Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Drug Abuse Research (R21)
Description
Grant Amount: Unspecified.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH). The FOA is intended to support pilot, feasibility, or exploratory research for up to 2 years in 4 priority areas, including (1) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive medical system changes (e.g. opportunities to understand addiction services in the evolving health care system); (2) responses to emerging drug abuse-related HIV trends and topics (e.g. rapidly evolving drug-abuse related epidemics, time-sensitive policy or environmental changes); (3) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive criminal justice opportunities (e.g. new system and/or structural level changes) that relate to drug abuse and access and provision of health care service; and (4) responses to unexpected and time-sensitive prescription drug abuse opportunities (e.g., new state or local efforts). It should be clear that the knowledge gained from the proposed study is time-sensitive, and that an expedited review and funding are required in order for the scientific question to be answered.
In particular, this FOA encourages innovative scientific partnerships between researchers and community or public partners (e.g., public mental health/substance abuse or health care systems; public and federally-charted community health clinic settings; AIDS-service organizations; criminal justice settings; school systems; child welfare agencies; health care providers; long-term care providers, payers, health authorities, etc.) who cannot delay policy or program changes in order to obtain baseline research data related to the implementation or impact of such changes. Research collaborations intended to answer unique and innovative questions concerning changes in a health care system or policy are of most interest.
This FOA responds to the need for rapid responses to “emerging policy changes and phenomena that affect the delivery and/or effectiveness of prevention and treatment services” related to addiction care (in particular prescription drug use), HIV care, and the criminal justice setting. The FOA provides a mechanism for accelerated review and award to support opportunities for this type of initial feasibility and pilot research.
