Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Education Project Grants (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-054) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program administered through the NIH Research Education Program (R25) and aligned with the mission of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The core purpose of this initiative is educational rather than traditional hypothesis-driven research: it is designed to strengthen understanding of biomedical, behavioral, and clinical alcohol-related research and to improve how that knowledge is developed, taught, and translated into practice. In practical terms, the program supports structured research education activities that help audiences better interpret alcohol science and its implications for health, prevention, treatment, and clinical decision-making.
NIAAA emphasizes that funded projects should be creative and education-focused, with a primary concentration on two major activity types: Curriculum or Methods Development and Outreach activities for Health Professionals. Curriculum or methods development can include building or modernizing training content, instructional approaches, learning modules, or other educational tools that improve how alcohol-related science is communicated and learned. Outreach to health professionals is meant to expand the reach of alcohol research education into the clinical and public health workforce, helping practitioners understand current evidence, apply research findings appropriately, and stay current with advances relevant to patient care and population health. The overarching goal is to develop stronger research literacy and research-informed practice related to alcohol use, alcohol-related disorders, and their broader health impacts.
This program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can reduce barriers for organizations that may not have discretionary resources to contribute. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $250,000, indicating a maximum funding level per award under the terms of the announcement. The funding activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). The posted and creation dates are November 26, 2014, and the opportunity’s closing date was January 7, 2018, with an archive date of February 7, 2018, meaning the specific announcement is no longer open for new applications under that cycle.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, state and local governments (including city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, and state governments), and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The opportunity also includes nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. In addition, the eligibility language explicitly extends to various mission-focused and community-anchored institutions and organizations, 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 or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. While tribal governments and tribal organizations are included among eligible applicants, the notice also makes clear restrictions regarding foreign involvement: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
