The Cutting-Edge Basic Research Awards (CEBRA) by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) aim to support innovative research related to substance use disorders (SUDs). This grant encourages high-risk, high-impact projects that could transform how we understand and treat SUDs. The research should either develop new methods for addiction research or test groundbreaking hypotheses that could change current perspectives.
Who it's for: This grant is for researchers and organizations interested in pioneering studies on substance use disorders. Eligible applicants include various government entities, educational institutions, small businesses, tribal organizations, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations.
