Eligible applicants include domestic public or private entities—both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations, higher education institutions, small businesses, and for-profit organizations. "Domestic" encompasses the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Republic of Palau.

Program objectives prioritize strengthening and expanding access to behavioral health care services across the care continuum for rural youth and adolescents at risk for or diagnosed with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders. Evaluation criteria encompass project need, innovation, realistic and measurable goals and objectives, clearly defined roles of network members, management plan strength, community involvement, local commitment level, costs, and program evaluation plans. Specific criteria appear in the individual NOFO guidance. Objective review committees assess all qualified applications; HRSA program officials with delegated authority make final funding decisions and issue written Notices of Award.
