Description

Purpose. This FOA encourages exploratory/developmental grant applications to develop collaborations integrating developmental neuroscience and adolescent drug abuse treatment. The primary goal of this announcement is to facilitate translational research that ultimately integrates findings from research on brain development, cognition and neuroscience into the development of innovative and effective, developmentally sensitive drug abuse treatments for adolescents. The grants awarded under this program will allow investigative teams exploratory and planning resources to develop translational research proposals for subsequent R01 grant application. This may include preliminary studies, scientific workshops, specialized training in research methodologies and other collaborative activities to foster multidisciplinary and/or multi-site translational research approaches to adolescent drug abuse treatment. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R21 grant mechanism, as The National Institute on Drug Abuse recognizes the exploratory and developmental nature of this research. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount of funding that the NIDA expects to award through this announcement is $1,500,000 for an anticipated 3-4 awards.
