Opportunity Summary:
The Drug Abuse Dissertation Research (R36) opportunity, listed as Funding Opportunity Number PAR 13 182, is a discretionary grant program run by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support doctoral students conducting dissertation research focused on drug abuse and addiction. Its core purpose is straightforward: it invites applications specifically to fund drug abuse-related doctoral dissertation projects, helping students carry out the research needed to complete their PhD or equivalent doctoral degree requirements. The program falls under the broader federal research area for Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) and is categorized under education and health, reflecting its emphasis on training the next generation of researchers while advancing public health knowledge in substance use and addiction.
This award uses the grant funding instrument and does not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants are not expected to provide institutional or third-party matching dollars as a condition of receiving support. The FOA was posted and created on April 5, 2013, and remained open through its final closing date of May 7, 2016, after which it was archived on June 7, 2016. Even though the dates indicate the announcement is no longer active, the details are still useful as a reference point for understanding the structure and eligibility expectations typical of NIH dissertation-level funding mechanisms in this topic area.
Eligibility is centered on U.S.-based higher education institutions, including private universities, public and state-controlled universities, and other eligible applicants described in the announcement. The FOA explicitly includes a range of institution types that often have dedicated federal eligibility recognition, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). At the same time, it clearly restricts foreign involvement: non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) cannot apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed. In practical terms, the research and administrative home for the application must be domestic and compliant with NIH rules around foreign participation.
For applicants or institutions trying to locate the full original announcement, the FOA provided an NIH Grants Guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-182.html). Administrative and technical assistance for accessing or linking to the announcement was directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster via FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
