application forms
|
Twice a year (applications due March & October) |
Supports UW faculty for research in substance abuse. The principal goal of the Small Grants Program is to stimulate research by providing initial funding for promising pilot projects which may ultimately be developed into full research studies with outside grant support. Drug abuse research is interpreted broadly to include a full range of topics from basic studies of the pharmacology of drugs of abuse to studies of clinical treatment strategies, prevention, and social policy issues. The current limit for funding is $20,000. |
