This grant is for supporting promising early-stage investigators in the field of genetics or epigenetics of substance use disorders. The NIDA Avenir Award Program aims to foster future leaders by funding highly innovative research projects, particularly from those who may not yet have the extensive preliminary data typically required for an R01 grant. This program seeks high-impact studies that demonstrate significant potential, enabling researchers to explore novel concepts and make substantial contributions to understanding the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of substance use disorders. It provides a unique opportunity for talented scientists to pursue groundbreaking ideas and establish their independent research careers, ultimately advancing the future of addiction science.

| Description: | Avenir means future in French, and this award looks toward the future by supporting early stage investigators proposing highly innovative studies. The award will support those in an early stage of their career who may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant, but who propose high impact research and who show promise of being tomorrow’s leaders in the field. NIDA has developed two Avenir Award Programs, one for HIV/AIDS research and the other for genetics or epigenetics studies. |
