Details:
NCIPC supports K01 grants to help ensure the availability of an adequate number of trained scientists to address critical public health research questions to prevent polydrug use and overdose.
Applicants must propose a research project that aims to better understand and identify risk and protective factors related to polydrug initiation, use, and escalation. This could include, but is not limited to, co-use of opioids, stimulants, and/or cannabis. Additionally, research can focus the examination of potential moderators of risk and protective factors for polydrug initiation, use and escalation; and/or can investigate the relationship between polydrug use and overdose. Research should be conducted among persons experiencing a disproportionate burden of substance use disorders and overdose, which may include but are not limited, to those people in certain socio-demographic groups (e.g. non-English speaking populations, tribal populations, rural communities, racial/ethnic minority groups, sexual and gender minority groups), people experiencing certain social determinants of health (e.g., reduced economic stability; limited educational attainment, access or quality; limited healthcare access or quality including those who have been historically underserved or are uninsured; limited access to substance use treatment; limited health literacy; those in geographically underserved areas), people experiencing certain social or physical health conditions (e.g., homelessness, a mental health condition, chronic pain, incarceration or recent release from incarceration, a disability, a history of substance use disorders and/or overdose), and people who have experienced adverse childhood experiences; and people with a history of suicidal ideation or suicide attempt.
Funded research will support NCIPC’s goals to:
- Reduce opioid, stimulant and polysubstance overdose now;
- Identify and address emerging drug trends and associated public health outcomes; and
- Prevent drug use initiation or drug misuse among youth and young adults.
Applicants should propose to address one or more of the key research questions related to NCIPC’s research priority to identify risk and protective factors for drug overdose listed below:
- How do risk and protective factors and trajectories for use, misuse, substance use disorder, and/or overdose differ for prescription opioids, illicit opioids, and other emerging drug threats such as resurging methamphetamine and cocaine use?
- What are risk and protective factors and trajectories related to polydrug use and overdose, including co-use of opioid and non-opioid drugs, with a focus on methamphetamine, cocaine, and benzodiazepines?
- How do these risk and protective factors and trajectories vary by sociodemographic and geographic characteristics at all levels of the social ecology (described in the Background section of this NOFO)?
- What are risk and protective factors for early drug use initiation (i.e., particularly during youth and adolescence as described in the Background section of this NOFO) and escalation of use?
- What are the associations among adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), prescription opioid misuse and/or illicit drug use, and chronic pain, as well as moderators of these associations?
- What are norms and behaviors surrounding prescription opioid misuse, illicit drug use, overdose, and related health and behavioral outcomes? What are the best strategies to communicate about risk for these outcomes to the public?
