Development of Medications to Prevent and Treat Substance Use Disorders and Overdose (UG3/UH3 - Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-329 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the discovery and development of medications to prevent and treat substance use disorders (SUDs) and overdose. The UG3/UH3 Phase Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement involves 2 phases. The UG3 is to support a project with specific milestones to be accomplished by the end of the 2-year period. The UH3 is to provide funding for 3 years to a project that successfully completed the milestones set in the UG3. UG3 projects that have met their milestones will be administratively considered by NIDA and prioritized for transition to the UH3 phase. Investigators responding to this NOFO must address both UG3 and UH3 phases. Application may include preclinical or clinical research studies that will have high impact and quickly yield the necessary results to advance closer to FDA approval medications that are safe and effective to prevent and treat SUDs and overdose. The compounds to be evaluated can be small molecules, biologics, or natural products. They can be tested in pre-clinical models and/or for the clinical manifestations of SUDs such as withdrawal, craving, relapse, or overdose. Applications may focus on the development of new chemical entities, new formulations of marketed medications available for other indications, or combinations of medications that hold promise for the treatment of SUDs and overdose. Through this NOFO, NIDA seeks to fast-track the discovery and development of medications to prevent and treat SUDs or overdose and to advance them in the FDA's drug development approval pipeline.

Grand Opportunity in Medications Development for Substance-Use Disorders (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity PAR-25-328 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to accelerate the development of medication for the treatment of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) by encouraging research applications to support a diverse array of preclinical and/or clinical research projects. The goal is to fund medication studies that will have high impact and quickly yield the necessary results to advance medications closer to FDA approval. It is expected that these U01s will be short-term (funded for up to 3 years) and large (up to $5 million per year) cooperative agreements with close monitoring and significant scientific involvement of NIDA staff. This funding opportunity will enable critical medications development studies that would not be feasible using the traditional R01 activity code.

Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant (Parent T35)
Funding Opportunity PA-25-280 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants (T35) to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and/or enhance research training opportunities for predoctoral students interested in careers within biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research workforce. Many NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) use this NRSA program exclusively to support intensive, short-term research training experiences for health professional students (medical students, veterinary students, and/or students in other health-professional programs) during the summer. This program is also intended to encourage training of graduate students in the physical or quantitative sciences to pursue interests in research careers by short-term exposure to, and involvement in, the health-related sciences. The training should be of sufficient depth to enable the trainees, upon completion of the program, to have a thorough exposure to the principles underlying the conduct of biomedical research.
