K12 Research in Addictions Scholars Program (KRASP) — funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
This program is targeting the development of early career researchers in substance use and substance use disorders, with a focus on clinical research. (Preclinical researchers can be considered if there is a clear and compelling translational aspect of their work, but the emphasis is on developing clinical researchers in substance abuse.) Candidates must have been appointed to the faculty within the last 5 years, and hold the rank of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Research Associate, or the equivalent. KRASP will provide salary support for up to four scholars, two physicians and two with other doctoral degrees (e.g., PhDs). For physicians, salary of up to $100,000 (plus fringe) with a commitment of at least 75% effort (with some exceptions possible) is available. For non-physicians, salary of up to $70,500 (plus fringe) with a commitment of at least 75% effort is available. Funding for up to three years is possible, contingent on performance each year. In addition, funds for the scholar’s research of up to $50,000 per year is available. Candidates may be from the JHU Schools of Engineering, Medicine, Nursing, or Public Health.
Further information on the program can be found at its website.
Anticipated opening for applications starting the first week of January 2026 and closing the application portal at the end of February. Funding for scholars would start July 1, 2026.

Effective fiscal year 2027, we will be implementing the following fee structure for participating in the CCDA adjunct program. See letter for more information.
- Annual support fee: $9,000 per CCDA adjunct and $8,000 per registry data manager. CCDA adjuncts have access to pull data from various institutional data sources and thus typically require more CCDA staff support; registry data managers are limited to the data in their provisioned registry and need less support.
- One-time onboarding fee: $5,000 for new CCDA adjuncts and registry data managers. This fee covers interviewing candidates proposed by the sponsoring department, initial training, mentoring, and review. This fee is in addition to the annual support fee.
