Epidemiology of Drug Abuse (R03)

archived

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), is intended to support research projects with the R03 mechanism to enhance our understanding of the nature, extent, distribution, etiology, and consequences of drug use, abuse, and addiction across individuals, families, communities, and diverse population groups. This Program strongly encourages applications that address multiple levels of causation, reflecting the breadth of epidemiology research, that are transdisciplinary in nature and apply novel methods that allow for the advancement of science (e.g., those that investigate interplay among genetic, environmental, and developmental factors, or those that examine how aspects of social environments affect health outcomes), as well as those that take advantage of the investments made by NIH and other funders by using existing data to inform our understanding of drug abuse epidemiology and etiology in a creative and cost efficient manner.
