Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) – Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome is a competitive discretionary grant administered directly by the federal government through the Health Resources and Services Administration. The program focuses on Health and Human Services, specifically aiming to lower the occurrence and severity of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome within rural populations. This is achieved by enhancing systems of care, strengthening family support networks, and addressing the social determinants of health. Currently, the program status is closed and pending the next funding cycle. While the initiative is managed by the Health Resources and Services Administration, it is designed to provide critical resources and infrastructure to improve health outcomes for infants and families affected by opioid use in rural areas.
