The Substance Abuse Treatment Telehealth Network Grant Program provides funding to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can improve access to healthcare services, particularly substance abuse treatment services, in rural, frontier, and underserved communities.
The primary purpose of the program is to support tele-substance abuse treatment and other behavioral healthcare services with a secondary focus on providing services to address common chronic disease conditions. The secondary focus will allow successful award recipients to use telehealth technologies to address a broader range of comorbid healthcare needs and ensure that they are optimizing the telehealth investment in addition to meeting the primary goal of providing substance abuse treatment and other behavioral health services.
Applicants should have a successful track record in implementing telehealth technology and have a network of partners in place and committed to the project as of the date of application.
Eligible applicants include rural or urban nonprofit entities that provide services through a telehealth network. Each entity participating in the applicant's network may be a nonprofit or for-profit entity. Faith-based, community-based, tribes, and tribal organizations are eligible to apply. Services must be provided to rural areas, although the applicant can be located in an urban area.
Current and former OAT Telehealth Network Grant recipients are eligible to apply for funds through this notice but must propose a project that differs in sites, services, and concept from the previously funded project.
