The National Institute on Drug
Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health,
supports more than 85 percent of the world’s research on the
health aspects of drug abuse and addiction. For the past two
decades, NIDA has been exploring the biomedical and behavioral
foundations of drug abuse. NIDA’s scientific research program
addresses the most fundamental and essential questions about drug
abuse, ranging from its causes and consequences to its prevention
and treatment. The Institute also carries out several diverse
activities for rapid dissemination of research information and its
implementation in policy and practice. To ensure minority
scientists and minority issues are adequately and appropriately
represented in drug abuse research, NIDA offers a variety of
funding and career opportunities.
