Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) PAR-18-091, Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan: Fogarty International Research Training Award, is also known as NCD-LIFESPAN.

NIDA international research priorities include opioid overdose and addiction, marijuana, drug-related HIV infection, amphetamine-type stimulants, inhalant abuse, smoking during pregnancy, and drugged driving.
