    The National Institute on Drug Abuse announced several closed virtual meetings to review and evaluate grant applications. These meetings are part of its efforts related to the HEAL Initiative focused on ending the overdose crisis, research on the impact of structural racism on substance use, and developing digital therapies for substance use disorders. Due to the sensitivity of the information discussed, such as trade secrets and personal information, these meetings are not open to the public. The meetings are scheduled for January 23-24, February 3, and February 5, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Institute on Drug Abuse is having special online meetings in early 2025 to talk about important medicine projects, but they won't let anyone else listen in because they need to keep some secrets safe. They are looking at ways to stop drug overdoses and fix problems like racism in health, but they don't say much about how they decide which projects are the best.
