Limited to one application per institution.
The purpose of the Rural Health Opioid Program RHOP is to promote rural health care services outreach by expanding the delivery of opioid-related health care services to rural communities.  The program will reduce the morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses in rural communities through the development of broad community consortiums to prepare individuals with opioid-use disorder (OUD) to start treatment, implement care coordination practices to organize patient care activities,  and support individuals in recovery through the enhancement of behavioral counselling and peer support activities. This program will bring together health care providers (i.e. local health departments, hospitals, primary care practices, and substance abuse treatment providers) and entities such as social service and faith-based organizations, law enforcement, and other community-based groups to respond multifaceted to the opioid epidemic in a rural community.  The consortium must include at least three health care providers. The program supports three years of funding.

The Health Resources and Services Administration HRSA is the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care by strengthening the health care workforce, building healthy communities and achieving health equity.  
HRSA grants improve and expand health care services for underserved people, focusing on the following program areas:  Health Professions, HIV/AIDS, Maternal & Child Health, Office of the Administrator, Primary Health Care/Health Centers, Rural Health, Healthcare Systems, Organ Donation, and Clinician Recruitment.
