Program Activities

New NIDA PAs and RFAs

On August 3, 2006, NIDA/CCTN released RFA-DA-07-001, Announcement of a Limited Competition of THE NATIONAL DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT CLINICAL TRIALS NETWORK (U10). This RFA announced a limited competition for competitive renewal applications from established clinical investigators to participate in the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN). The competition was restricted to only those institutions that currently house an existing, active Node in the CTN. Six applications were received by the November 28, 2006 receipt date. Initial peer review is planned for February/March 2007.

On September 18, 2006, NIDA issued a Program Announcement (PA) entitled NIDA Research Education Grants in Drug Abuse and Addiction (R25) (PAR-06-550). The NIDA Research Education grant is a flexible and specialized mechanism designed to foster the development of drug addiction researchers through creative and innovative educational programs. Programs that focus on preparing researchers in cross-disciplinary integration and/or translational research of neuroscience, basic behavioral, prevention, clinical, treatment, and services research are particularly encouraged.

On December 6, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Drug Abuse Prevention Intervention Research (R01) (PA-07-110). The goals of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) are to encourage investigstions 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; and 3) the processes associated with the selection, adoption, adaptation, implementation, sustainability and financing of empirically validated intervention; and 4) methodologies appropriate for studying complex aspects of prevention science.

On December 7, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled MDMA: Research Areas Needing More Emphasis (R01) (PA-07-112). Through this FOA, NIDA solicits grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to focus on specific areas of MDMA research, across all research disciplines urgently needing attention.

On December 7, NIDA issued a PA entitled Health Services Research on Practice Improvement Utilizing Community Treatment Programs within the National Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN) (R01) (PA-07-1143). This FOA solicits health services research in conjunction with NIDA's Clinical Trials Network (CTN). The CTN is a research partnership between more than 150 community treatment programs (CTPs) and drug abuse researchers in multiple sites across the country. With its extensive network of providers servicing diverse populations of drug users, the CTN provides an infrastructure for the investigation of (a) systems-level factors that facilitate practice improvement in community treatment programs and (b) new research tools to facilitate higher quality health services research on practice improvement in drug abuse treatment.

On December 7, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Drug Abuse as a Cause, Correlate or Consequence of Criminal Justice Related Health Disparities Among African Americans (R01) (PA-007-114). This FOA solicits Research Project Grants (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct epidemiologic, prevention, treatment and services research on criminal justice related health disparities among African Americans as it relates to drug abuse and addiction.

On December 8, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Inhalant Abuse: Supporting Broad-Based Research Approaches (R01) (PA-07-117). The goal of this PA is to encourage research on all aspects of inhalant abuse (i.e., epidemiology; prevention, treatment and service delivery; antecedents, consequesnces and neurobiological mechanisms).

On December 8, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Prescription Drug Abuse (R01) (PA-07-123). The purpose of this FOA is to encourage research aimed at reducing prescription drug abuse while supporting appropriate medical use of therapeutic agents with abuse liability. A range of research is needed to combat prescription drug abuse--from specifying the extent and nature of the problem (including health and social consequences) and identifying their determinants, to discovering effective clinical practices that identify those at risk and designing and disseminating prevention and treatment interventions.

On December 8, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Epidemiology of Drug Abuse (R01) (PA-07-118). This FOA is intended to support research projects that address (1) drug use patterns and trends within and across populations; (2) interplay of social interactions, social environment, structural context with individual behavioral characteristics and genetic vulnerability; (3) the phenotypic heterogeneity of drug abuse; (4) causal mechanisms leading to onset, maintenance, and remittance of drug abuse as well as protective mechanisms that reduce the risk of drug abuse; and (5) drug abuse over the life course, including developmental processes that influence drug use trajectories and behavioral, health and social consequences of drug abuse.

On December 14, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Functional Genetics and Genomics of Drug Addiction (R01) (PA-07-166). This FOA encourages basic functional genomic research in two areas: 1) functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants have an authentic role in addictive processes, and 2) detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways and processes modulated by candidate genes/variants, particularly for those genes with an unanticipated role in addiction. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism.

On December 14, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Functional Genetics and Genomics of Drug Addiction (R03) (PA-07-168). This FOA encourages basic functional genomic research in two areas: 1) functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants have an authentic role in addictive processes, and 2) detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways and processes modulated by candidate genes/variants, particularly for those genes with an unanticipated role in addiction. This FOA will utilize the R03 grant mechanism.

On December 14, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Functional Genetics and Genomics of Drug Addiction (R21) (PA-07-167). This FOA encourages basic functional genomic research in two areas: 1) functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants have an authentic role in addictive processes, and 2) detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways and processes modulated by candidate genes/variants, particularly for those genes with an unanticipated role in addiction. This FOA will utilize the R21 grant mechanism.

On December 21, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Non-Injection Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS (R21) (PAS-07-262). This FOA seeks to understand the contribution of non-injection drug abuse to the acquisition and/or transmission and/or disease progression of HIV/AIDS through use of the R21 mechanism to support new exploratory and developmental research projects.

