From NSW Health:

Applications for Expressions of Interest are now open for the NSW Health Drug and Alcohol Research Grants Program 2011/12

The NSW Health Drug and Alcohol Research Grants Program is administered through the Mental Health & Drug and Alcohol Office. Each year a small number of research grants are allocated to contribute towards improving evidence based practice in drug and alcohol services and programs in NSW.

Applications are invited from researchers and clinicians working in the drug and alcohol field in the following four priority areas of investigation:

1. Workforce planning and development;
2. Clinical service research;
3. Health promotion and prevention; and
4. The impact of drug and alcohol use on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.

Priority will be given to research projects in the above areas that have a particular focus on vulnerable population groups.
