About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health is soliciting R21 grant applications for innovative analysis of existing data to study substance use behaviors and related disorders, with a due date of December 3, 2027. Clinical trials are not permitted under this mechanism.

Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state and local governments, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and other entities including HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, AANAPISIs, faith-based and community-based organizations, tribally controlled colleges and universities, and non-domestic entities.

The program invites analyses of existing social science, behavioral, administrative, and neuroimaging datasets to examine the etiology and epidemiology of drug use behaviors (defined as alcohol, tobacco, prescription and other drugs), prevention of drug use and HIV, and health service utilization. Applicants should leverage public use and extant community-based or clinical datasets to advance knowledge of drug use trajectories, consequences including morbidity and mortality, risk and resilience factors in psychopathology development, and strategies to guide development, testing, implementation, and delivery of prevention and treatment services.

The program operates under two Assistance Listing numbers: Alcohol Research Programs (93.273) and Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (93.279). Award ceilings, floors, expected number of awards, period of performance, and cost share requirements are not specified in the source materials. Evaluation will assess scientific merit, program relevance, and alignment with NIH priorities. Standard NIH peer review procedures apply, with review timelines typically 240 to 270 days from submission.

Synopsis

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to invite applications proposing the innovative analysis of existing social science, behavioral, administrative, and neuroimaging data to study the etiology and epidemiology of drug using behaviors (defined as alcohol, tobacco, prescription and other drug) and related disorders, prevention of drug use and HIV, and health service utilization. This FOA encourages the analyses of public use and other extant community-based or clinical datasets to their full potential in order to increase our knowledge of etiology, trajectories of drug using behaviors and their consequences including morbidity and mortality, risk and resilience in the development of psychopathology, strategies to guide the development, testing, implementation, and delivery of high quality, effective and efficient services for the prevention and treatment of drug abuse and HIV.

Eligibility

Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
