CHANGE TO DRUG ABUSE DISSERTATION RESEARCH: EPIDEMIOLOGY, PREVENTION, 
TREATMENT, SERVICES, AND WOMEN AND GENDER DIFFERENCES (PA-02-055)

RELEASE DATE:  April 8, 2003

NOTICE:  NOT-DA-03-002

PURPOSE

This is a change to the Program Announcement "Drug Abuse Dissertation 
Research:  Epidemiology, Prevention, Treatment, Services, and Women and 
Gender Differences," published in the NIH Guide, February 5, 2002, 
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-02-055.html).  The 
maximum salary for principal investigators with NIDA's dissertation 
applications is raised from $18,156-$19,968 per year to make it 
comparable to the new NIH stipend for NRSA predoctoral fellows (see 
Revision of March 7, 2003 Notice about Ruth L. Kirschstein National 
Research Service Award (NRSA) Stipend Increase and Other Budgetary 
Changes Effective For Fiscal Year 2003, at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-036.html.)
This increase in salary would be achieved by having the principal 
investigator re-allocate funds within their budget so that the total 
direct costs requested would still not exceed the maximum of $50,000 
per year as allowed by NIDA.
