Drug Abuse Dissertation Research: Epidemiology, Prevention, Treatment, Services, and Women and Sex/Gender Differences (R36)

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for support of drug abuse doctoral dissertation research in epidemiology, prevention, treatment, services, and women and sex/gender differences. Grants to support dissertation research will provide no more than $50,000 in direct costs per year, and are awarded for up to two years, with the possibility of extension without additional funds for up to 12 months. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. This FOA provides funding support of dissertation research through the NIH Dissertation Award (R36) mechanism.
