Dear AZ RHTP Stakeholders,

The Arizona Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) would like to announce the official release of the Request for Grant Applications for the Opioid Antagonist Distribution Initiative. Please see the details below.

Opioid Antagonist Distribution Initiative RFGA is now LIVE!

AHCCCS posted the Opioid Antagonist Distribution Initiative RFGA. The publication of this solicitation was delayed due to a technical issue affecting our grant management system. The issue has been resolved. Applicants can find the application and associated attachments at: Euna Grants - Grants Network

AHCCCS will issue a follow-up notification for each RFGA once live. That notification will include instructions for accessing the application materials and submitting questions during the open application period.
