Purpose

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program – Planning (RCORP – Planning) offers grants to support planning and preparation activities to create a strong base for substance use disorder (SUD) and related services and build capacity to develop, implement, and sustain these services. The funding is designed to serve as a critical first step to creating SUD service systems that make care easy to access, strengthen the behavioral health workforce, gain strong community buy-in, and prepare communities to deliver prevention, treatment, recovery, and other supportive services over the long term.

Program objectives:

  1. Build relationships with network partners and community members
  2. Assess local SUD-related needs and assets and develop a multi-stakeholder action plan to fill gaps
  3. Prepare rural providers, service organizations, and other key stakeholders for SUD service delivery

Detailed activities and potential expectations under each objective are listed in the application instructions.
