Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 022
The Rural Health Opioid Program (RHOP) is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to help rural communities strengthen their response to the opioid epidemic. The central aim is to expand access to opioid-related health care services in rural areas and, in doing so, reduce illness and death linked to opioid overdoses. Rather than focusing on a single intervention, RHOP is structured to support a coordinated, community-wide approach that reaches people at risk, connects them to treatment, and helps them stay engaged in recovery supports over time.
A defining feature of RHOP is its emphasis on building a broad local consortium to carry out the work. Applicants are expected to bring together multiple partners across the community, including both health care organizations and non-clinical community entities. Examples of expected partners include local health departments, hospitals, primary care practices, and substance use treatment providers, along with social service organizations, faith-based groups, law enforcement, and other community-based organizations. The consortium requirement is not optional: it must include at least three health care providers, signaling that HRSA expects clinical capacity and service delivery infrastructure to be embedded in the partnership from the start.
The program supports three years of funding, giving awardees time to implement activities that require sustained coordination and community engagement. RHOP-funded projects are expected to identify individuals who are at risk of overdose, conduct outreach, and guide people toward recovery by improving their awareness of and access to locally available treatment options and support services. A major program component is education, both for individuals with opioid-use disorder (OUD) and for the broader community. This education can cover what OUD is, what treatment options exist, how to help prepare individuals to begin treatment, how to refer people into appropriate care, and practical ways families and community members can support individuals in recovery.
Beyond outreach and education, RHOP encourages consortiums to implement care coordination practices to organize patient care activities. In practical terms, this means improving how services are connected so that people do not fall through gaps when moving between screening, referral, treatment initiation, and longer-term recovery supports. The opportunity also prioritizes recovery support services by encouraging communities to enhance or expand behavioral counseling and peer support activities. These elements reflect widely used recovery frameworks, including SAMHSA resources referenced in the announcement, and they reinforce the idea that recovery is supported by ongoing services and community connections, not just initial treatment entry.
Administratively, RHOP is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-022) tied to CFDA 93.912. HRSA anticipated making around 12 awards under this announcement, with an original application closing date of July 21, 2017. The listing indicates an award ceiling of 0, which typically means the ceiling was not specified in the summarized data field rather than implying zero-dollar awards. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement materials. Overall, the opportunity is geared toward rural communities that can demonstrate strong multi-partner collaboration and a plan that combines outreach, education, care coordination, and recovery supports to reduce opioid overdose harms.Apply for HRSA 17 022
