New Funding Designed to Advance the Field of Recovery Science

The Peer Recovery Innovation Network’s funding opportunity has now closed. However, if you’d like to explore other opportunities, please visit the Consortium on Addiction Recovery Science (CoARS).

Overview

This funding mechanism will support robust recovery science pilot studies that aim to accelerate the transition from discoveries to active and effective peer and community-based recovery support programs.

Applications from the following areas of research are strongly encouraged but not required:

  • Role of social determinants of health/recovery on the impact of peer support
  • Availability and effectiveness of peer support services in different environments/settings
  • The role of race, ethnicity, and gender identity in peer support services effectiveness
  • Wellbeing and health of the peer support workforce
  • Best practices and strategies for helping peer staff assist individuals using non-abstinent recovery pathways.
  • Identifying key metrics and outcomes for the evaluation of peer recovery support services
  • Peer support staff biases towards multiple pathways of recovery
  • Peer support career and professional development pathways and compensation analysis of peer workers
  • Integration and evaluation of peer recovery support and peer harm reduction services and programs
  • Standardized data collection among peer support services
  • Hispanic/Latinx/Latine populations and other underserved populations (e.g., low SES)

Applications must be submitted through Survey Monkey Apply.

Eligibility

All project teams must include people with lived and living experience in intentional ways and be able to describe this inclusion on the project team in more than advisory capacities.

Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC), Hispanic/Latinx/Latine, and LGBTQ+ identifying individuals are especially encouraged to apply.

Funding

Applicants must budget for their application by considering the following amounts:

  • Internal Applicants (from UT Health San Antonio): up to $36,000 per award for direct costs.
  • External applicants (from entities other than UT Health San Antonio): up to $55,800 per award inclusive of direct plus indirect costs.

Approximately three projects will be funded per year, for project periods of up to 1 year.

Deadline

The deadline for application receipt is 11:59pm (CST) on 11/14/2024.

Note: Applicants are welcome to use any or all sections of the templates provided to organize their application but are not required to do so.

This pilot study mechanism is funded by an R24 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (1R24DA057659-01), and the Helping to End Addiction Long-term® Initiative (or NIH HEAL Initiative®).
