findings/results with a high likelihood of being replicable and translatable in other rural communities across the country.
