Using funds from the I-502 Dedicated Marijuana Fund intended for marijuana research at the University of Washington, ADAI awarded eight marijuana research grants during the last two grant cycles. The goal of the Small Grant program is to stimulate research by providing initial funding for promising pilot projects which may ultimately be developed into full research studies with outside grant support.
