Epidemiology Of Drug Abuse (R01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Epidemiology of Drug Abuse (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-08-124) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement designed to support full-scale research projects that strengthen and broaden epidemiologic research on drug abuse. The central aim is to deepen understanding of the nature and extent of drug abuse, the consequences associated with it, and the underlying causes and pathways (etiology) that contribute to initiation, progression, and outcomes. The announcement emphasizes epidemiology as a tool for studying drug abuse across many levels of influence, including individuals, families, different age groups, gender, communities, and diverse population groups, with an overall goal of improving the evidence base for prevention, intervention, and public health responses.

This program uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which generally supports mature, hypothesis-driven or well-justified research programs that require substantial time, resources, and scientific scope. The FOA notes that it runs in parallel with two companion announcements that cover the same scientific territory but use smaller or more exploratory grant mechanisms: the R21 and R03 (PA-08-125 and PA-08-126). In practice, this means applicants are expected to match the size and readiness of their project to the appropriate mechanism, with the R01 being the fit for projects that are more developed and comprehensive.

Funding decisions under this FOA are contingent on the availability of federal funds and the receipt of enough high-quality, competitive applications. In other words, there is no guaranteed number of awards or guaranteed funding level described here; awards depend both on the NIH budget environment and on the merit of the submitted proposals relative to others in the review process. The announcement also specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that might conduct epidemiologic drug abuse research. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), and multiple levels of government entities (state, county, city or township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities). The eligibility list also explicitly includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations, as well as a range of mission-focused institutions and community-serving entities. Examples of additional eligible applicants called out in the notice include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territory or possession agencies, eligible federal agencies, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations), reflecting NIH interest in strong science regardless of institutional type and, in some cases, geography.

Key administrative details included in the listing are that it is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity within the education and health funding activity area, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). The FOA was posted on March 28, 2008, and the original as well as final closing date listed is May 7, 2011, with an archive date of June 7, 2011, indicating this specific announcement is no longer active but remains part of the historical record for reference. Applicants or readers who have trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster, and the full details were provided through the NIH grants webpage for PA-08-124.
