Research Training and Career Development Programs (RTCDP) PDF Print E-mail

The Research Training and Career Development Program (RTCDP) encompasses institutional grant programs designed to foster the training and career development of the next generation of drug abuse and addiction researchers, ranging in scope from basic science and medications development to prevention, clinical, and translational research. These sites are funded under three types of institutional grant mechanisms: the T-32 grant mechanism, or National Research Service Awards (NRSA); the T90/R90 mechanism; and the K12 mechanism. Together, these programs involve close to 70 university-based training and career development sites around the country.

For specific information about the individual training programs below
    •           Pre-Doctoral NRSA Training
    •           Post-Doctoral NRSA Training
    •           Pre- and Post-Doctoral NRSA Training
    •           Blueprint Training
    •           Roadmap Training
    •           Mentored Career Development

Mission:

NIDA offers a strategic set of funding mechanisms to support the development of research scientists through various stages of their careers.  These awards are designed to ensure that scientists of the very highest caliber will be available in adequate numbers and in the appropriate research areas and fields to meet the Nation’s drug abuse and addiction research needs.

In addition to the institutional network described above, NIDA also supports individuals in their pursuit of training and career development in addiction science.  For more information on these training opportunities
