Description

The NIDA Translational Avant-Garde Award is designed to support dedicated and talented basic and/or clinical researchers with the vision, drive and expertise necessary to translate research discoveries into medications for the treatment of Substance-Use Disorders (SUDs). Through this FOA, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is committed to advancing the development of safe and efficacious medications for the treatment of SUDs stemming from tobacco, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, or prescription opiate use. Medications can be either small molecules or biologics. Biologics include vaccines and recombinant therapeutic proteins created by biological processes. Applications may focus on the treatment of substance use (i.e., abuse or dependence) disorders and specific clinical manifestations of these disorders such as withdrawal, craving, or relapse.Applications that focus on the development of new formulations of marketed medications that are available for other indications, or new combinations of existing medications that hold promise for the treatment of SUDs, are also within the scope of this RFA.
