NIH - Katrina Effects - Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Notice of Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities:
PAR-05-150
Expansion to Include Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Pertaining to Hurricane Katrina
Notice Number: NOT-DA-05-013
Purpose
This notice is to inform the scientific community that the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) wish to encourage meritorious applications to study the effects of Hurricane Katrina in order to learn how to prevent and treat complications related to alcohol and drug use, misuse, and disorders more effectively. Researchers investigating alcohol and drug-related outcomes from the effects of Hurricane Katrina are requested to use the PAR-05-150 “Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities”. At present, PAR-05-150 is co-sponsored by NIDA and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and is limited to services research. This announcement extends this PAR to include NIAAA and NIDA for studies examining the impact of Hurricane Katrina on alcohol and drug use, misuse and disorders. Please note that researchers interested in conducting studies on mental health aspects of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath are referred to the NIMH program announcement “Rapid Assessment Post-Impact of Disaster (RAPID)” at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-02-133.html). Additional information about the NIMH response to Hurricane Katrina is available at: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/researchfunding/hurricanekatrina-research.cfm.
The expansion of the Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities Program Announcement is intended to support research encompassing scientific areas including, but not limited to, epidemiological, prevention, treatment development, clinical neuroscience, and services research related to alcohol and drug use, misuse and disorders. In addition, investigators are encouraged to examine the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the intersection of substance use/substance use disorders with HIV/AIDS risk factors.
Applications responding to this announcement must address research questions providing an uncommon and scientifically significant research opportunity that requires the project be initiated with minimum delay. Three features distinguish such research and include: 1) the study's scientific value and feasibility are clear, 2) rapid review and funding are required in order for the scientific question to be answered and for the research design to be carried out, and 3) the knowledge gained from the study cannot be obtained through the regular NIH cycle of review and award.
