Rural Mental Health Resources
Grant applications for extending medical care to underserved regions and
research on medical shortages in rural areas are available through many
government Web sites, including several associated with the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA).
These include links to the Office of Rural Health Policy, which provides
funding for medical initiatives (including mental health and substance abuse
initiatives) in rural areas. More information about the grants is posted at
<ruralhealth.hrsa.gov/funding/GrantPrograms.htm>.
HRSA also has a one-year research program to disseminate findings from
studies of rural health services, with information posted at
<ruralhealth.hrsa.gov/policy/RHRC/rhrccoop.htm>.

In addition, APA has an online clearinghouse of information on psychiatric
services in underserved areas (see New APA Resource Addresses Psychiatry in
Underserved Areas).
