The National Institutes of Health are soliciting applications for research on addiction and mental-health problems in rural and frontier communities, with an eye on enhancing knowledge about effective prevention and treatment and service delivery.

The application process is rather open-ended -- funding requests are being accepted through 2009 -- and the size and duration of awards will vary. Applications should use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) process, although NIH also is encouraging applications through the Clinical Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R34) process.
