The Rural Drug Addiction Research (RDAR) Center is pleased to announce an opportunity for pilot funding that is open to all disciplines through an NIH/NIGMS grant. Applicants must be full-time faculty in the University of Nebraska system who are eligible for NIH funding. There are no disciplinary, department, or college restrictions on applicants. Successful applicants must link their proposal to a part of the RDAR Center’s mission, strategies, and/or the focus areas described in detail within the attached RFA. Cross-institutional collaboration is highly encouraged. The application submission deadline is April 12^th, by 5:00pm (CDT).

The RDAR Center is dedicated to understanding the causes and impacts of rural drug addiction and its related challenges and harms. The RDAR Center’s long-term research mission is to better understand and mitigate rural drug addiction and its personal and social harms by linking pre-clinical studies to field-based behavioral, neural, social, and clinical research. Center-sponsored projects will range from the microscopic world of the synapse in human biology to the social and geographical environments in which drug use interventions take place, exploring rural drug addiction from synapse to society.
