The purpose of this RFA is to stimulate research on the development and evaluation of tobacco cessation interventions for adolescents, with an emphasis on ages 14-20. We have chosen to focus on this developmental period because it represents the area of greatest need with respect to the existing evidence on use patterns and treatment gaps. It also targets the developmental risk period for which we will see the maximum benefit from early intervention.

Disparities in maternal health outcomes is a public health crisis that requires new insights and solutions. The purpose of this initiativeadvancing integrated models (AIM) of careis to stimulate research to develop or evaluate supportive care models that address healthcare access or healthcare quality together with structural or social inequities in order to prevent adverse maternal health outcomes among racial and ethnic minority women. This includes original intervention research and research evaluating the impact of federal, tribal, state, local, or organizational policies and programs on maternal health outcomes. Outcomes of interest include pregnancy-related morbidity (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cerebrovascular disease, mental illness) including severe maternal morbidity; pregnancy-associated factors (e.g., violence exposure including firearm violence, substance use disorders, dietary patterns), and maternal mortality.

The goal of this FOA is to accelerate translation of research to improve early detection of head and neck cancers (HNC). This initiative will encourage development, evaluation, and validation of biomarkers for risk assessment, detection, and molecular diagnosis and prognosis of early HNC.

oThe goal of this FOA is to attract outstanding early-stage investigators to the field of chemistry and pharmacology of substance used disorders. The award will support those in an early stage of their career who may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant, but who propose high impact research and who show promise of being tomorrow's leaders in the field. In recent years, there have been significant advances in methods and technologies for the identification of novel targets, mechanisms, and pathways of interest to substance use disorders and in identification of probes and optimized compounds for developing novel therapeutic agents. This FOA is to enable investigators with knowledge in the emerging chemical, pharmacological, and drug discovery technologies to pursue innovative and transformative research on chemical and pharmacological aspects of substance use disorders.

Avenir means future in French, and this award looks toward the future by supporting early stage investigators proposing highly innovative studies. The award will support those in an early stage of their career who may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant, but who propose high impact research and who show promise of being tomorrow's leaders in the field. NIDA has developed two Avenir Award Programs, one for HIV/AIDS research and the other for genetics or epigenetics studies.

Avenir means future in French, and the Avenir Award Program for Research on Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS looks toward the future by supporting early stage investigators (ESI) proposing highly innovative studies that address NIH HIV/AIDS Research Priorities https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-137.html. The Avenir Award Program for Research on Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS will support creative individuals who wish to pursue innovative research at the nexus of substance abuse and HIV/AIDS. The nexus with drug abuse should be clearly described. The Avenir Award Program for Research on Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS will support research approaches, both basic and clinical, which have the potential to benefit substance using populations with or at risk for HIV/AIDS by reducing HIV incidence, improving therapies for HIV, reducing the impact of comorbid conditions, and ultimately, eradicating HIV.

Through this funding opportunity announcement, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to focus on the biological interactions of cancer health disparities in people living with HIV (PLWH) from underrepresented minority groups through basic mechanistic or translational studies to investigate how HIV interacts with health disparities to promote both non-AIDS and AIDS-defining cancer initiation, progression, and the resulting pathogenic disease sequelae.

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage behavioral intervention development research to test efficacy, conduct clinical trials, examine mechanisms of behavior change, determine dose-response, treatment optimization, and/or ascertain best sequencing of behavioral, combined, sequential, or integrated behavioral and pharmacological (1) drug abuse treatment interventions, including interventions for patients with comorbidities; (2) drug abuse treatment and adherence interventions; (3) drug abuse treatment and adherence interventions that utilize technologies to boost effects and increase implementability and sustainability; (4) interventions to prevent the acquisition or transmission of HIV infection among individuals in drug abuse treatment; (5) interventions to promote adherence to drug abuse treatment, HIV and addiction medications; and (6) interventions to treat substance misuse and chronic pain. Research of interest includes but is not limited to Stage II and Stage III efficacy research.
