The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) plans to invest approximately $20 million through the AMF program to increase access to board certified addiction professionals who are practicing in underserved, community-based settings that integrate behavioral health with primary care services.
You can review the AMF funding opportunity at: https://bhw.hrsa.gov/grants/medicine/addiction.
HRSA plans to fund an estimated 25 eligible grantees. AMF award recipients will receive up to $800,000 annually over a five-year period of performance to foster robust community-based clinical training of addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry physicians to provide opioid and other substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery services.
Eligible applicants include sponsoring institutions of accredited addiction medicine or accredited addiction psychiatry fellowship programs. A consortium consisting of at least one teaching health center and one sponsoring institution of an addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry fellowship program is also eligible to apply.
HRSA will hold a webinar for AMF Program applicants on Friday, December 6, 2019 from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., EST. A recording of the webinar will be available for those who cannot attend.
