Description
The Addictions, Drug & Alcohol Institute (ADAI) Small Grants Program at the University of Washington supports innovative pilot projects and developmental research related to alcohol and drug use and addiction. The program aims to stimulate new research directions, spanning from basic pharmacology to clinical treatment, prevention, and social policy. Its primary goal is to enable UW researchers to gather preliminary data and insights that can be leveraged for larger, externally funded studies, ultimately advancing the field and addressing substance use problems.
