Opportunity Summary:
The Diversity Promoting Institutions Drug Abuse Research Program (DIDARP) (R24) is a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to strengthen drug abuse and addiction research capacity at institutions that historically and/or currently educate students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds. The core idea is not simply to fund a single study, but to help eligible institutions build a stronger, more sustainable research environment in substance use and addiction science. Through this program, NIDA is seeking proposals that both expand institutional research infrastructure and actively develop a pipeline of researchers by supporting the career development of faculty, students, and staff who are underrepresented in drug abuse research.
This opportunity uses the NIH R24 mechanism, which is typically intended for resource-related or infrastructure-building projects that enhance an institution or community of researchers rather than supporting only a narrow hypothesis-driven project. In practice, applications are expected to describe a structured plan for increasing the institution's overall ability to conduct competitive drug abuse and addiction research. That can include developing research cores or shared resources, strengthening mentorship and training structures, improving research administration capacity, supporting pilot projects that position investigators for future independent NIH funding, and creating programs that recruit, retain, and advance diverse investigators in the field. A major emphasis is on fostering research career development, meaning the proposal should lay out concrete activities that build skills, mentorship networks, research experience, and progression toward independent research trajectories for participants.
Funding under this FOA is available at up to $350,000 per year in direct costs. The anticipated number of awards is not fixed; it depends on the volume of applications received and, most importantly, their scientific and programmatic merit. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which can make participation more feasible for institutions with limited discretionary resources.
Eligibility is geared toward higher education institutions, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligibility explicitly including institutions that serve populations underrepresented in biomedical research. Examples listed include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. The eligibility framing reflects the program's intent: to build and expand research programs where they can have a direct impact on diversifying the drug abuse and addiction research workforce and improving institutional competitiveness in this research area.
Administrative details in the source information indicate the opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs) and was posted December 3, 2008 under Funding Opportunity Number PAR-09-011. The record also shows key dates including an original closing date of July 15, 2011, a current closing date of April 8, 2010, and an archive date of May 8, 2010, suggesting the announcement is no longer active and has been archived.

Contact support for access or technical linking issues is routed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster email addresses provided in the notice.
In short, DIDARP (R24) is a capacity-building grant opportunity aimed at institutions serving diverse and disadvantaged student populations, with the goal of expanding drug abuse and addiction research infrastructure and cultivating a stronger, more diverse group of researchers through intentional career development and institutional enhancement activities.
