The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has announced a funding opportunity titled "NIDA REI: Addressing Racial Equity in Substance Use and Addiction Outcomes Through Community-Engaged Research at Minority Serving Institutions." This initiative aims to promote racial equity in research related to substance misuse and addiction outcomes by inviting applications for community-engaged research projects that focus on reducing disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations. The funding, part of NIDA's Racial Equity Initiative, emphasizes collaborative studies that prioritize community-defined issues, allowing for projects without the necessity of preliminary data. The total funding anticipated is around $2 million, with a maximum project period of five years and approximately two awards based on the merit of applications that reflect community partnership and innovative strategies. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by November 14, 2024, and can direct inquiries to the NIH OER Webmaster at OERWebmaster03@od.nih.gov for further information.
