PURPOSE

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) small grant program provides research support of up to $50,000 per year (direct costs) for up to two years. This award is not renewable. This program announcement replaces and supersedes the NIDA portion of PA-91-08. This small grant program accepts applications that fall within the program interests of the NIDA. The small grant program provides limited financial support for research within NIDA's purview. Priority will be given to applications in any of the following categories: (1) Newer, less experienced investigators; (2) investigators at institutions without well-developed research traditions and resources; (3) more experienced investigators for exploratory studies that represent significant change in research direction for them; and (4) more experienced investigators for testing new methods or techniques.
