Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Collaborative Clinical Trials in Drug Abuse (Collaborative R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 10-099) is a National Institutes of Health program administered through the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Its central goal is to push clinical drug abuse research beyond what a single research site or one investigative team can realistically accomplish on its own. The emphasis is on building genuine, multi-site collaboration among different clinical research groups so investigators can jointly run clinical trials that need larger pools of participants, broader recruitment reach, or more diverse settings than any one location could feasibly provide.
At the core of this opportunity is the idea that certain questions in drug abuse and addiction research cannot be answered well without scale. Some outcome measures are uncommon, require long follow-up, or show meaningful effects only when sample sizes are large. Likewise, some patient populations can be difficult to recruit in sufficient numbers at a single institution, such as specialized subgroups, co-morbid populations, or participants meeting narrower eligibility criteria. This funding announcement is designed to make those kinds of studies more practical by encouraging trials that are planned from the start as collaborative efforts across multiple clinical sites or research networks.
The mechanism of support is the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), which generally supports discrete, specified projects led by investigators proposing a defined research plan. In this context, the R01 mechanism is used to fund collaborative clinical trials focused on drug abuse and addiction, with the expectation that investigators will coordinate protocol design, recruitment, data collection, and outcome evaluation across participating groups. While the announcement does not spell out a fixed budget amount or a guaranteed number of awards, it makes clear that awards depend on two things: the availability of federal funds and the submission of enough high-quality, competitive applications. In other words, funding is not automatic; proposals must be strong and the institute must have money available in the relevant funding year.
This is a discretionary grant program in the education and health activity area, tied to CFDA number 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity was posted on March 8, 2010, with an original and final closing date listed as May 7, 2013, and an archive date of June 7, 2013, indicating the announcement is no longer open for new submissions under that specific solicitation.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly participate in NIH research, spanning public and private higher education institutions, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government bodies such as state, county, city/township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. It also explicitly includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and additional categories such as faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). Federal agencies are also listed among eligible applicants. The broad eligibility reflects the reality that effective multi-site clinical trial collaboration can involve academic medical centers, community clinics, tribal health organizations, public health systems, and other research-capable partners.

What kinds of studies is this opportunity designed to support?
It is designed to support collaborative, multi-site clinical trials in drug abuse and addiction research, especially those that need scale to answer research questions effectively (for example, trials requiring large sample sizes, long follow-up, uncommon outcome measures, or recruitment of hard-to-enroll populations).
Why does this opportunity emphasize multi-site collaboration?
Some scientific questions in drug abuse and addiction cannot be answered well without scale.
