Purpose. The purpose of this FOA is to foster the development of novel pharmacological strategies for the treatment of pregnant/postpartum women with Substance Related Disorders (SRDs) and/or in utero substance exposed neonates. To that end, this FOA issued by NIDA, National Institutes of Health, will encourage applications to implement preclinical and clinical research directed towards: 1) the identification, evaluation, and development of safe and effective novel pharmacotherapies (e.g., new chemical entities or immunotherapies) for the treatment of pregnant/postpartum women with SRDs and/or in utero substance exposed neonates, and/or 2) the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of FDA approved medications (e.g., medications approved for a different indication) for the treatment of pregnant/postpartum women with SRDs and/or in utero substance exposed neonates. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-09-106 that encourages applications under the Research Project Grant (R01).
