Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Additional Research Training Positions for NIAAA, NIDA, or NCI Supported NRSA Institutional Training (T32) Grants (Admin Supp)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 14-146), is a National Institutes of Health administrative supplement program designed to add extra trainee slots to existing institutional Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) T32 training grants. The main purpose is to expand the research training workforce in areas that advance the goals of the Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH (CRAN), with an emphasis on research topics that cut across the traditional boundaries of tobacco, alcohol, and other substance use, abuse, and addiction, along with their related health consequences. In practical terms, NIH is using administrative supplements as a faster mechanism to strengthen already-successful training programs, rather than creating entirely new training awards from scratch.
The supplement is specifically aimed at institutions that already hold active T32 awards supported by one of three NIH Institutes: the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), or the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The goal is to fund additional research training positions for up to three years, allowing these programs to bring in more trainees than their current slot limits would otherwise permit. Because the intent is expansion of capacity, the program is meant for T32s with a strong track record, especially those that consistently fill their existing trainee positions and can show solid outcomes for past trainees (for example, successful transitions into research careers, publications, subsequent grant support, or other indicators typically used to demonstrate training effectiveness).
From a topical standpoint, the announcement highlights "areas of mutual interest" among NIAAA, NIDA, and NCI. That matters because these Institutes overlap on several addiction-related health issues, particularly where tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs intersect with disease burdens such as cancer and other major health consequences. The opportunity is therefore oriented toward training proposals that are meaningfully cross-cutting, such as research that spans multiple substances, shared mechanisms of addiction, comorbidity patterns, prevention and cessation, or biological, behavioral, clinical, and population-level impacts that connect substance use to broader health outcomes.
Administratively, this is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity with an education and health focus. It is tied to CFDA numbers 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs), 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), and 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), reflecting the three participating Institutes and the workforce development emphasis. The award ceiling listed is $150,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to contribute a defined financial match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization type, but it is constrained by the key requirement that the applicant must be an eligible institution that already has a qualifying NIAAA-, NIDA-, or NCI-supported NRSA T32 training grant. The announcement lists a wide range of eligible applicants, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also listed), state, county, city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, and certain tribal and housing authorities. It also explicitly includes many institution types commonly referenced in federal eligibility language, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and U.S. territories or possessions where applicable.
At the same time, the opportunity clearly excludes non-U.S. participation in several ways. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. Foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. This keeps both the applicant organization and the supported training activity within allowable domestic boundaries for this particular supplement.
The posting date for this opportunity was March 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2014, and an archive date of May 10, 2014, indicating that the announcement is historical and no longer open for application. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the full announcement was made available through the NIH Grants Guide (link provided in the source data). For access or technical issues with the electronic posting, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, PA 14-146 is best understood as a targeted expansion tool: it offers time-limited supplemental funds to high-performing, already-funded NRSA T32 programs so they can train additional researchers in addiction-related areas that span alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, aligning training capacity with CRAN priorities across NIAAA, NIDA, and NCI.
