AI Contract Overview
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)-Planning is designed to assist rural organizations in building foundational partnerships and capacity to create sustainable systems addressing substance use disorders (SUD), with a focus on opioid misuse and its effects in rural America. Recognizing the complexity of opioid misuse, the program also considers individuals who struggle with other substances including alcohol, emphasizing the need for comprehensive mental, behavioral, and social support services. The program is intended to overcome barriers that rural communities face in accessing larger federal grants by providing essential start-up funding to develop coordinated service systems that promote accessible care, enhance the behavioral health workforce, and secure community support. Funding under this program is strictly for planning activities, not for direct service delivery. The goal is to prepare rural communities to implement sustainable prevention, treatment, recovery, and supportive services that reduce substance use initiation and misuse, address the holistic needs of individuals affected by substance use, and lower disease and mortality rates related to opioid use disorder and other substance use problems. The program is managed by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, with contact available via ruralopioidresponse@hrsa.gov or phone. This initiative represents a critical first step in building effective local responses to the opioid crisis in high-risk rural areas.

Full Description
Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)-Planning supports organizations in rural communities to build the partnerships and foundational capacity needed to develop, implement and sustain a comprehensive system of substance use disorder (SUD) and related services.
RCORP’s focus is on opioid misuse and its impact on rural America. However, HRSA recognizes that people who misuse opioids often struggle with other substances as well, including alcohol. Individuals struggling with SUD, including opioid use disorder (OUD), need a continuum of mental, behavioral, and related social supports. RCORP-Planning helps address these needs in a comprehensive way.
This program is intended for rural communities that may find the logistics or requirements of larger, more complex federal grant programs to be barriers to accessing start-up support. Funding will serve as a critical first step to creating SUD service systems that make care easy to access, strengthen the behavioral health workforce, and have strong community buy-in. It will help prepare communities to provide sustainable prevention, treatment, recovery, and other supportive services that:
- reduce substance use initiation and misuse,
- address the mental, behavioral, and psychosocial needs of people who use illicit substances or misuse alcohol, or are in recovery from substance use problems, and
- reduce disease and death related to substance use problems, including OUD, in high-risk rural communities.
The intent of this program is to fund planning activities only. Funds may not be used for direct service delivery.
