The Sloan Research Fellowship Program recognizes and rewards outstanding early-career faculty who have the potential to revolutionize their fields of study. Successful candidates for a Fellowship generally have a strong record of significant independent research accomplishments that demonstrate creativity and the potential to become future leaders in the scientific community. Nominated candidates are typically several years beyond the completion of their Ph.D. $75,000 awarded to the candidate's institution to be used over a two-year period for any activity supportive of the fellow's research.

• Application budgets are limited to less than $500,000 (direct costs) per year.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity encourages collaborations between the life and physical sciences that: 1) apply a multidisciplinary bioengineering approach to the solution of a biomedical problem; and 2) integrate, optimize, validate, translate or otherwise accelerate the adoption of promising tools, methods, and techniques for a specific research or clinical problem in basic, translational, or clinical science and practice. An application may propose design-directed, developmental, discovery-driven, or hypothesis-driven research and is appropriate for small teams applying an integrative approach to increase our understanding of and solve problems in biological, clinical, or translational science. This NOFO will support clinical trials that test functionality or validate performance in the chosen setting.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to facilitate the entry of investigators into multiple high-priority areas of substance use research, including comorbidity with HIV. The Science Track Award for Research Transition (START) Program aims to provide investigators with the opportunity to gather preliminary data that will assist them in securing future research grants and advancing their scientific careers.

This funding will support basic, clinical, translational, epidemiological, or intervention science in the field of substance use. To develop new skillsets, knowledge, and/or approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use, misuse, addiction, drug overdose, and related health outcomes, including HIV/AIDS.
