NOT-DA-21-061 - Notice of Change to NOT-DA-21-013, "Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): High-Priority Interest to Enhance Data Science Research Training in Addiction Research"

Issued by

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)

Purpose

Data science is an important cross-cutting research approach in the NIDA Strategic Plan and increasing the capacity of experts in data science for biomedical research of addiction is critical. The purpose of this Notice is to highlight NIDA's high-priority interest in receiving applications that will support training and career development in Big Data and Computational Science (i.e., Data Science) within the overall field of addiction research. Grants supported under this Notice can be from individuals at formative career stages or from established investigators proposing training programs that will support early career scientists. Individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups historically underrepresented in the STEM fields, who wish to pursue further studies or careers in Big Data and Computational Science as it relates to addiction research are highly encouraged to apply.

Examples of educational, career development, and/or research proposals in Data Science relevant to drugs of abuse and addiction training and career development include, but are not limited to:

  • Development of computational tools and artificial intelligence algorithms for secondary analysis of a variety of data types on substance use disorders, including research on the intersection of HIV/AIDS and substance use disorders.
  • Analysis of large datasets, including those relevant to the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders as well as the interactions of substance use disorders and HIV/AIDS
  • Integration of different types of large datasets
  • Development of databases relevant to addiction research, including addiction-related HIV/AIDS research
  • Development of automated computational tools to standardize data to be archived in databases

Fields of Addiction Research interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Genetics
  • Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Molecular/Cellular
  • Chemistry, including but not limited to medicinal chemistry
  • Health Disparities
  • Neuroimaging
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Services
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
NIAAA supports basic, translational, and clinical research on the causes, consequences, prevention, diagnosis, progression, and treatment of alcohol-related problems across the lifespan. NIAAA encourages meritorious alcohol research projects in the broad areas of neuroscience and behavior, organ damage and other health effects, epidemiology and prevention, and treatment and recovery. NIAAA also encourages meritorious research projects on alcohol-related topics of relevance to understanding and addressing minority health and health disparities and that focus on the training of a diverse research workforce.
NIAAA encourages projects that use the NIAAA Data Archive (https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/research/niaaa-data-archive) or funded initiatives with data repositories, including Collaborative Studies on Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) study, Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, or the Monkey Alcohol Tissue Research Resource (MATRR). More information about NIAAA’s mission and research priorities is available in the NIAAA Strategic Plan at https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/strategic-plan. For specific programmatic questions, please contact NIAAA point of contact as listed in this FOA.
Please note that for this NOSI, NIAAA will only support fellowship applications in response to the following FOAs:
