Grant Description: Purpose. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Cutting-Edge Basic Research Award (CEBRA) is designed to foster highly innovative or conceptually creative research related to drug abuse and addiction and how to prevent and treat them. It supports research that is high-risk and potentially high-impact that is underrepresented or not included in NIDA's current portfolio. The proposed research should: (1) test a highly novel and significant hypothesis for which there is scant precedent or preliminary data and which, if confirmed, would have a substantial impact on current thinking; and/or (2) develop or adapt innovative techniques or methods for addiction research, or that have promising applicability to drug abuse research. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism with modifications. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total anticipated amount to be awarded is $2.5 M per year, for approximately 14 awards, contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
