Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 064
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Behavioral Health Care Technical Assistance (RCORP-BHCTA) is a federal grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee is expected to work closely with HRSA and carry out a defined technical assistance role that supports broader program goals. The central aim is to strengthen rural organizations by giving them practical, hands-on technical assistance so they can build and run strong multi-sector consortia. These consortia are meant to plan, implement, and sustain efforts that improve both access to and quality of behavioral health care in rural areas, with a strong emphasis on substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD) prevention, treatment, and recovery services.
At its core, this opportunity is about improving how behavioral health services are delivered in rural communities. HRSA frames service improvement as increasing access to and actual use of prevention, treatment, and recovery supports for people affected by behavioral health conditions, including mental health disorders and substance use disorders. The notice highlights evidence-based prevention as a particularly important lever in rural settings: prevention can reduce strain on small or overstretched rural health systems and can be a cost-effective way to reduce both individual harm and wider community costs tied to behavioral health disorders. In other words, the technical assistance is not limited to treatment capacity alone; it is intended to help rural communities put balanced systems in place that include upstream prevention as well as downstream treatment and recovery supports.
RCORP-BHCTA also continues and expands work that began in 2018 under the larger Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP). RCORP is described as a multi-year HRSA initiative focused on reducing illness and death associated with substance use disorders, including OUD, in high-risk rural communities. The technical assistance awardee funded under this opportunity is expected to support current RCORP grant recipients, future RCORP recipients, and potentially additional rural organizations that are not part of RCORP, if HRSA determines they should receive support. That structure makes this award a kind of national-level capacity builder: one recipient is selected to provide guidance, resources, and implementation support across a network of rural communities and programs.
Key administrative details help clarify the scope and competitiveness of the opportunity. The funding opportunity title is "Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Behavioral Health Care Technical Assistance" with funding opportunity number HRSA-22-064. It falls under the discretionary funding category and the health funding activity category, and it is tied to CFDA number 93.912. HRSA anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of up to $10,000,000, which signals a large, centralized technical assistance effort rather than multiple smaller direct-service grants. The opportunity was created on December 8, 2021, and the original application closing date was March 9, 2022.
Eligibility, as listed, includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, along with additional eligible applicants described in the full announcement under the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. Overall, the opportunity is designed for an entity capable of delivering high-quality technical assistance at scale, helping rural communities form effective partnerships across sectors and build sustainable behavioral health systems that integrate prevention, treatment, and recovery to address SUD/OUD and related mental health needs.
