The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is forecasting a federal grant opportunity titled "Rural Communities Opioid Response Program-Overdose Response," aimed at addressing the overdose crisis in rural areas. This program seeks to enhance access to, capacity for, and sustainability of prevention, treatment, and recovery services for substance use disorder (SUD) without any cost-sharing or matching requirements. The initiative is crucial for improving health outcomes in underserved communities, with an estimated total program funding of $6 million and an award ceiling of $300,000 for approximately 20 grants. Interested applicants, particularly small businesses, can reach out to Sarah O'Donnell at 301-443-0298 or via email at ruralopioidresponse@hrsa.gov for further information. The synopsis is expected to be posted on January 16, 2025, with applications closing on April 16, 2025, and project start dates anticipated for September 1, 2025.
