*Top Grant Picks *

*HRSA Evidence-Based Tele-Behavioral Health Network Program*
* (Deadline: June 25, 2018)*
The two-fold purpose of this program is to use telehealth networks to
increase access to behavioral health care services in rural and frontier
communities and to conduct evaluations of those efforts to establish an
evidence-base for assessing the effectiveness of tele-behavioral health
care for patients, providers, and payers. The range and use of telehealth
services have expanded over the past decades, along with the role of
technology in improving and coordinating care. Traditional models of
telehealth involve care delivered to a patient at an originating (or spoke)
site from a specialist working at a distant (or hub) site. A telehealth
network consists of a series of originating sites receiving services from a
collaborating distant site. For the purposes of this NOFO, telehealth is
defined as the use of electronic information and telecommunication
technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical health care,
patient and professional health-related education, public health and health
administration. Telehealth modalities to be used to support clinical
treatment may include video conferencing, the internet, store-and-forward
imaging, streaming media, and terrestrial and wireless communications. *LEARN

*AmerisourceBergen Foundation Opioid Resource Grant Program*
* (LOI Deadline: July 31, 2018)*
The foundation is inviting grant-funded nonprofit organizations to submit
proposals that describe how it can best contribute resources and funding to
address opioid abuse and misuse. Grants will be awarded for the most
innovative and constructive solutions in one of two key areas of focus:
safe disposal and education around prevention. Applicants are strongly
encouraged to identify and leverage existing, proven, evidence-based
frameworks and strategies, as well as existing tools and materials, but may
also propose original and innovative projects. Applications focused on
education may address a spectrum of needs, but priority will be given to
the effective dissemination of the following topics: provider education
about appropriate opioid prescribing; patient education about the risks and
effects of prescription opioids, and what to do if they have concerns about
addiction; public education, especially aimed at rural communities;
training to reduce youth risk factors (such as delinquency) and boost
protective factors (such as decision-making skills for problem solving and
resisting peer pressure; addiction as a childhood onset condition;
preventing teens from initiating problematic opioid use in the first place;
advising parents of teens to lock up prescription opioid medications and
dispose of old pills; and how youth can effectively cope when living with
adults with addiction. Although not required, the foundation encourages
multiple organizations to develop a collective, collaborative partner
submission. Awards will not exceed $100,000. *LEARN MORE*

*ACL Innovations in Nutrition Programs and Services*
* (Deadline: August 7, 2018)*
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to increase the evidenced based
knowledge base of nutrition providers, drive improved health outcomes for
program recipients by promoting higher service quality, and increase
program efficiency through innovative nutrition service delivery models.
Funding will support innovative and promising practices that move the aging
network towards evidenced based practices that enhance the quality,
effectiveness of nutrition services programs or outcomes within the aging
services network. Innovation can include service products that appeal to
caregivers (such as web-based ordering systems and carryout food products),
increased involvement of volunteers (such as retired chefs), consideration
of eating habits and choice (such as variable meal times, salad bars, or
more fresh fruits and vegetables), new service models (testing variations
and hybrid strategies) and other innovations to better serve a generation
of consumers whose needs and preferences are different. Innovation and
promising practices may include the testing and publishing of positive
outcomes in which nutrition programs provide a meaningful role in support
of the health and long-term care of older individuals. Outcomes should
focus on methods to improve collaboration with local health care entities,
decrease health care costs for a specific population or decrease the
incidence of the need for institutionalization among older adults. Through
this program, funds may be used to help develop and test additional models
or to replicate models that have already been tested in other
community-based settings. *LEARN MORE*

*NIH Improving the Reach and Quality of Cancer Care in Rural Populations
(R01)*
* (Deadline: September 19, 2018)*
The purpose of this FOA is to reduce the burden of cancer and improve the
quality of cancer care in rural areas among low-income and/or underserved
populations. The FOA encourages two types of applications: 1) observational
research that includes pilot testing of intervention to understand and
address predictors of cancer care/treatment and outcomes in rural
low-income and/or underserved populations; or 2) intervention research to
address known predictors of cancer care/treatment and outcomes in rural
low-income and/or underserved populations. Specifically, the focus for
observational studies (with pilot testing) is understanding and addressing
the predictive and/or mediating role of social determinants of health,
barriers to care, and treatment; and the focus for interventional research
is on addressing quality of care related to cancer diagnosis, treatment
and/or survivorship. Most existing cancer control interventions are not
ready for direct implementation and dissemination in low-income rural
areas, so proposals should seek to develop, adapt, and/or implement, and
test interventions. *LEARN MORE*
