New Funding Opportunity: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome – Applications Due March 8. HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy will be making a $20 million investment for approximately 40 grants to reduce the incidence and impact of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in rural communities. Over the course of a three-year period of performance, RCORP-NAS recipients will collaborate with local, state, and regional stakeholders to provide coordinated, trauma-informed, and family-centered behavioral and maternal health care services, including medication-assisted treatment, to rural pregnant and postpartum persons and their families. Applicant organizations may be located in an urban or rural area; however, all activities supported by the program must exclusively occur in HRSA-designated rural areas. See pg. ii of NOFO for information on the webinar for applicants taking place on January 4. (No registration required.)
