Funding Opportunity Purpose: The goal of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to address the opioid crisis and/or overdose events by supporting action-oriented research, accelerating the translation of addiction epidemiology, prevention, treatment services, and recovery research to practice. Proposed studies may target the individual, provider, organizational, community, or system level. This initiative prioritizes replicable and scalable approaches for accelerating the routine use of effective, evidence-based prevention, treatment and recovery interventions and services. The translation of research to practice and research relevant to chronic pain comorbid with substance use is also a priority. Research may deploy a variety of methods and approaches, including but not limited to identifying and characterizing malleable factors, developing and testing interventions and implementation strategies, deploying and testing collaborative data science approaches, and/or developing and testing approaches that integrate the collaboration of researchers and decision-makers at any levels (e.g., clinical-, health system-, public health- or policy-level). Funding Opportunity Goal(s): To support basic, clinical, translational, and implementation research in the field of substance use. To develop new knowledge and approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of drug use, misuse, and addiction, drug overdose, and related health outcome, including HIV/AIDS. Application due date: Multiple dates, see announcement.

Funding Opportunity Purpose: 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. Funding Opportunity Goal(s): To 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. Application due date: Multiple dates, see announcement.

The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (RSTMH) journals, International Health and Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene are currently recruiting new reviewers to help the author community improve their papers and ensure the integrity of that we publish research. Reviewers provide feedback to authors that helps make their paper stronger. The RSTMH is a charity and membership society that has been dedicated to improving tropical medicine and global health since 1907. Our ambition is to save lives and improve health around the world through increased access to and greater equity in global healthcare. Who can become a reviewer? You can be at any stage of your research career, provided you can objectively evaluate the quality and rigour of a research paper. We welcome reviewers from all countries. We also encourage collaborative reviews, where senior researchers review papers in collaboration with junior lab members (note, this must be disclosed in the ‘Confidential Comments to the Editor’ section of the reviewer report form). How to volunteer to be a reviewer? If you are interested in reviewing for us, please send a copy of your CV via email to Thomas.pinfield@rstmh.org, along with a short statement which outlines your research interests/expertise.

Boost offers comprehensive training opportunities for immunization professionals that are both adaptive and technical. Our adaptive trainings pair with a specific immunization topic (e.g., life course immunization) and focus on building, developing and deepening leadership skills for community organizing. Graduates of our advanced training develop the capacity to deliver their own training to the Boost Community or within their own communities. The Stop TB Partnership is a supporting partner.

The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research institutes to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry. Searle Scholars Award Grants are set at $450,000 for a three-year period with $150,000 payable each year. Participating institutions may nominate outstanding early-career scientists to apply for the program. Applications are accepted annually from June through September, only through an online application system. Please refer to the website for the details.

Late-breaker abstract submissions are open from 16 June 2026 to 22 July 2026.
