The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
This grant opportunity is designed to support early career researchers or clinicians with foundational backgrounds in addiction, providing them with the opportunity to develop expertise in implementation science. The grant focuses on training in implementation science methods and conducting research projects within the four priority domains of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy: primary prevention (including appropriate opioid prescribing), Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support services. The ultimate goal of the grant is to nurture a new generation of implementation researchers equipped to contribute to mitigating the overdose crisis, enhance the quality of addiction clinical practice, and become leading figures and mentors in the field of implementation science.
