This Notice provides information regarding an upcoming pre-application technical assistance (TA) webinar from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) for applicants responding to NIDA Racial Equity Initiative Funding Opportunity Announcements.
The NIH is committed to supporting health equity research to 1) improve minority health and reduce health disparities in the United States and 2) remove the barriers to advancing health disparities research. In alignment with this NIH-wide effort, NIDA established the Racial Equity Initiative (REI). The NIDA REI Research Gaps and Opportunities (RGO) Workgroup convened a workshop in February, 2021 with a goal of identifying bold new directions for research to address racial and ethnic minority health disparities in substance use and addiction outcomes. In response to information gathered from this meeting and to internal and external discussions and listening sessions, NIDA has issued a suite of funding opportunity announcements, which include the following:
HIV and Substance Use:
Community Engaged Research:
Racial Equity Visionary Award:
Neurocognitive Mechanisms:
Coordination Center:
