Inhalant Abuse: Supporting Broad-Based Research Approaches (R03): - The goal of this funding opportunity announcement is to encourage research on all aspects of inhalant abuse (i.e., epidemiology; prevention, treatment and service delivery; antecedents, consequences and neurobiological mechanisms).-Inhalants are volatile substances that produce chemical vapors that can be inhaled to induce a psychoactive or mind-altering effect. Prevalence data indicate that inhalant abuse continues to be a major public health concern among grade school children, adolescents and some adults. Inhalants pose a particular hazard since they are readily accessible, legal and inexpensive. They often are abused by young children and can be highly toxic or lethal. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invites qualified researchers to submit research grant applications aimed at improving our understanding of inhalant abuse, particularly among pre-adolescent and adolescent populations.-The total amount to be awarded is contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. -This funding opportunity utilizes the R03 mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope (PA-05-099) that solicits applications under the traditional research project grant (R01) and PA-06-327 that solicits applications under the exploratory/developmental grant (R21) mechanism.-The R03 is intended to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources.
