Opportunity Summary:
The Neuroscience Research on Drug Abuse (R01) funding opportunity (PA 07 226) is a National Institutes of Health program announcement led by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) that supports research aimed at explaining how drug abuse and addiction develop and persist at the level of brain and behavior. The central focus is on neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience studies that clarify the processes and mechanisms involved in drug use, progression to dependence and addiction, withdrawal, and treatment response. Proposed projects can use a wide range of approaches and experimental systems, including cellular or molecular model systems, animal studies, and human research, as long as the work is clearly relevant to understanding drug abuse and addiction.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is generally intended for more mature, hypothesis-driven projects with a well-developed research plan and sufficient preliminary rationale. NIDA notes that this FOA runs in parallel with companion announcements of the same scientific scope that use different grant mechanisms: an R03 (PA 07 228) for smaller, limited-scope projects and an R21 (PA 07 227) for exploratory or developmental work. In addition, similar or overlapping scientific topics may also be proposed under the Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15) mechanism, which is designed to support research at institutions that have not historically received substantial NIH research funding.
Funding levels and the number of awards are not preset. Instead, NIDA indicates that award size and project duration will vary depending on the nature and scope of the proposed work, and that the total amount funded and the number of grants made will ultimately depend on the number of applications received, their scientific quality, requested budgets, and project periods. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and international applicants. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education as specified), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), independent school districts, and a range of government entities such as state, county, city or township, and special district governments. The announcement also allows applications from federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Foreign institutions are explicitly eligible, and eligible federal agencies may apply as well. Faith-based and community-based organizations are also included as eligible applicants.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on February 21, 2007, with multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, meaning applications could be submitted on recurring standard NIH due dates during the active period of the announcement. The original and current closing information both indicate multiple receipt dates with details provided in the full announcement. The program is now archived (archive date June 1, 2010), but the listing remains useful for understanding the program scope and how NIDA structured its neuroscience-focused addiction research solicitations. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants site, and NIH provided standard contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Neuroscience Research on Drug Abuse (R01) (PA 07-226) is an NIH program announcement led by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). It supports research that explains how drug abuse and addiction develop and persist at the level of brain and behavior, with a central focus on neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience.
Which NIH Institute leads this program announcement?
The opportunity is led by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
What scientific focus does this program emphasize?
The central emphasis is on neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience research aimed at clarifying processes and mechanisms involved in drug use and addiction, including how drug abuse begins, progresses, and persists.
What stages of addiction-related biology and behavior are within scope?
The announcement highlights research relevant to drug use, progression to dependence and addiction, withdrawal, and treatment response, as long as the work is clearly relevant to understanding drug abuse and addiction.
What types of studies and approaches are allowed?
A wide range of approaches and experimental systems are allowed, including cellular or molecular model systems, animal studies, and human research. The key requirement is that the project is clearly relevant to understanding drug abuse and addiction.
What funding mechanism is used?
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism.
What kinds of projects are typically suited to the R01 mechanism?
The R01 mechanism is generally intended for more mature, hypothesis-driven projects with a well-developed research plan and sufficient preliminary rationale.
Are there related announcements with the same scientific scope but different grant mechanisms?
Yes. NIDA noted that this FOA ran in parallel with companion announcements of the same scientific scope that used different mechanisms: an R03 (PA 07-228) for smaller, limited-scope projects and an R21 (PA 07-227) for exploratory or developmental work.
What is the difference between this R01 and the companion R03 and R21 announcements (based on the listing)?
Based on the provided information: the R01 is for more mature, hypothesis-driven projects; the R03 is for smaller, limited-scope projects; and the R21 is for exploratory or developmental research. The underlying scientific scope is described as the same across these companion announcements.
Can similar topics be proposed under any other NIH mechanism?
Yes. Similar or overlapping topics may also be proposed under the Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15) mechanism, which is designed to support research at institutions that have not historically received substantial NIH research funding.
Is the number of awards predetermined?
No. Funding levels and the number of awards are not preset. NIDA indicated that award size and project duration would vary based on the nature and scope of the proposed work.
How does NIDA decide how many projects to fund and at what levels?
