The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded Arizona State University-Tempe Campus $730,989 to build a prevention program aimed at reducing substance use risk among children with incarcerated parents, according to the NIH ExPORTER public grant database.
Principal investigator Cady Berkel leads the project, titled "Caring for the Caregivers: A Community-Developed Program to Prevent Substance Use for Children with Incarcerated Parents." The award carries project number 1R34DA064351-01 and runs June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2028.
The R34 designation marks this as a planning and pilot-development grant, a smaller precursor award NIDA uses to test feasibility before committing to a full R01. At $730,989 over two years, the award falls below the typical R01 range.
The grant is one of several NIH awards flowing to Arizona universities in the current funding cycle. ASU's Tempe campus separately received $436,228 from the National Institute on Aging for GLP-1 receptor research, also beginning June 2026, per NIH ExPORTER records.
The project period closes May 31, 2028.
