The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
This grant program aims to support research centers engaging in innovative and multidisciplinary drug abuse and addiction research within the scope of NIDA's mission. Centers should transform knowledge in the sciences they study, focusing on new and creative directions rather than incremental work. They are expected to serve as national resources, offering educational and outreach activities to various communities and policy makers in the NIDA research fields. Additionally, these centers should foster the career development of new investigators and share their findings, data, and resources to advance research in drug abuse.
