Program Activities
New NIDA PAs and RFAs
On June 9, 2005, NIDA issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Drug Abuse Prevention Intervention Research (PA-05-118). The goals of this PA are to encourage investigations of cognitive, behavioral, and social processes as they relate to: 1) the development of novel drug abuse prevention approaches; 2) the efficacy and effectiveness of newly developed and/or modified prevention programs; 3) the processes associated with the selection, adoption, adaptation, implementation, sustainability, and financing of empirically validated interventions; and 4) methodologies appropriate for studying complex aspects of prevention science.
In July 2005, NIDA reissued the Program Announcement entitled Science Education Drug Abuse Partnership Award (PA-05-105). This PA supports the development and evaluation of innovative model programs and materials for enhancing knowledge and understanding of neuroscience and the biology of drug abuse and addiction among K-12 students, the general public, health care practitioners, and other groups. The award provides support for the formation of partnerships between scientists and educators, media experts, community leaders, and other interested organizations for the development and evaluation of programs and materials that will enhance knowledge and understanding of science related to drug abuse. The program contact is Dr. Cathrine Sasek, OSPC.
On August 19, 2005, NIDA issued a new RFA entitled Pilot Clinical Trials of Pharmacotherapies for Substance Related Disorders (RFA-DA-06-002). The purpose of this RFA is to support pilot clinical studies of medications for investigation as possible treatments for substance related disorders. Because the purpose of this initiative is to support pilot studies in this area, preliminary studies are not required.
PAs and RFAs Issued With Other NIH Components/Agencies
On May 18, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with NIAAA, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Economics of Prevention and Treatment Services for Drug and Alcohol Abuse (PA-05-111).

The program should include laboratory and didactic experiences to improve the knowledge and skills of biomedical researchers, and to enable them to maintain, characterize and utilize hESC lines in basic research projects.
On July 14, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with NIAAA, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Health Services Research on the Prevention and Treatment of Drug and Alcohol Abuse (PA-05-139). This PA solicits health services research on the prevention and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse. Proposed research might emphasize any of the following subjects: 1) Factors that affect the delivery of drug and alcohol abuse intervention and related services, such as social factors, personal behaviors and attributes, financing, organization, management and health technologies; 2) Dimensions of drug and alcohol abuse intervention and related services, such as accessibility, utilization, quality, effectiveness, and costs; 3) Processes of blending science-based practices into community-based provision of drug and alcohol abuse prevention services; and 4) Research tools to facilitate higher quality health services research on drug and alcohol abuse.
On July 14, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled AIDS International Training and Research Program (PAR-05-140). The purpose of this announcement is to invite applications from eligible institutions for innovative, collaborative training programs that would contribute to the long-term goal of building sustainable research capacity in HIV/AIDS and HIV related conditions at institutions in low- and middle- income countries. These research-training programs will strengthen scientific knowledge and skills to enhance prevention of and treatment and care for HIV/AIDS and HIV-related conditions in these countries.
On July 22, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) (PA-05-143). The goals of this NIH-supported career development programs are to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. The purpose of this award is to support the career development of investigators who have made a commitment to focus their research endeavors on patient-oriented research.
On August 3, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with NIMH and NINDS, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Collaborative Neurological Sciences (CNS) Award (PAR-05-149). The purpose of this award is to encourage collaborative research investigations among scientists at minority institutions and grantees from leading research laboratories that have NIH or equivalent grant support to conduct neuroscience research. The CNS award will support an investigator-initiated research project in which the applicant and collaborating neuroscientist(s) work in a clearly defined area of mutual research interest.
On August 5, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with NIMH, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities (PAR-05-150). This PA is intended to support public mental health and/or substance abuse services research in rapidly evolving areas (e.g., changes in service systems, health care financing, policy, etc.) where opportunities for empirical study are, by their very natures, only available through expedited award of support.
On August 8, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD Fellows (F30) (PA-05-151). Grants awarded under this PA will support individual predoctoral fellowships for combined MD/PhD training in research areas relevant to the mission of the participating Institutes.
On June 30, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with a number of other NIH components and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), issued an RFA entitled Research on Research Integrity (RFA-NR-06-001). Through this RFA, participating organizations invite applications to support empirical research on research integrity. Applications must have clear relevance to biomedical, behavioral health sciences, and health services research.
On August 5, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with NIMH and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), issued an RFA entitled Enhancing Practice Improvement in Community-Based Care for Prevention and Treatment of Drug Abuse or Co-occurring Drug Abuse and Mental Disorders (RFA-DA-06-001). This initiative aims to develop research capacity in a group that historically has been the object rather than the initiator of research-to-practice investigations. Accordingly, this RFA is intended to enhance the capacity of community-based providers of drug abuse prevention/treatment services, including services for individuals with co-occurring mental disorders, to conduct practice improvement research. Such research may entail the examiniation of therapeutic and/or business practices currently in use but lacking scientific evidence of effectiveness, or it may entail examination of the adoption, implementation, and sustained use of science-based therapeutic and/or business innovations.
