Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
Funds basic research on skin injury from chemicals identified as public health threats, looking for shared pathways a single countermeasure could target.
Funds building and pilot-testing an HIV prevention, treatment or services intervention for people who use drugs — behavioural, social, structural or combined.
Funds pilot work that is both necessary and sufficient to plan a later phase II, III or IV trial — with no further studies needed in between.
Funds pilot work before a larger trial of how addiction treatment and related services are delivered, paid for and reached.
Funds the same preparatory work before a cancer prevention trial, as an ordinary grant rather than a cooperative agreement.
Funds the groundwork before an alcohol treatment-gap study — building the team, the protocol and the tools, not running the study itself.
Funds the groundwork before an alcohol treatment trial — team, protocol and tools. The title requires a trial; the published summary describes a different call.
Funds a small feasibility trial of a complementary or integrative therapy, to answer the questions a full-scale trial would otherwise trip over.
Funds pilot mental health services research that is deliberately not a precursor to testing an intervention.
Funds pilot work on family navigation models that divert non-urgent mental health visits away from the emergency department.
Funds the planning work behind a large vision research study — the protocol and procedures manual, not the study itself.
Funds research building and testing health interventions for Alaska Native and American Indian communities, from cause to scale-up.
Funds a pilot trial of a behavioural sleep intervention for adolescents and young adults who have a mental health disorder or are at risk of one.
