About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for the Imaging - Science Track Award for Research Transition (I/START) (R03 Clinical Trial Optional) to fund brain imaging research on substance use disorders and addiction, with an application due date of July 29, 2026.
This R03 grant mechanism supports newly independent investigators and established investigators developing or adopting neuroimaging tools and methodologies through small proof-of-concept studies. Eligible applicants include small businesses, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), public and private higher education institutions, for-profit organizations, state and local governments, public housing authorities, and independent school districts. Foreign components are eligible per NOT-DA-24-060. The program funds projects designed to be completed in a short period with limited resources.
Awards are made under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The R03 mechanism typically supports discrete, time-limited research projects with budgets substantially lower than standard R01 research grants. NIH review encompasses scientific and technical merit, research feasibility, potential contribution to addressing the national drug abuse problem, and alignment with NIDA priorities. The standard NIH peer review cycle runs 240 to 270 days from submission.
Applicants may pursue either a basic science track or a clinical trial optional track. This NOFO was originally posted November 1, 2024, and close date was updated to align with reissued NOFO PAS-27-028. Award ceiling, number of awards, period of performance, and cost share requirements are not specified in the source material.
