NIH Research Project Grant

High Priority HIV and Substance Use Research (R01)

Funds research where HIV and drug use intersect. Preliminary data are compulsory, and the work must sit on NIH's published HIV priorities.

HIV and drug use are entangled in ways that neither field studies well on its own. The National Institute on Drug Abuse funds work at that intersection.

The notice asks for innovative projects that could open new areas of HIV and AIDS research, or lead to new routes to prevention, treatment and cure among people who use drugs. Everything from basic science to clinical and implementation research

High-priority research at the intersection of HIV and substance use — basic science through clinical and implementation research — that could open new areas of HIV and AIDS research or lead to new routes to prevention, treatment and cure among people who use drugs, aligned to NIH's published HIV and AIDS research priorities.
