HEAL Initiative: Career Development Awards in Implementation Science for Substance Use Prevention and Treatment (K01 - Clinical Trial Required)

This opportunity provides career development awards in implementation science for substance use prevention and treatment. The goal is to build a cadre of implementation researchers who can contribute to addressing the current overdose crisis and develop research careers that will impact the quality of addiction clinical practice. The awards will support training in implementation science methods and a research project that applies these methods to at least one of the four priority domains of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy: primary prevention, OUD treatment, harm reduction, and/or recovery support services. • The opportunity is open to early career researchers or early career clinicians with foundational backgrounds in addiction. • The awards will provide funding for a career development project. • The project should focus on implementation science and its application to substance use prevention and treatment. • The priority domains of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy are primary prevention, OUD treatment, harm reduction, and/or recovery support services.
