ADAI Small Grants: Fall Cycle is Open; Apply by October 15, 2025!
08/21/2025
ADAI works to stimulate and facilitate UW research on alcohol and drug use and addiction through its Small Grants research program, which awards funds to UW researchers for pilot studies and developmental research.
Applications for the fall cycle are now being accepted; apply by 5pm PT October 15, 2025!
Research funded through the small grants program has covered a broad range of study related to alcohol and drug use and addiction, from pharmacology to clinical and psychosocial research. UW researchers should consider the Small Grants Program as a resource to help develop research through initial funding for promising pilot projects which may ultimately be developed into full studies with outside funding.
For detailed information, check out the RFA/Guidelines for ADAI Small Grants proposals. You can also find descriptions of previously funded projects on our Small Grants page.
