About this opportunity
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks applicants for Core "Center of Transformative Science" Grants to support centers that bring together existing NIH-funded and non-federally-funded investigators to advance research in substance use, addiction, and HIV. This is a forecast; a hard application deadline is not yet announced.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), tribal organizations, special district and county governments, independent school districts, public or Indian housing authorities, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and non-domestic entities.
Centers must transform the scientific field rather than support incremental work. Each application proposes a single Center providing shared resources to a research community—such as imaging capabilities or small-molecule drug chemistry support—and integrating funded projects across the applicant institution aligned with the Center's theme. Centers are expected to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, support new and early-career investigators, and promote data and resource sharing.
NIDA does not specify an award ceiling, floor, or expected number of awards in this forecast. The program operates under 42 U.S.C. §241 and §284. Awards typically support specified project periods not exceeding five years. This opportunity falls under CFDA 93.279 (Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs), where NIDA has awarded $22.79 billion across 7,085 grants historically. Scientific review will assess merit, feasibility, contribution to national drug abuse priorities, and alignment with NIDA priorities. Cost share is not mentioned.
Forecast synopsis
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks to advance its mission by supporting Core Center of Transformative Science Grants. These Centers will bring together investigators currently funded by NIH or other Federal or non-Federal sources to enhance and extend existing research relevant to substance use, addiction, and HIV. Centers are expected to transform the scientific field of study by facilitating research, providing administrative support, and fostering a rigorous research environment that encourages innovative and creative directions. Incremental work should not be the focus of Center activities.
Applications responding to this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) are strongly encouraged to integrate and promote research across funded projects at the applicant institution that align with the Center's theme, while also supporting interdisciplinary collaborations. Each application should propose a single Center. Centers may include a range of resources with distinct goals across the different scientific areas. They are intended to provide shared resources to a research community, such as imaging capabilities or small-molecule drug chemistry support. Centers must also prioritize providing research opportunities and experiences for new and early-career investigators, facilitating collaborations, and promoting the sharing of data, research findings, and resources to achieve the program goals. Grant authorities that allow NIDA to forecast this opportunity are as follows: 42 U.S.C 241 and 284
