Translational Resource Centers to Build Bridges Between Substance Use Epidemiology/Etiology and Prevention Intervention Research (U24 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-25-040 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this concept is to facilitate the formation and maintenance of multidisciplinary research teams ready to employ epidemiological and/or etiological datasets and analyses to answer substance use prevention research questions and apply findings to intervention development or implementation. Projects supported through this concept will combine hands-on meeting formats, including both sandpit and hackathon approaches, with activities to sustain new research teams and networks, creating a foundational structure for research programs that have impact across disciplines.
