NIDA Core "Center of Transformative Science" Grant Program
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Institute on Drug Abuse, within the National Institutes of Health, is seeking Core Center of Transformative Science grants to support centers that advance research on substance use, addiction, and HIV. These centers are intended to bring together investigators from NIH and other federal, non-federal, and eligible non-U.S. sources to provide shared research resources, administrative support, and a strong research environment for innovative interdisciplinary work rather than incremental projects. Applicants should propose a single center aligned to an institutional theme, integrate related funded projects, and emphasize collaboration, data and resource sharing, and opportunities for new and early-career investigators; shared resources may include capabilities such as imaging or small-molecule chemistry support.
