The International Program and the Division of Epidemiology, Services and Prevention Research of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) will host the 13th Annual NIDA International SPR Poster Session at the SPR 28th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, May 26–May 29, 2020. The poster session will take place in conjunction with the SPR opening reception and Poster I session, following the preconference workshops on May 26, 2020. Posters should highlight drug and/or alcohol use prevention research, including research on drug/alcohol-related HIV/AIDS prevention. We seek variation in study designs, focus (e.g., formative work, outcome, implementation science), populations, and data types (e.g., quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods approaches, program data, surveillance data, observational research, clinical trial data). Abstracts should include completed analyses. “Findings to be presented” abstracts will not be considered. Eligible research must have been conducted in international settings by international researchers, domestic researchers, or binational research teams.

Poster abstract submissions for the NIDA International SPR Poster Session will undergo the same peer review process as other submissions for SPR. If you have questions about your eligibility to submit a poster abstract for the NIDA International SPR Poster Session, please contact Richard Jenkins, Ph.D., Prevention Research Branch, NIDA, at jenkinsri@mail.nih.gov, or Lisa Jordre at ljordre@iqsolutions.com

International Travel Awards for the NIDA International SPR Poster Session

A limited number of travel awards will be available for international researchers whose abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the 2020 NIDA International SPR Poster Session. The awards, which are sponsored by NIDA, provide partial support to cover costs associated with attending the 2020 NIDA International SPR Poster Session and the full SPR meeting.

To be eligible, applicants for these awards must:

  • Use the SPR online abstract submission system to submit a poster abstract that is accepted for presentation at the NIDA International SPR Poster Session.
  • Register for and participate in the full SPR meeting and the SPR International Networking Forum (to be held before the poster session on May 26, 2020).
  • Be a citizen or permanent resident of a country other than the United States.
  • Be the first author of the submitted poster abstract (also refer to Binational Research Teams) or
  • If the primary abstract author is a U.S. citizen and part of a binational research team (and thus ineligible for a travel award), the research team may nominate one of the foreign abstract authors who is part of the foreign investigative team for a travel award. The foreign abstract author must be a citizen or permanent resident of a country other than the United States and both the U.S. primary author and the foreign author must intend to participate fully in the NIDA International SPR Poster Session, the SPR International Networking Forum, and the full SPR meeting.

When travel award selections are made, priority will be given to applicants who are:

  • Drug use prevention, drug and alcohol use prevention, or drug/alcohol related-HIV/AIDS prevention researchers supported by NIDA.
  • Abstracts focusing only on alcohol will not be considered for a travel award.
  • Alumni of NIDA-supported research training or exchange programs.
  • Citizens or permanent residents of low- and middle-income countries (as identified by the World Bank’s most current Classification of Economies).

Note: Applicants may not have received travel support from the NIDA International Program between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020.

International travel award amounts are based on an applicant’s residency:

North America (non-U.S. citizens)     $500USD

Outside of North America                 $1,000USD

Applicants who accept a travel award to participate in the 2020 NIDA International SPR Poster Session will not be eligible to receive a travel award for the 2020 NIDA International Forum at the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) Conference; however, applicants are encouraged to participate in both the NIDA International SPR Poster Session and the NIDA International Forum.
