NIDA Racial Equity Initiative: Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs)

 These NOFOs are focused on research to advance equity for racial and/or ethnic minority populations in the United States. The NOFOs call for innovative, solution-oriented, community-engaged research from research teams with a commitment to broad dissemination of findings. Applications are expected to incorporate diverse perspectives. Please note that some NOFOs are open to all institutions, and some are limited to applications from Minority Serving Institutions (see Section III of the respective NOFOs for eligibility criteria). 

A recording of the TA webinar that was held on September 26, 2022, during which NIDA staff provided an overview of the NOFOs and responded to questions, can be found at: https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=45937. Please note that RFA-DA-23-025: NIDA REI: Coordination Center to Support Racial Equity and Substance Use Disparities Research (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)  NOFO has expired. 

The NOFOs and webinar information can be found on the NIDA Racial Equity Initiative Funding Priority website: https://nida.nih.gov/about-nida/racial-equity-initiative/funding-priorities. The NOFOs are also listed in the NIH Guide: https://grants.nih.gov/funding/searchguide/index.html#/
