Opportunity Summary:
The Epidemiology of Drug Abuse (R03) funding opportunity (PA 15 002) is an NIH discretionary grant designed to support small, focused research projects that strengthen what is known about drug use, drug abuse, and addiction from an epidemiology perspective. The core aim is to improve understanding of how drug-related behaviors and disorders develop and spread across different groups and settings, including individuals, families, communities, and diverse populations. The announcement emphasizes a broad view of epidemiology, encouraging studies that look not only at how common substance use and substance use disorders are, but also why they occur, what factors shape risk and protection, what other health conditions tend to co-occur (comorbidities), and what the short- and long-term consequences are for health and functioning.
A major theme is moving beyond single-factor explanations and instead studying multiple levels of influence at the same time. Projects are encouraged to integrate biological, developmental, environmental, and social drivers of drug use and addiction, including the interplay between genetic factors and life experiences, and how social environments connect to health outcomes and disease patterns. The FOA specifically highlights interest in applications that use novel or improved methods and approaches, and in work that leverages existing investments made by NIH and other HHS agencies. In practice, this means applicants are strongly nudged to make smart use of existing epidemiologic datasets, cohorts, surveillance systems, or linked administrative and health data when appropriate, with the goal of producing findings that can more directly inform prevention strategies and treatment programs at the public health level.
The grant mechanism is an R03, which is typically used for smaller, tightly scoped projects such as pilot studies, secondary data analyses, feasibility work, or projects that test new analytic approaches that can later be expanded. For this opportunity, the award ceiling is listed as 100,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Health and the CFDA program is 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and international organizations. Eligible applicants include federal, state, county, city, township, and special district governments; public housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities); Native American tribal governments (federally recognized and other than federally recognized) and tribally controlled institutions; and a range of mission-focused institutions such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISISs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. Foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed as defined by NIH policy.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of October 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2017, and an archive date of October 8, 2017. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants website (PA 15 002), and NIH provided an OER webmaster contact for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
