II.                  Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Effects of Cannabis Use and Cannabinoids on the Developing BrainNotice Number: NOT-DA-20-039

 

The purpose of this Notice is to encourage investigators to submit grant applications to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)to study the effects of cannabis and cannabinoid exposure on the developing brain, from pre-, peri-, and post-natal development through young adulthood in humans and using animal models.

 

Application Dates: Standard dates apply

III.                Avenir Award Program for Chemistry and Pharmacology of Substance Use Disorders (DP1- Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (RFA-DA-24-007)

 

The purpose of this award is to support early stage investigators proposing highly innovative research in the area of chemistry and pharmacology of substance use disorders and addiction. This award is to support those in an early stage of their career who may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant, but who propose high impact research and who show promise of being tomorrow's leaders in the field. The research may focus on development of novel chemical, pharmacological, or computational methods and tools that can potentially be applied to investigate basic mechanisms, targets, and pathways of relevance to treating addiction and substance use disorders. Investigators outside the field of addiction who are interested in applying their novel approaches to the chemistry and pharmacology of addiction are encouraged to apply.

IV.                Mechanisms and Targets at the Intersection of HIV and Substance Use (R01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed) (RFA-DA-24-013)

 

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research on the discovery and development of novel chemical and biological approaches to prevent and/or treat central nervous system (CNS) complications associated with HIV infection and substance use. NIDA is specifically interested in supporting basic research on signaling pathways, virus-host protein interactions, and post-translational protein modifications, which are commonly affected by HIV and substance use and lead to neuropathology and neurocognitive dysfunction.
