  1.  HRSA Rural Community Outreach Funding Opportunity.  There is an open funding opportunity or "community-based grant initiative" from the HRSA Rural Health Care Services Outreach Program.  It is a good opportunity for rural grantees who want more funds for tobacco use screening and treatment in clinical settings.   For more information see notice of funding opportunity here: https://www.hrsa.gov/grants/find-funding/hrsa-21-027

  1.  UPDATE: CAREAssist  will directly provide NRT to people with HIV/AIDS. The Oregon Tobacco Quit Line will no longer provide the expanded services to this population.  After 15 years, Oregon CAREAssist has decided to end its partnership with the Oregon Tobacco Quit Line for expanded services for clients with HIV/AIDS. CAREAssist now directly provides additional NRT, other FDA-approved medications, and copay/deductible assistance for behavioral counseling that primary insurance allows. This makes the Quit Line services redundant. Callers to the Quit Line who have CAREAssist benefits will still be able to enroll in the one-call program.  See the updated, attached OTQL Fact Sheet.
