Capacity Building and Seed Funding Grants

About

NCCRED is releasing Grants to fund innovative Clinical Research for the treatment of substance use disorder due to methamphetamine or emerging drugs of concern. 

Capacity Building Grants

This funding will provide financial support as a value-add to currently established investigator-initiated clinical trials. Applicants are encouraged to apply for funding that will enable the study to answer additional study questions, build research capacity, and produce translational research results. The initial funding round specifically targets proposals investigating treatment options for methamphetamine use disorder.

Seed Funding Grants 

This funding will provide financial support as a seed-funding grant to establish investigator-initiated clinical trials / treatment research. The initial funding round specifically targets proposals investigating treatment options for substance use disorder due to methamphetamine or emerging drugs of concern.

Who we are

We are a new centre bringing clinicians and researchers together to find and share new treatments that can make a difference to people’s lives.

Our aim is to support clinicians and clinical services to detect and respond to new drug health problems.

We will do this by building clinical capacity to conduct research, and rapidly translate these findings into clinical practice.

We will work together with partners to drive innovation and excellence in the treatment of methamphetamine and other emerging drugs of concern.

People who use drugs, their families and carers, and their communities, are at the core of what we do.

Funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health, the Centre is formed by a consortium between: The National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA, Flinders University); The National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC, The University of New South Wales); The National Drug Research Institute (NDRI, Curtin University); and St Vincent’s Health Australia.
