The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes
of Health, is collaborating with the Department of Veterans Affairs, to award
grants that will examine substance abuse related to deployment and combat related

National Cancer Institute (NCI) are also NIH partners in this endeavor. NIH is
awarding more than $4 million in grant funding; the VA, around $2 million.
