(a) Authority

    The Director of the Institute may designate National Drug Abuse 
Research Centers for the purpose of interdisciplinary research relating 
to drug abuse and other biomedical, behavioral, and social issues 
related to drug abuse. No entity may be designated as a Center unless an 
application therefore has been submitted to, and approved by, the 
Secretary. Such an application shall be submitted in such manner and 
contain such information as the Secretary may reasonably require. The 
Secretary may not approve such an application unless--
        (1) the application contains or is supported by reasonable 
    assurances that--
            (A) the applicant has the experience, or capability, to 
        conduct, through biomedical, behavioral, social, and related 
        disciplines, long-term research on drug abuse and to provide 
        coordination of such research among such disciplines;
            (B) the applicant has available to it sufficient facilities 
        (including laboratory, reference, and data analysis facilities) 
        to carry out the research plan contained in the application;
            (C) the applicant has facilities and personnel to provide 
        training in the prevention and treatment of drug abuse;
            (D) the applicant has the capacity to train predoctoral and 
        postdoctoral students for careers in research on drug abuse;
            (E) the applicant has the capacity to conduct courses on 
        drug abuse problems and research on drug abuse for undergraduate 
        and graduate students, and medical and osteopathic, nursing, 
        social work, and other specialized graduate students; and
            (F) the applicant has the capacity to conduct programs of 
        continuing education in such medical, legal, and social service 
        fields as the Secretary may require.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. The period probably should be ``; and''.

        (2) the application contains a detailed five-year plan for 
    research relating to drug abuse.

(b) Grants

    The Director of the Institute shall, under such conditions as the 
Secretary may reasonably require, make annual grants to Centers which 
have been designated under this section. No funds provided under a grant 
under this subsection may be used for the purchase of any land or the 
purchase, construction, preservation, or repair of any building. For the 
purposes of the preceding sentence, the term ``construction'' has the 
meaning given that term by section 292a(1) \2\ of this title.