On December 21, 2006, NIDA issued a PA entitled Non-Injection Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS (R03) (PAS-07-261). This FOA seeks to understand the contribution of non-injection drug abuse to the acquisition and/or transmission and/or disease progression of HIV/AIDS through use of the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism.

On January 5, 2007, NIDA issued a PA entitled International Research Collaboration on Drug Addiction (R01) (PA-07-275). This PA solicits collaborative research proposals on drug abuse and addiction that take advantage of special opportunities that exist outside the United States. Special opportunities include access to unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that will speed scientific discovery. Projects must have relevance to the mission of NIDA and where feasible should address NIDA's scientific priority areas.

On January 9, 2007, NIDA issued a PA entitled Collaborative Multi-Site Research in Addiction (COMRAD) (R01) (PA-07-286). Through this PA, NIDA seeks to increase the collaboration of investigators at two or more sites in order to address critical issues in the epidemiology, services, and prevention of substance abuse and related disorders that require sample sizes or sample diversity greater than a single site can reasonably attain.

On October 17, 2006, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Development of Immunotherapeutic Products for the Treatment of Methamphetamine Addiction (U01) (RFA-DA-07-004). The objective of this solicitation is to support research in the design, synthesis, and pre-clinical evaluation of vaccines developed from methamphetamine-protein conjugates for the active immunotherapeutic treatment of methamphetamine addiction.

On October 17, 2006, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Design, Synthesis, and Preclinical Testing of Potential Treatment Agents for Drug Addiction (R01) (RFA-DA-07-006). This FOA solicits research applications from institutions/organizations that propose design, synthesis, and preclinical testing of potential treatment agents for drug addiction and/or relapse prevention.

On November 16, 2006, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Brain Imaging Drug Use Prevention Messages (R21) (RFA-DA-07-007). The purpose of this FOA is to stimulate exploratory, i.e., descriptive, hypothesis-generating, research on neurobiological responses to substance abuse prevention media messages in humans using established brain imaging methods. There is particular interest in studies across developmental stages and age groups.

On November 3, 2006, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Extinction and Pharmacotherapies for Drug Addiction (R03) (RFA-DA-07-011). The purpose of this FOA is to stimulate research on the mechanisms underlying extinction in order to guide the development of interventions for enhancing extinction of drug-seeking behavior. This FOA will utilize the R03 grant mechanism.

On November 21, 2006, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Extinction and Pharmacotherapies for Drug Addiction (R01) (RFA-DA-07-010). The purpose of this FOA is to stimulate research on the mechanisms underlying extinction in order to guide the development of interventions for enhancing extinction of drug-seeking behavior. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism.

On October 12, 2006, NIDA issued a Request for Applications entitled Mechanisms of Drug Abuse Interactions with HIV Neuropathogenesis (R21) RFA-DA-07-003 as well as a Notice of Intent to Publish an R01 Request for Applications to Accompany the Published R01 (NOT-DA-07-001). The receipt date for these applications is March 21, 2007. There is evidence that drug exposure increases the rate and/or severity of HIV-associated neurologic complications. Whether these interactions are mediated by effects on viral entry into the CNS, changes in the neural environment that affect viral replication, chronic processes that contribute to disease progression in the brain, or altered susceptibility of neural cells to damage is unknown. In order to broaden the AIDS research portfolio in both basic and clinical neuroscience, this RFA will encourage a broad range of interdisciplinary basic and/or clinical research approaches to define the basis of interaction between substances of abuse and HIV infection of the brain, including effects on neuropathogenesis and neuropathology.

On November 20, 2006, NIDA issued an RFA entitled Mechanisms of Drug Abuse Interactions with HIV Neuropathogenesis (R01) (RFA-DA-07-002). This FOA solicits research grant applications to examine the mechanisms of interaction between licit or illicit substance abuse, or medications to treat substance abuse, and events related to the etiology and pathogenesis of HIV-associated neurologic complications.

NIDA is the lead institute for a Roadmap Initiative (RFA-RM-07-004) that was released recently entitled, Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research via Methodological and Technological Innovation in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R21). Dr. Lisa Onken is the NIDA contact for this RFA.

In November 2006, NIDA and the Dutch Addiction Program (DAP) announced the availability of administrative supplements in FY07 to support binational collaborative research projects. This program is a continuation of the U.S.-Netherlands Collaborative Research Program on Drug Abuse, using the uniquely successful model of joint funding for binational collaborative research. The joint scientific reviews conducted by the separate U.S. and Dutch funding agencies ensure that each binational research project meets the individual nations' research criteria and priorities; the joint funding permits NIDA and DAP to expand the impact of their scarce financial resources. NIDA provides support to the U.S. researcher and DAP provides support to the Dutch scientist. Letters of intent were due December 15, 2006; applications are due March 26, 2007; and funding will be approved no later than July 2007. The supplement announcement is available at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-DA-07-003.html.
