The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant opportunity titled "Adolescent Overdose Prevention and SUD Treatment Initiative (R34 - Clinical Trial Optional)". This grant aims to support pilot work and preliminary research to prepare for large-scale trials that will guide the expansion of effective overdose prevention, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, and recovery services for adolescents. The studies funded by this grant may include examining changes in risk behaviors associated with overdose, such as using drugs alone or carrying/using Naloxone. The desired outcomes include harm reduction, recovery, treatment retention and effectiveness, quality of care, patient-centered outcomes, and implementation factors. The goal is to develop interventions that are effective, practical, cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable in addressing overdose prevention, SUD treatment, and recovery services for youth. Other eligible applicants include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), eligible agencies of the Federal Government, faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized), non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (Foreign Organizations), regional organizations, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and U.S. Territories or Possessions. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The deadline for applications is March 13, 2024.
