The purpose of the program is to expand the number of researchers who
conduct high-quality substance abuse services research, the study of how various factors (social,
financial, organizational, and personal) affect the need for and access
to substance abuse treatment, the quality and cost of substance abuse
treatment, and, ultimately, health and well being. The research domains are individuals, families, organizations,
institutions, communities and populations. Funded projects may address topics including the organization,
financing and delivery of substance abuse prevention and treatment
services, and the need for such services, as well as methodological
advances in health services research methods applicable to the study of
substance abuse issues. In addition, attention to substance abuse issues in racial/ethnic
minority populations, women, children and families, older adults, low
income groups, the homeless, those in rural settings, and persons with
mental illness is encouraged. Topics of special interest include the factors affecting the
supply of services, the cost effectiveness of prevention and treatment
services, barriers to access to care, and alternative sources of
treatment such as the criminal justice system and faith-based
organizations. Given the program’s focus, submission of proposals involving
secondary analyses of existing data sources is encouraged, while
submission of clinical research proposals is discouraged.

Eligible applicants Eligible applicants are domestic public or private, nonprofit entities. The statutory authority for this program precludes grants to for-profit organizations and any non-domestic entity. Students registered and in good standing at an accredited academic doctoral degree program (e.g., Ph.D., Sc.D., or Dr.P.H.), which requires a dissertation based on original research, may apply. The student must apply through an eligible institution that will administer the grant on his or her behalf. The dissertation must examine in a quantitative way a problem or issue in the area of substance abuse. Students in such fields as sociology, psychology, social work, biostatistics, epidemiology, economics, policy, management, medicine, nursing, public health or health services research are especially encouraged to apply. The student is the Principal Investigator and the institution is the applicant/grantee. In accordance with the Appropriations Act Ban, the doctoral student must be a citizen or a non-citizen national of the United States or an individual who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (i.e., in possession of an Alien Registration Receipt Card) at the time of application. To be eligible, given the goals of the program, the dissertation must be a major part of the training program and be in an area of interest to SAMHSA with demonstrated relevance to the issues pertaining to substance abuse services in the United States. Requirements for the doctoral degree, other than the dissertation and any other contemporaneous requirements, must be completed before the funds provided can be spent. Confirmation that all requirements other than the dissertation have been completed and notification that the dissertation proposal has been accepted must be made in writing by the chairperson of the committee and submitted before initiation of the grant. SAMHSA will make the final determination of eligibility for support. Restrictions on eligibility are based on the program’s goals and the desire to assure a successful outcome for the student. |
