Funding Opportunity PAR-22-133 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide support for research Centers that (1) conduct drug abuse and addiction research in any area of NIDAs mission, (2) have outstanding innovative science, (3) are multidisciplinary, thematically integrated, synergistic, and (4) serve as national resource(s) to provide educational and outreach activities to drug abuse research communities, educational organizations, the general public, and policy makers in the NIDA research fields. It is expected that a Center will transform knowledge in the sciences it is studying. Incremental work should not be the focus of Center activities; rather, new and creative directions are required. The P50 Center of Excellence is expected to foster the career development and mentoring of new investigators who would be given meaningful roles to play in the Center projects. A goal of this program is to create NIDA Centers that are national community resources for furthering drug abuse research by sharing their findings, their data, and their resources as appropriate for researchers to use and build upon and to advance research in this field.

Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-23-009 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. oThis initiative will fund exploratory or pilot research projects to test interventions that address social connectedness and/or loneliness in order to prevent or treat SUDs or enhance recovery for individuals with SUDs. Interventions funded through this initiative should build on foundational, epidemiologic research on social connectedness and loneliness, and help contribute to a more unified theory about the role of loneliness and social connectedness in substance use and SUDs. Interventions could be delivered at the individual, dyadic, family or community level, and could include telehealth platforms. Community level interventions that focus on structural/environmental changes would be encouraged as a way of addressing social determinants of health. Such interventions could be implemented in a range of settings, including workplace, social media/online, educational, housing, and recovery centers, among others. Ultimately, the goal is to produce user-centered research that provides practical, cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable solutions to addressing substance use and addiction.

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-22-200 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative seeks to foster research targeting the reduction and elimination of mental health disparities by racial and ethnic groups, geographical settings, and socioeconomic status in the United States. It solicits research projects using the R01 mechanism to aggregate and examine existing data sets to increase understanding of mental health disparities and how to intervene to reduce mental health disparities and achieve mental health equity across the lifespan. This includes examining: 1) factors that contribute to, exacerbate and reduce disparities at multiple levels (e.g., policy, community, school, family, individual) at different developmental stages; 2) etiology and trajectories; and 3) prevention and treatment interventions and services and their implementation and dissemination. NIH-designated U.S. health disparity populations include Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, underserved rural populations, and sexual and gender minorities (NOT-OD-15-089).

Funding Opportunity PAR-22-104 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is a reissue due to an omission of TRAINING RECORD review questions in Section V. This FOA encourages applications for the Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan: Fogarty International Research Training Award (NCD-LIFESPAN) D43 program for institutional research training programs in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs, as defined by the World Bank classification system). Applications may be for collaborations between institutions in the U.S and an eligible LMIC or may involve just LMIC institutions if there is a previous track record of externally funded research and/or research training programs by the lead LMIC institution. The proposed institutional research training program is expected to sustainably strengthen the NCD research capacity of the LMIC institutions, and to train in-country experts to develop and conduct research on NCDs across the lifespan, with the long-range goal of developing and implementing evidence-based interventions relevant to their countries. The main focus of research training covered in the application must be relevant to the interests of at least one of the participating NIH ICs as stated by each in this FOA. Other NCD topics may be included as secondary and complementary focus areas. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) allows support of trainees as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial; or to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, as part of their research and career development.
