>>  
>>  
>> The Special Populations Office of NIDA and the NIDA African American Researchers and Scholars Workgroup (AARSWG) are sponsoring an Addiction Research Training Institute (ARTI) designed to train early/new investigators to become funded researchers in the area of substance abuse and addiction among African Americans.  The four day training institute will be held on July 16 – 19, 2012 at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.
>>  
>> The ARTI will increase researchers’ knowledge and skills on conducting research in the Black population. Topics include: developing research skills, mental health, cultural competency, health disparities, grant writing and funding, and career development.
>>  
>> There is no fee for enrollment. NIDA will cover travel, lodging, and meal costs (per diem) for applicants invited to attend the ARTI.  Participants who live within a 50 mile radius of Morehouse School of Medicine are ineligible for lodging support.
>>  
>> ELIGIBILITY:
>>  
>> The ARTI is open to investigators who are underrepresented in substance abuse and addiction research and plan to submit a grant application to NIDA or other NIH institutes within one year of the training date. Applicants should have a terminal degree (i.e. Ph.D., M.D., DSW) and a strong interest in developing a research career in substance abuse and addiction, HIV/AIDS, or mental health issues effecting the Black population.
>>  
>> We strongly encourage investigators who are ready to submit a grant application, or have submitted a grant application to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and did not receive funding to apply.
>>  
>> Investigators who have attended a NIDA sponsored training workshop within the past two years or who have received independent funding (e.g. R01) are ineligible to attend.

>> 
>> INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
>>  
>> Applicants interested in attending the ARTI must submit a completed application no later than June 15, 2012. Applications will be reviewed by a NIDA committee and selected applicants will be notified by June 29, 2012.
