Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Drug Abuse Dissertation Research Epidemiology, Prevention, Treatment, Services, and/or Women and Sex/Gender Differences (R36), is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary funding program designed specifically to support doctoral dissertation research focused on drug abuse. It is aimed at helping doctoral candidates carry out research that contributes to the understanding of substance use and related problems through the lenses of epidemiology, prevention, treatment, health services, and research that examines women and sex/gender differences. In practical terms, the program is meant to provide targeted dissertation-stage funding so a student can complete a clearly defined research project that fits within these topical areas and advances scientific knowledge relevant to drug abuse and addiction.
The funding mechanism used is the NIH Dissertation Award (R36). This mechanism is generally structured to support the dissertation research itself rather than broader multi-year research programs, and it is positioned as a training-focused award that helps a doctoral student complete a meritorious research study as part of their degree requirements. The announcement points applicants to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Research Training Opportunities website for additional context on training-related pathways and resources connected to NIDA, which is the NIH institute most closely aligned with drug abuse and addiction research.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, specifically private institutions of higher education and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants are not expected to provide institutional or third-party financial contributions as a condition of receiving an award. The program falls under the broader category of Education and Health funding activity and is associated with CFDA number 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), which is the catalog identifier used for federal assistance tracking in this area.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $50,000. The announcement also emphasizes that awards depend on the availability of federal funds and on the quality and competitiveness of the applications received, meaning there is no guaranteed number of awards. The government will only make awards if there is sufficient funding and if enough applications meet the standard of merit expected under NIH review. This is a common structure for NIH opportunities, where the pool of applications is peer reviewed and funding decisions are made based on scientific merit, program priorities, and available appropriations.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number PAR 10-020 and a posting date of November 4, 2009. The record shows an original closing date of January 7, 2013, with a listed current closing date of May 7, 2013, and an archive date of June 7, 2013, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and has been archived as a historical funding announcement. Applicants looking for a current version of this program would typically need to check NIH or NIDA listings for the most up-to-date R36 or dissertation-related funding announcements, since archived FOAs are not open for new submissions.
For access and technical help, the announcement includes contact guidance through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster, particularly for applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement online or have issues with links. The full FOA was hosted on the NIH Grants Guide website, and the additional information link provided directs readers to the official NIH page for PAR 10-020.
