$2 Million in Grants for Drug Research Using Existing Data

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will award $2 million in grants to researchers who analyze existing social science and behavioral data to study the etiology and epidemiology of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, HIV risk behaviors, related disorders, prevention and treatment of these behaviors, and health service utilization including quality, access, and costs.

“NIDA and NCI encourage coordinated analyses of substance abuse research data that are in public use or that are privately held by a principal investigator,” according to the grant announcement.

Nonprofits, schools, governments, for-profit firms and others may apply. Approximately 5 to 8 grants of up to $250,000 will be awarded under the R01 funding mechanism in FY2010.

Applications will be accepted through Jan. 7, 2013.
