    The Imaging - Science Track Award for Research Transition (I/START), managed by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), supports small research grants (R03) aimed at advancing neuroimaging methodologies among both new and established investigators. This funding opportunity emphasizes the importance of obtaining preliminary "proof of concept" neuroimaging data to facilitate significant insights into central nervous system dysfunction related to substance use disorders. Eligible applicants can include higher education institutions, nonprofits, state and local governments, and for-profit organizations. Applications are due periodically, with a maximum budget of $150,000 available for one year. The grant is designed for discrete, time-bound projects and does not necessitate preliminary data, making it particularly suitable for pilot studies. The proposal should fit within specific areas of interest to NIDA, such as the neurobiology of addiction and the implications of neurobiological changes due to substance use. Compliance with application instructions and NIH policies is critical for submission success, reflecting the agency’s commitment to cultivating research capabilities in the realm of substance use and neuroimaging technologies.
