The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a new grant opportunity, numbered RFA-DA-25-030, focused on the “Adolescent Overdose Prevention and SUD (Substance Use Disorder) Treatment Initiative.” This grant falls under the discretionary category and is intended for research in the fields of education and health, with a specific focus on alcohol and drug abuse and addiction research programs. The grant aims to support exploratory and developmental research on adolescent illicit fentanyl use and overdose patterns, particularly among youth at high risk for overdose.
The funding opportunity encourages research that seeks to identify effective targets for overdose prevention and SUD treatment and recovery among adolescents. Prospective studies may employ various approaches, including leveraging existing data sources, survey research, social network analysis, development of new methods, and feasibility research. Key outcomes of interest encompass the prevalence of overdose, reduction in substance use (especially fentanyl or drugs laced with fentanyl), unintentional use or overdose, understanding risk groups, addressing stigma, and exploring family and environmental risk and protective factors. The research will also delve into treatment engagement, youth perceptions of substance use, and optimistic bias. This grant opportunity is open to a wide range of applicants, including tribal organizations, governments at different levels, non-profits, educational institutions, and for-profit organizations. The deadline for applications is March 13, 2024, and the initiative underscores the NIH’s commitment to addressing critical health issues related to substance use and overdose in adolescents.
