Alcohol and Other Substance Use Research Education Programs for Health Professionals (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Alcohol and Other Substance Use Research Education Programs for Health Professionals is a grant initiative fostered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Education Program (R25). This program does not allow for clinical trials. Instead, its central aim is to subsidize educational endeavors that advance comprehension of biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research surrounding alcohol and other substance use disorders, along with the relevant implications.

This particular program, backed by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), strongly encourages innovative educational activities, with the primary intention being Outreach. This involves projects specifically crafted to educate practicing healthcare professionals about the latest scientific research findings in areas like neurobiology, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment regarding alcohol and other substance use disorders along with allied health conditions.

The ultimate goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to better equip healthcare professionals to provide improved care to people who use alcohol and other substances by incorporating the latest research and knowledge into their practices.
