Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 106
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program - Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (RCORP-NAS) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It sits within HRSA's broader, multi-year RCORP initiative, which is designed to reduce illness and death tied to substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in high-risk rural communities. RCORP-NAS narrows that overall mission to a specific and urgent outcome: lowering the incidence of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in rural areas and reducing the harm NAS causes to infants and families by strengthening local systems of care, expanding family supports, and addressing social determinants of health that contribute to substance use and poor maternal and infant outcomes.
The program emphasizes systems change over isolated services. The expectation is that funded communities will improve how prevention, treatment, and recovery supports work together across healthcare and social service settings, so that pregnant people and families affected by OUD are not forced to navigate disconnected programs. The work is aligned with HHS's five-point strategy released in 2017 to combat opioid abuse, misuse, and overdose, and applicants are directed to implement a set of prevention, treatment, and recovery strategies described in the funding notice. Those strategies are intended to be evidence-based or grounded in promising practice models, and applicants are encouraged to choose the mix of strategies that best fits the needs they identify in their local service area and target population.
The target population is clearly defined and centers on maternal and family health in rural settings: pregnant women, mothers, and women of childbearing age who have a history of SUD/OUD or are at risk for it, as well as their children, families, and caregivers. Eligibility for the "rural" designation is tied to HRSA-designated rural areas and is determined using the Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer, which is the tool HRSA uses to confirm whether a proposed service area qualifies under its rural definitions. While the primary aim is reducing NAS and OUD, HRSA acknowledges that opioid use often occurs alongside other substance use issues. Consortia may choose to address other substances affecting the same population, but the notice makes a point of stating that doing so does not provide any competitive advantage, priority, or preference in the review process, including for issues related to methamphetamine or alcohol.
A major structural requirement of RCORP-NAS is collaboration. Because NAS and OUD are complex, multi-factor problems that involve medical care, behavioral health, child and family services, and community conditions, HRSA requires applicants to apply as part of a broad, multi-sector consortium. This is meant to ensure community buy-in and practical coordination among partners that typically need to be involved for real change to happen, such as healthcare providers, behavioral health and recovery organizations, public health agencies, social services, and other local stakeholders. The consortium is also expected to be ready to move quickly, with the capacity to operationalize the proposed work plan immediately upon receiving an award, rather than spending an extended start-up period building basic infrastructure.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a contract) with a health-focused activity category and a CFDA number of 93.912. The opportunity number is HRSA-20-106, and the notice was created on June 11, 2020 with an original closing date of July 20, 2020. HRSA anticipated making about 30 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000. A wide range of applicants were eligible, including state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other entities as clarified in the eligibility section of the notice. Overall, the opportunity is designed for rural communities that can bring partners together to implement practical, evidence-informed strategies that reduce NAS and improve outcomes for mothers, infants, and families by changing how local systems respond to OUD before, during, and after pregnancy.Apply for HRSA 20 106