On August 19, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with numerous other NIH components, issued an RFA entitled New Ways to Image Neural Activity (RFA-EB-05-001). This RFA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, a coordinated effort of 15 NIH Institutes and Centers to accelerate progress in neuroscience by supporting research and development of enabling tools and resources. This RFA will be administered by the NIBIB on behalf of the Neuroscience Blueprint. This initiative is intended to support research leading to new ways for high resolution imaging of the neural activity that is reflected in electrophysiological signals.
On September 8, 2005, NIDA, in collaboration with numerous other NIH components, issued an RFA entitled Completion of a Comprehensive Mouse Knockout Resource (RFA-HG-05-007). The ultimate aim of the Knockout Mouse Project is to generate a null-mutant mouse resource comprising a null mutation marked with a reporter of high utility for each gene in mouse strain C57BL/6. The purpose of this RFA is to make maximum progress toward this goal using gene targeting, transposon-mediated mutagenesis or gene trapping.
On April 6, 2005, a Notice was released through the NIH Guide announcing the availability of administrative supplement funding to support interdisciplinary research in the behavioral/social and biological sciences. This announcement was associated with the Interdisciplinary Research efforts of the NIH Roadmap, with set-aside funding of approximately $2.4 million.

- CTN 0020 (Job Seekers Training for Substance Abusers). The protocol began enrollment in October 2004 and has reached over 60% of the enrollment goal. This study is also being conducted in a Navajo American Indian site, the Na'nizhoozhi Center, Inc. in Gallup, New Mexico, the first CTN study to be conducted there.
- Protocol CTN 0021(Motivational Enhancement Treatment to Improve Treatment Engagement and Outcome for Spanish-Speaking Individuals Seeking Treatment for Substance Abuse) began enrollment in November 2003. This is the first Spanish-only protocol in the CTN. The study has reached over 80% of the target. This study is expected to close to new enrollment in the fall 2005.
Two protocols have recently completed all data collection phases and are pending data lock (April/May 2005). Those include:
- Protocol CTN 0004 (Motivational Enhancement Treatment to Improve Treatment Engagement and Outcome in Subjects Seeking Treatment for Substance Abuse).
- Protocol CTN 0009 (Smoking Cessation Treatment with Transdermal Nicotine Replacement Therapy in Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Programs)
Three protocols have recently locked their data sets and are at the analysis stage. Those include:
- Protocol CTN 0008 (Assessment of the National Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network: A Baseline for Investigating Diffusion of Innovation).
- Protocol CTN 0012 (Characteristics of Screening, Evaluation, and Treatment of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C Viral Infections, and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs).
- Protocol CTN 0016 (Patient Feedback: A Performance Improvement Study in Outpatient Addiction Treatment Settings).
Four additional Protocols are currently being developed for the Network. Highlights of those protocols include:
- Protocol CTN 0028: Randomized Controlled Trial of Osmotic-Release Methylphenidate (OROS MPH) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adolescents with Substance Use Disorders (SUD). The protocol implementation is planned for fall 2005.
- Protocol CTN-0029: A Pilot Study of Osmotic-Release Methylphenidate (OROS MPH) in Initiating and Maintaining Abstinence in Smokers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Implementation is planned for fall 2005.
- Protocol CTN 0030: Prescription Opioid Addiction Treatment Study (POATS) is a randomized 2-phases, open-label, multi-center study in outpatient treatment settings. The protocol was submitted for DSMB review.
- Protocol CTN 0031: Twelve Step Facilitation: Evaluation of Two Interventions to Increase 12-Step Involvement and Improve Outcomes among Substance Dependent Individuals. This activity is at the concept development stage.
In addition to the primary CTN trials, there are 12 studies supported by independent grants or as supplements that use CTN studies as a platform.
New Collaborative Study: Starting Treatment with Agonist Replacement Therapies (START) Study: The CTN will participate with the Division of Pharmacotherapies & Medical Consequences of Drug Abuse on a multi-centered trial to compare the effect of buprenorphine/naloxone (Bup/Nx) and methadone (MET) on liver function. This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, Phase 4 study in participants entering opioid agonist treatment programs at community centers (methadone centers) throughout the country.
Flair Lindsey, Program Analyst, Special Populations Office, coordinated the ninth annual Summer Research with NIDA program. The program allowed high school and undergraduate students to engage in drug abuse research with NIDA grantees for 8 - 10 weeks over the summer. In 2005, 84 students and 32 grantees participated in the program.
The CTN Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) met July 20-22, 2005, in Bethesda, Maryland. The DSMB group reviewed ongoing protocols CTN 015 (Women's Treatment for Trauma and Substance Abuse), CTN 0017 (HIV/HCV Intervention in Drug Treatment Settings), and CTN 0020 (Job Seekers Training for Substance Abusers).
