NIDA支持并开展广泛的临床前，临床和人群水平研究，以解决有关药物使用和健康的关键问题。然后，NIDA将其支持的研究的主要发现传播给公众，卫生专业人员，研究人员，政策制定者和其他利益相关者。以便推进有关吸毒和成瘾的科学研究，并应用这些知识来改善个人和公共卫生。

为了更好地进行研究，NIDA的组成部门如下所示：

三个办事处：国家艾滋病规划署署长办公室，管理办公室，科学政策与传播办公室；

六个部门/中心：校内研究计划，临床试验网络中心，流行病学、服务和预防研究司，校外研究部，神经科学，行为学部，治疗和医疗后果司；

七个跨领域研究团队、工作组、利益集团和财团：分析跨领域团队，大脑发育研究联盟，大麻科学兴趣（CSI）小组，遗传学和表观遗传学交叉研究团队，尼古丁和烟草研究小组，国家雷达-尼亚科学院神经科学工作组，女性 / 性别/性别差异研究小组；

一个顾问委员会：国家药物滥用问题咨询委员会。

Founded in 1974 and directed by Nora Volko, MD since 2003, the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) is a federal scientific institute and the world's largest funder of biomedical research on drug use and addiction. It is one of 27 institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health and is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

NIDA supports and conducts extensive preclinical, clinical, and population-level research to address critical issues related to drug use and health. NIDA then disseminates key findings from the research it supports to the public, health professionals, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders. In order to advance scientific research on drug use and addiction and to apply this knowledge to improve personal and public health.

To better conduct research, the NIDA constituent divisions are as follows:

Three offices: Office of the Director of the National AIDS Programme, Office of Management, Office of Science Policy and Communication;

Six departments/centers: Intramural Research Program, Clinical Trials Network Center, Division of Epidemiology, Services and Preventive Research, Department of Extramural Research, Neuroscience, Faculty of Behavior, Department of Therapeutic and Medical Outcomes;

Seven cross-disciplinary research teams, working groups, interest groups, and consortiums: Analytical Interdisciplinary Team, Brain Development Research Consortium, Cannabis Science Interest (CSI) Group, Interdisciplinary Research Team in Genetics and Epigenetics, Nicotine and Tobacco Research Group, National Radar-NIA Academy of Sciences Neuroscience Working Group, Women/Sex/Gender Differences Research Group;

An advisory board: the National Advisory Committee on Drug Abuse.
