Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 24 048
Providing Research Education Experiences to Enhance Inclusivity for a Diverse Substance Use and Addiction Scientific Workforce (PAR-24-048) is an NIH Research Education Program (R25) grant opportunity focused on strengthening the pipeline of researchers in substance use and addiction science by expanding access to high-quality research education. The core purpose is to support structured educational activities that encourage people from diverse backgrounds, particularly individuals from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue additional training and ultimately careers in research. In practice, this type of R25 program is meant to build skills, mentorship connections, and research exposure in ways that improve entry, persistence, and advancement in the scientific workforce addressing substance use and addiction.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the education and health area and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.273 and 93.279. It is explicitly labeled "Clinical Trials Not Allowed," which means applicants must design research education experiences that do not include proposing or conducting clinical trials as part of the supported activities. The emphasis is on education, training experiences, and career development-oriented programming rather than trial-based human subjects intervention research.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (when not an institution of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities that meet NIH eligibility rules. The announcement also highlights additional categories that may apply, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, Indian/Native American tribal governments (other than federally recognized), and U.S. territories or possessions. This breadth is intended to encourage a wide range of institutions, including those deeply connected to underrepresented communities, to develop research education programs.
At the same time, the opportunity places clear restrictions on foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply. Non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. In addition, foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not permitted. In other words, the applicant organization and the supported program activities must remain within allowable domestic boundaries under NIH policy.
The funding opportunity is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The original closing date listed for this opportunity is November 13, 2026. Some common fields such as an award ceiling and the number of expected awards are not provided in the source data shown, which typically means applicants should rely on the full NIH funding announcement for budget guidance, allowable costs, and anticipated award details.
Overall, PAR-24-048 supports the creation or expansion of research education experiences that are designed to broaden participation in substance use and addiction research. The central theme is inclusivity: developing educational pathways, mentorship structures, and training environments that help diversify the scientific workforce and strengthen long-term capacity in addiction and substance use research, while staying within the R25 education-focused framework and avoiding clinical trial activity.Apply for PAR 24 048
