Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "International Research Collaborations on HIV/AIDS and Drug Use (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DA-10-008) is a discretionary NIH grant announcement led by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). It is designed to support research that improves scientific and clinical understanding of how drug use intersects with HIV/AIDS. The scope is broad across biomedical and clinical science, epidemiology, prevention strategies, and treatment approaches, with a clear emphasis on HIV/AIDS that is associated with drug use. A central feature of this announcement is the requirement for international collaboration with a regional geographic focus, meaning projects are expected to leverage conditions outside the United States that provide unique scientific advantages, such as distinctive populations, local resources and infrastructure, specialized expertise, or environmental and social contexts that make certain research questions more feasible or more informative in a non-U.S. setting.
This opportunity uses the NIH R01 mechanism, which is the standard research project grant intended for well-defined, hypothesis-driven or problem-focused research programs. NIDA indicated it planned to commit up to $2.0 million total in fiscal year 2010 funding to make roughly 8 awards, depending on the quality and responsiveness of applications. For each individual award, direct costs were capped at $350,000 per year, and the maximum project period allowed was five years, which sets clear boundaries on both annual spending and overall duration. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was wide and included many types of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants listed in the announcement included state, county, city/township, and special district governments; tribal governments and tribal organizations (including both federally recognized and other-than-federally recognized tribal entities); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities); independent school districts; and additional categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, eligible federal agencies, and non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations). This broad eligibility aligns with the program goal of building strong international research partnerships and supporting work that depends on collaboration across borders.
Key dates and administrative details were also clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on May 28, 2009 (with a creation date of May 29, 2009). The original and current closing date was November 18, 2009, and the archive date was December 19, 2009, indicating the window for submission and the period after which the FOA was no longer active. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), and the funding activity category was listed under Education and Health, reflecting the public health and research training ecosystem NIH programs often support.
