Overview

The Avenir Award Program offers support for early-stage investigators who propose highly innovative studies in the fields of Genetics or Epigenetics of Substance Use Disorders. The program also accepts clinical trials as optional. The term "Avenir" translates to "future" in French, highlighting the program's intent to nurture future leaders in the respective fields.

This award is tailored to support those who are in the early stages of their careers and may not have the preliminary data required for a more extensive R01 grant, yet propose research with a high potential impact. By successfully showing promise in their field, they indicate potential to become future leaders.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has conceptualized two separate Avenir Award Programs. One program is specifically dedicated to HIV/AIDS research, and the other primarily focuses on genetics or epigenetics studies related to Substance Use Disorders.
