Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 21 091
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program - Psychostimulant Support (RCORP-PS) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It sits under HRSA's broader, multi-year RCORP initiative, which is focused on lowering illness and death linked to substance use disorder (SUD) in high-risk rural areas, including but not limited to opioid use disorder (OUD). This specific funding track narrows in on psychostimulant misuse and psychostimulant use disorders, with the intent of strengthening and expanding prevention, treatment, and recovery supports so that rural residents can access care more easily and make progress toward stable recovery.
RCORP-PS is structured as a three-year effort. Awardees are expected to carry out a defined set of core prevention, treatment, and recovery activities for psychostimulant use disorders during the period of performance (the full required package is referenced in the opportunity as being detailed in Section IV.2). HRSA frames psychostimulants broadly for the purpose of this program, including illegal stimulants such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and ecstasy, as well as prescription stimulants that may be used for conditions like ADHD or depression. Applicants are expected to be explicit about which psychostimulants they intend to target, and to spell that out clearly in the Project Abstract and the Needs Assessment portions of the application narrative, tying the choice of substances to local data and community conditions.
A key design feature of RCORP-PS is that it is not meant to be run by a single organization acting alone. HRSA requires applicants to apply as part of a broad, multi-sector consortium made up of at least four separately owned entities (meaning they have different EINs), counting the applicant organization as one of the members. This requirement reflects how complex psychostimulant use disorders can be and how important it is to build shared ownership across the local system. On top of that, the consortium has to be meaningfully rural: at least half (50 percent or more) of the separately owned consortium members must be physically located in HRSA-designated rural areas, as determined using HRSA's Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer.
The target population is also defined in a way that emphasizes community-wide impact in rural places. The program is aimed at (1) people who are at risk for psychostimulant use disorders, who have been diagnosed, and/or who are in treatment or recovery; (2) their families and caregivers; and (3) other community members affected by psychostimulant use disorders, all residing in HRSA-designated rural areas. HRSA also encourages applicants to intentionally include and address groups within rural communities that have historically experienced worse health outcomes and persistent inequities. The opportunity highlights, for example, rural racial and ethnic minority populations who may face higher rates of poor self-reported health, cost-related barriers to seeing a physician, or lack of a regular health care provider. Other examples of groups applicants may focus on include people experiencing homelessness, pregnant people, and youth and adolescents.
While the main emphasis is psychostimulants, HRSA acknowledges the reality that many people who misuse stimulants also use multiple substances or have co-occurring conditions. Because of that, recipients are allowed to use RCORP-PS resources to address other SUD-related needs that are connected to the psychostimulant-affected population in their service area. The expectation is that any added activities are clearly justified by local needs and tied back to the target population's situation. At the same time, HRSA makes it clear that proposing extra activities beyond the required core elements does not create a competitive advantage, priority, or preference during review; the program is still judged primarily on meeting the core expectations well.
Another major component is technical assistance. Award recipients are expected to work closely throughout the full three years with a HRSA-funded technical assistance provider. This support is provided at no additional cost to grantees and is meant to help sites hit their intended outcomes, improve sustainability planning, align performance reporting and evaluation, implement quality improvement, and troubleshoot barriers that come up during implementation. HRSA notes that recipients will receive more details about the technical assistance structure after an award is made.
From the published opportunity details, the funding opportunity number is HRSA-21-091, and it is associated with CFDA 93.912. The program anticipated making about 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The opportunity was originally posted January 11, 2021, with an original closing date of April 12, 2021. Overall, RCORP-PS is designed for rural communities that can demonstrate psychostimulant-related need, organize a strong cross-sector partnership, and deliver a coordinated set of prevention, treatment, and recovery strategies that fit local realities and can be strengthened over a three-year build period.Apply for HRSA 21 091
