Unintentional Poisoning from Prescription Drug Overdoses in Adults (R21)

This funding opportunity announcement encourages research that will build the scientific base for the prevention of unintentional poisonings from drug overdoses in the adult population (ages 15 to 64 years). It solicits proposals from organizations to conduct exploratory/developmental research that evaluates novel approaches to drug overdose prevention and addresses the NCIPC’s research agenda priorities related to unintentional poisoning. In addition, this research is consistent with CDER's mission to ensure safety of pharmaceuticals and the Center's Safe Use initiative to enhance safety of marketed drugs through partnerships with the health care community. It is meant to engage professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines in epidemiology, community medicine, pharmacology, biostatistics, public policy, public health law, justice, and behavioral and social sciences.
