Opportunity Summary:
The International Research Collaboration on Drug Abuse and Addiction Research (R01) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 15 142) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Funding Opportunity Announcement designed to support collaborative, international research projects that advance the mission of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The central idea is to fund R01 research grants that meaningfully benefit from working outside the United States, especially when a project can move faster or become more scientifically powerful because of unique advantages available in another country. Those advantages might include access to specialized scientific expertise, distinctive research infrastructure or datasets, particular patient or community populations that are difficult to study in the U.S., or environmental, cultural, or policy conditions that create rare natural experiments. The goal is not international work for its own sake, but international collaboration that clearly strengthens the science and accelerates discovery in drug abuse and addiction research.
Projects are expected to be aligned with NIDA priorities and, when feasible, to address NIDA international scientific priority areas. These priority areas are updated over time, but the FY2015 examples highlighted in the announcement show the kinds of topics NIDA was especially interested in supporting through international partnerships. They include research on the connections between HIV/AIDS and drug abuse (including prevention, initiation, and treatment), work focused on nicotine and tobacco use initiation and treatment with special attention to vulnerable populations (such as children, adolescents, pregnant women, and people with co-occurring disorders), and research on the neuroscience of marijuana and cannabinoids. The FOA also emphasizes studying how changes in marijuana laws and policies affect use patterns and related health and social outcomes, which is an area where international comparisons and differing legal environments can create valuable opportunities for stronger evidence.
This opportunity uses the R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for full-scale, hypothesis-driven research projects with well-developed aims, methods, and collaborative plans. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed under education and health, consistent with NIH biomedical and behavioral research support. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, reflecting the international collaboration focus. Eligible applicants listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with the exception noted for institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), and multiple levels of government such as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. Specialized public entities such as special district governments and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities are also included, along with independent school districts. The FOA also specifies additional eligible applicants such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Faith-based and community-based organizations are included as eligible, as are eligible federal agencies. Importantly for an international program, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) and regional organizations are explicitly eligible, along with U.S. territories or possessions and certain tribal entities and organizations.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on March 17, 2015, with an original closing date of May 7, 2018, and the current closing date also listed as May 7, 2018. The archive date is June 7, 2018, indicating that this particular FOA is no longer active for new submissions under that announcement after archiving. Applicants looking for the complete official announcement language, application instructions, and any NIH-specific requirements were directed to the full FOA text at the NIH grants guide page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-142.html). For technical issues accessing the announcement or resolving link problems, the contact provided is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, this FOA can be understood as an NIH/NIDA effort to leverage global scientific settings to answer high-impact questions in addiction science, particularly where international contexts provide clearer comparisons, stronger designs, or otherwise unavailable research conditions. The emphasis is on genuine collaboration and on using international advantages to produce findings that improve understanding, prevention, and treatment of drug abuse and addiction, while also addressing evolving public health challenges such as HIV comorbidity, tobacco and nicotine use among vulnerable groups, and the rapidly changing marijuana policy landscape.
