The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) - Northern Border Rural Workforce (Northern Border) will improve health care within the rural service area by enhancing behavioral health workforce capacity.
The program will serve people and families in the northern border rural service areas of Maine, New York, New Hampshire or Vermont affected by SUD.
FY2025 RCORP-Northern Border Rural Workforce Awards
How much funding will grantees receive?
The project lasts four years. Each year, award recipients receive up to $400,000. They use it to meet three main goals:
- Training: Form a network of local organizations to develop and implement innovative, evidence-based training programs focused on addressing the rural behavioral health workforce needs in rural northern border areas.
- Placement: Ensure that individuals completing RCORP-Northern Border funded training are placed and retained in supportive, well-compensated employment within the target rural service area, where they can utilize their behavioral health training and have opportunities for continued growth.
- Sustainability: Develop innovative, multi-sectoral approaches to ensure the continued availability of RCORP-Northern Border supported services in the target rural service area post federal funding.
