    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and specifically the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has announced a funding opportunity aimed at exploring the neurocognitive mechanisms linked to structural racism and its effects on substance use disorder (SUD) trajectories. This initiative invites clinical research applications from minority-serving institutions to address health disparities related to substance use. The goal is to investigate the complex interplay between structural racism and neurocognition to inform preventative interventions against SUD. The funding opportunity has a phased award mechanism, allowing for up to five years of support, with an initial R61 phase focused on exploratory research leading to a possible R33 phase for expanded study. Eligible organizations include institutions that educate underrepresented populations and that have received limited prior NIH funding. The announcement emphasizes community engagement in research, the need for a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives, and adherence to NIH’s policies on inclusion and diversity. This funding is part of NIDA’s overarching Racial Equity Initiative, reflecting a commitment to promote racial equity in research, reduce health disparities, and improve the health of minority populations affected by substance use-related issues.
