HEAL Initiative: Translating Addiction Research into Practice

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released a crucial funding opportunity (Grants.gov ID: 362672) aimed at addressing the opioid crisis and overdose events. This initiative focuses on actionable research to accelerate the translation of addiction epidemiology, prevention, treatment, and recovery into real-world practice.

Scope

Proposed studies can target individual, provider, organizational, community, or system levels. The primary requirements for successful applications include:

  • Addressing the opioid crisis through action-oriented research.
  • Prioritizing replicable and scalable approaches for translating evidence-based treatments.
  • Deploying methods to identify malleable factors and test implementation strategies.
  • Integrating collaboration between researchers and decision-makers at clinical, public health, or policy levels.

Eligibility

This funding is accessible to a wide array of domestic entities. Eligible applicants include Native American tribal governments, non-profits, for-profit organizations, independent school districts, and higher education institutions.

Partnership

While non-domestic (foreign) entities are not eligible to apply directly, foreign components are allowed as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. This provides an avenue for U.S.-based institutions to form international partnerships and incorporate global expertise.

Deadline: Applications close on February 9, 2029.
