NIDA Renews Call For Targeted Research on Ethical Issues Involving Drug Abuse and Drug-Use-Related HIV/AIDS
NIH has recently highlighted opportunities in research and research training in the area of ethics. Ethical considerations in both drug abuse and HIV/AIDS frequently involve unique issues that require a more specific approach. Religious, cultural, and family values surrounding drug abuse and HIV/AIDS influence clinical and research decisionmaking for both patient and provider.
To stimulate the study of ethical considerations associated with drug abuse and drug-use-related HIV/AIDS in health care, biomedical, and research environments, the National Institute on Drug Abuse/Center on AIDS and Other Medical Consequences of Drug Abuse (NIDA/CAMCODA) is encouraging investigator-initiated research and studies focusing on patient/participant or research process issues. NIDA/CAMCODA support is primarily provided through the following NIH program announcements:
- PA-02-103 Research on Ethical Issues in Human Studies
- PAR-98-005 Short-Term Courses in Research Ethics
- PAR-98-006
Mentored Scientist Development Award in Research Ethics
Potential applicants should direct inquiries to CAMCODA ethics contact: Mr. Noble Jones, Health Scientist Administrator, e-mail: nj11q@nih.gov. He can be reached at the Center by phone: 301-413-1801 or fax: 301-443-4100.
Current program announcements may be obtained from NIDA's Grants Management Branch at 301-443-6710 or via the Internet (http://www.grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files).
