Opportunity Summary:
The AIDS Science Track Award for Research Transition (A START) (R03) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity administered through the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to help bring newly independent and early career investigators into HIV/AIDS research specifically connected to drug abuse. The program is designed to support small, focused research projects that can be completed relatively quickly and with limited resources, making it a practical entry point for investigators who are establishing themselves in this research area or pivoting their work toward drug abuse and HIV/AIDS. NIDA welcomes applications across the full range of HIV/AIDS topics that the institute supports, as long as the proposed work is clearly aligned with the intersection of substance use, addiction, and HIV/AIDS.
This opportunity uses the NIH Small Research Grant mechanism (R03), which typically funds discrete projects that generate preliminary data, test feasibility, develop or refine methods, or explore new directions that could later grow into larger research programs. The listed award ceiling for this FOA is $200,000, and the announcement specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. As a discretionary grant program in the education and health activity categories (CFDA 93.279, Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), it is aimed at advancing the science base around HIV/AIDS in the context of drug use, including prevention, treatment, behavioral and social science, epidemiology, implementation, and other relevant areas supported by NIDA.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic U.S. organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as state, local, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes a wide range of mission-relevant institutions and entities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) may apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed, consistent with NIH policy.
Key administrative details from the archived announcement include Funding Opportunity Number PA-12-282, with an original posted/created date of September 10, 2012.
