Description

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks to advance its mission by establishing a Center that educates and supports researchers in formal product development for new substance use disorder (SUD) pharmacotherapeutics. The Center will also help advance the best concepts through initial experiments via technical and financial support. Previous NIDA-supported initiatives in early translational research have shown that drug addiction researchers are eager to acquire formal product development skills and access technical expertise and support. Prospective applicants are encouraged to: develop plans for a product development curriculum to be taught to SUD researchers, outline outreach and networking initiatives to engage the research community and recruit researchers' concepts for development within the Center, and describe the infrastructure support that may be provided for initial experiments.
