OpportunityTitle: Avant Garde/Avenir award for Investigators conducting high risk/high reward research on HIV and Substance Use (or Substance Use Disorders)
Description: The National Institue on Drug Abuse (NIDA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on pioneering research in HIV and Substance use/substance use disorder (SUD) research. The Avant-Garde Award Program is designed to support exceptionally creative scientists who propose cutting edge high risk and high reward and possibly transformative approaches to major challenges in biomedical and behavioral research on HIV in the context of substance use and/or SUDs. This Program includes supporting early stage investigators (ESI). Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the DP1 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of substance use and HIV are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
