Eleven research institutions in 11 states will receive more than $6 million in federal funding from fiscal year 2010 to support research on substance abuse

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes

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.
