The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces the NIDA Research Education Program for Clinical Researchers and Clinicians under Funding Opportunity Number PAR-25-204. The program aims to enhance training for clinicians and clinical researchers in substance use disorder (SUD) research through educational activities, specifically courses for skills development and hands-on research experiences. This initiative addresses the shortage of qualified researchers and clinicians in substance use and emphasizes the importance of increased participation from underrepresented groups. Open for new applications starting February 11, 2025, with a total project duration not exceeding five years, the program offers a budget up to $350,000 annually in direct costs. It targets various career levels, including medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and independent scientists but does not support non-research-related clinical training. The application process necessitates adherence to NIH guidelines, focusing on comprehensive program proposals that foster career transitions, community engagement, and diversity. Furthermore, applicants must detail recruiting strategies, responsible conduct of research training, and evaluation plans for program effectiveness. Overall, this funding opportunity aims to cultivate a well-equipped workforce to address pressing public health issues related to substance use and SUDs.
