Program Activities

New NIDA PAs and RFAs

On June 16, NIDA issued a new Program Announcement (PA) entitled Women, Gender Differences and Drug Abuse (PA-03-139). This PA encourages gender-based drug abuse research that explores the mechanisms, origins, and consequences of drug abuse, and that develops and assesses gender-based prevention and treatment interventions and services. It also encourages the study of female-specific issues in all areas of drug abuse.

On July 7, 2003, NIDA issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Behavioral Science Track Award for Rapid Transition (B/START) -- NIDA (PAR-03-146). This PA is a reissuance of PAR-01-014, issued November 8, 2000 in the NIH Guide. Through this PA, NIDA seeks to facilitate the entry of beginning investigators into the field of behavioral science research. NIDA invites newly independent investigators to submit applications for small-scale, exploratory, or pilot research projects related to NIDA's behavioral science mission.

On July 22, 2003, NIDA issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Molecular Genetics of Drug Addiction Vulnerability (PA-03-155). This PA seeks investigator-initiated applications for research projects that identify chromosomal loci and genetic variation in genes and haplotypes that are associated with increased vulnerability to addiction or dependence on stimulants (e.g., cocaine and amphetamine), narcotics (e.g., opiates), nicotine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, cannabis, hallucinogens, and/or multiple drugs of abuse in human beings.

On July 22, 2003, NIDA issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled SBIR/STTR Phase II Continuation Awards (PA-03-154). This PA provides up to another three years of support to small businesses for drug development by providing a second stage of Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funding. A recipient of an NIH SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II award normally receives under $1 million, and less than three years of support. Although Phase I and Phase II SBIR/STTR support is sufficient for initial discovery efforts (e.g., compound synthesis and some in vitro and in vivo preclinical pharmacological testing), it is not adequate to support either the kind of developmental work needed for compliance with the Food and Drug Administration's requirements for an investigational new drug (IND), or for clinical trials. This PA specifically invites applications for the competing continuation of previously funded Phase II SBIR and STTR grants, to take existing, promising pharmacological treatment agents for drug and nicotine abuse and dependence through the next step of drug discovery and development.

On May 23, 2003, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Centers for the Development of Medications to Treat Drug Dependence DA-04-003 to solicit applications for funding research centers called Medication Development Units (MDUs) directed towards the identification, evaluation and development of safe and effective medications for the treatment of cocaine, methamphetamine, club drug, opiate, and cannabis related disorders, including substance use (abuse and dependence) and substance-induced disorders such as substance withdrawal and intoxication. Letter of Intent Receipt Date for this RFA: September 15, 2003; Application Receipt Date: October 14, 2003.

PAs/RFAs Issued With Other NIH Components or Agencies

On May 19, 2003, NIDA, in collaboration with NIAAA, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Behavioral Therapies Development Program (PA-03-126). Through this PA, NIDA and NIAAA are seeking research grant applications on the development of behavioral treatments for drug and alcohol abuse and dependence. This PA reaffirms NIDA's and NIAAA's continued and ongoing commitment to major programs of research on behavioral therapies.

On June 6, 2003, NIDA, in collaboration with NIMH and NICHD, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Women's Mental Health in Pregnanacy and the Postpartum Period (PA-03-135). In this PA, research on women's mental health in relation to pregnancy and the postpartum period is encouraged including epidemiological, diagnostic, clinical, and intervention research on postpartum depression and psychosis.

On May 16, 2003, NIDA, in conjunction with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Global Health Research Initiative Program for New Foreign Investigators (PAR-03-118). This PA is intended to promote productive re-entry of NIH-trained foreign investigators from low-income countries into their home countries as part of a broader program to enhance the scientific research infrastructure in developing countries, to stimulate research on a wide variety of high priority health-related issues in these countries, and to advance NIH efforts to address health issues of global import.

On May 12, 2003, NIDA, in conjunction with numerous other NIH components, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Innovations in Biomedical Computational Science and Technology: SBIR/STTR Initiative (PAR-03-119).

On June 4, 2003, NIDA, in conjunction with a number of other NIH Institutes and the National Science Foundation (NSF), issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Tools for Collaborations that Involve Data Sharing (PA-03-134). This PA invites proposals to develop collaborative tools and techniques that creatively manage and analyze large amounts of data that are generated during research and need to be shared among several (or many) groups.

On July 11, 2003, NIDA, in collaboration with numerous other NIH Institutes and Centers, issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled Biobehavioral Pain Research (PA-03-152). The purpose of this PA is to inform the scientific community of the interests of the various institutes at the NIH and to stimulate and foster a wide range of basic and clinical studies on pain as they relate to the missions of these Institutes.

On August 7, 2003, NIDA, in collaboration with NIMH, NIAAA, NIA and NCI issued a Program Announcment (PA) entitled Research on the Reduction and Prevention of Suicidality (PA-03-161). Through this PA the participating NIH Institutes invite grant applications for research that will reduce the burden of suicidality (deaths, attempts, and ideation). The intent of this PA is to intensify investigator-initiated research on this topic, to attract new investigators to the field, and to increase interdisciplinary approaches to developing effective strategies to reduce suicidality.

On July 1, 2003, NIDA, in collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the NIH Office of Rare Diseases (ORD), issued an RFA entitled Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award with Emphasis on the Application of Genomic or Proteomic Technologies (K23) (HG-03-006). The purpose of this K23 award is to support the career development of clinicians who intend to engage in patient-oriented research that involved the application of the knowledge, tools, technologies and approaches of genomics and proteomics to the study of diseases in an effort to develop effective therapeutic interventions. This award will provide support for three to five years of supervised study and research for clinically trained professionals who plan to become independent, productive, clinical investigators focusing on patient-oriented research. Application Receipt Dates for this RFA: October 20, 2003; October 20, 2004; and October 20, 2005.

On August 20, 2003, NIDA, in collaboration with NIMH, issued an RFA entitled Developing Translational Research on Mechanisms of Extinction Learning (RFA-MH-04-005). Through this RFA, NIMH and NIDA hope to foster collaborations between basic and clinical researches who are focusing their research interests on extinction mechanisms. The goal of this RFA is to promote the development of innovative pilot projects that incorporate multidisciplinary approaches to the study of extinction learning and to accelerate the development of novel pharmacological, behavioral, and cognitive therapies for anxiety and drug disorders that are marked by deficits in extinction learning and/or the inability to consolidate safety signals.

Other Program Activities

Aging and Drug Abuse Workgroup
A new NIDA workgroup has been formed under the leadership of Drs. Timothy Condon and Susan Weiss, with participants from each Division, to focus on issues related to aging and drug abuse. The overall goal is to determine how NIDA should support and encourage research that addresses the questions of how a history of drug abuse might affect the aging process, and whether drug abuse will emerge as a significant problem in the aging baby-boomer generation. The workgroup has reviewed NIDA's portfolio in this area and is in the process of planning a workshop tentatively titled: Preparing for the 21st Century: How Serious a Problem will Drug Abuse be in the Elderly Population? The workgroup has and will continue to collaborate with other NIH Institutes (NIMH, NIA, NIAAA) in this endeavor.
