Purpose
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) intends to publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications from clinical investigators to participate in the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN). NIDA intends to continue to develop and test interventions for addressing the wide spectrum of substance use problems via collaborative partnerships among NIDA, clinical research investigators, healthcare providers, and institutions. The purpose of this notice is to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and projects.
The FOA is expected to be published in August 2019 with an expected application due date in November 2019.
Research Initiative Details
The CTN is comprised of research Nodes that serve as research and training centers, with numerous collaborating healthcare organizations or clinical research sites, and two coordinating centers. The CTN program is administered within NIDA through the Center for the Clinical Trials Network (CCTN). NIDA plans to continue supporting the CTN research infrastructure to build on the broad portfolio of research conducted in the CTN.
Applicants will be encouraged to provide descriptions of their ability to engage diverse patients in areas highly impacted by substance use; expertise with innovative research tools and constructs and capacity to conduct efficacy, effectiveness and implementation research; ability to leverage digital technologies and electronic platforms such as mobile health tools and electronic health record systems; clinical trial expertise evaluating medications and behavioral strategies to address current and emerging trends in substance misuse/SUD (e.g. stimulant misuse); and ability to conduct pragmatic addiction research embedded in general medical settings and specialty care settings with an emphasis on sustainability.
Applications proposing new Nodes and continued support of existing Nodes are encouraged. Applications proposing Multiple Principal Investigator (MPI) collaborations, including collaborations between institutions in different states, are encouraged. NIDA has an interest in extending the reach of the CTN to regions of the country that are not currently represented in the network.
