AIDS-Science Track Award for Research Transition (R03)

Description
Total Grants Amount: $200,000 over a 2-year period.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks to facilitate the entry of investigators to the area of drug abuse research on HIV/AIDS, including both newly independent investigators (independent of a mentor but without R01 funding) and early career investigators who seek to add research on the intersection of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS to their research programs (applicants may have an existing R01 grant but not one combining drug abuse and HIV/AIDS research). HIV/AIDS research is a major focus at NIDA, but it is often difficult for new investigators to obtain independent funding to generate preliminary data or for early career investigators doing drug abuse or HIV/AIDS research to identify a source of funding that would allow them to expand their research to study the intersection of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS research. To promote the entry of new investigators into research on the natural history, epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of HIV/AIDS in drug abusers, this AIDS--Science Track Award for Research Transition (A-START) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) (R03) will support: Pilot or feasibility studies; Secondary analysis of existing data; Small, self-contained research projects; Development of research methodology; Development of new research technology.
It is expected that investigators who are funded under A-START will use their data to develop R01 grant applications on the intersection of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS.
Applications under this FOA are welcomed from all areas of HIV/AIDS research that NIDA supports.

Application Process
Prepare all applications using the SF424 (R&R) application forms and in accordance with the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide. The SF424 (R&R) Application Guide is critical to submitting a complete and accurate application to NIH.

Agency-specific instructions for such fields are clearly identified in the Application Guide. For additional information, see “Frequently Asked Questions – Application Guide, Electronic Submission of Grant Applications.”

The SF424 (R&R) application is comprised of data arranged in separate components. Some components are required, others are optional. The forms package associated with this FOA in Grants.gov/APPLY will include all applicable components, required and optional. A completed application in response to this FOA will include the following components:

Required Components:
