If you are planning to conduct research or prepare a research grant application, we are developing a range of resources that may help you in the section "Support for the Drug Abuse Researcher." Our Grant Writing Tutorial is great place to start. There are also specific Resources for Minority Researchers. If you would like to search for available Funding Opportunities or need grant application forms, you can do that too. For background research, try our various databases of abstracts, periodicals and government publications or refer to our award winning addiction links page.

This section of Drugnet is being developed under Small Business Innovative Research Contract N43DA-8-5060 with funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

The purpose of this Small Business Innovative Research project is to develop a set of robust Internet resources that will be made available to new researchers seeking opportunities that address the mission and priorities of NIDA. Danya International with its subcontractor, Aspen Systems Corporation, proposed a Web site solution for the community of drug abuse researchers, with a special emphasis on new and minority researchers. Drug abuse researchers at both non-profit and for-profit organizations and agencies such as medical schools, research institutes, hospitals, and local, state, and federal governmental agencies are in a prime position to reap the enormous benefits of Web-based systems. Among other things, researchers will be able to collaborate on an ongoing basis, share ideas and experiences, and obtain a wealth of resources not currently accessible on any other type of platform.
