The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as University of Colorado-Denver, received a $539,948 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to support the NCRE Scholars Program. This program aims to foster the development of early-career Indigenous substance use and disorder researchers, particularly those focused on the impacts and developmental course of problematic substance use in childhood and adolescence. The 5-year grant will support 20 graduate students and early-career researchers in 5 new cohorts of 4 scholars each, providing tailored mentoring, training, coursework, writing support, and opportunities for connection and collaboration with senior research mentors and the broader Native Children's Research Exchange (NCRE) network. The program leverages the NCRE network's existing platform for connecting researchers with communities to advance understanding of Indigenous children's development.
