Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Education Project Grants (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 11-205) is a discretionary NIH grant program administered by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). It is designed to support education-focused projects that help spread and apply the knowledge generated by alcohol research, especially in the context of training and educating health professionals. The core idea behind this announcement is that NIAAA not only funds research on alcoholism and other alcohol-related problems, but also places real emphasis on making sure what is learned through that research reaches the people who can use it in practice, teaching, and public-facing service settings.
NIAAA's broader mission area, as reflected in the announcement, spans research aimed at understanding the biological and behavioral mechanisms involved in the development, expression, and consequences of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems. In addition, the Institute supports prevention research, treatment research, and health services research related to alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorder. This particular funding opportunity fits into the "dissemination and education" side of that mission by supporting projects that improve alcohol education within the health professions. In practical terms, that means proposals are expected to focus on educational activities that translate evidence and scientific understanding about alcohol into improved training, curricula, or other structured learning efforts for the health workforce.
The announcement frames dissemination broadly, identifying a range of audiences NIAAA aims to reach with up-to-date alcohol research knowledge. These audiences include scientists and educators, clinicians and other health or social service providers, patients and families, professionals working in the criminal justice system, and the general public. While that list is broad, the specific emphasis in this FOA is alcohol education in health professions, and the R25 mechanism is NIH's education grant mechanism, typically used to develop or enhance educational programs rather than to conduct traditional hypothesis-driven research projects.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the Health funding activity category. The CFDA number associated with it is 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). The posting date for the opportunity was April 20, 2011, with later record dates indicating the listing was created April 14, 2014. The original closing date was May 7, 2014, with a current closing date listed as September 7, 2014, and an archive date of October 7, 2014. The listed award ceiling is $250,000. The announcement also explicitly notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to commit non-federal dollars as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and spans many types of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts, along with public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Higher education institutions are eligible, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. A wide range of nonprofit organizations may apply, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (with the caveat that the announcement distinguishes these categories and excludes institutions of higher education from the nonprofit-status distinction). For-profit organizations other than small businesses are eligible, and small businesses are also listed as eligible.
The eligibility details further expand the list to include specific institution types and community-based entities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, and regional organizations. Tribal entities are included in multiple forms, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations other than federally recognized governments, as well as Indian/Native American tribal governments in the "other than federally recognized" category. U.S. territories or possessions are also listed as eligible. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed, which is an important boundary for universities or nonprofits that might otherwise involve overseas partners or program components.
In short, PAR 11-205 is an NIH/NIAAA education grant opportunity intended to strengthen alcohol-related education efforts, particularly for the health professions, by supporting structured educational projects that help disseminate alcohol research knowledge to the people who need it in training and practice. It offers up to $250,000 per award, does not require matching funds, and is open to a wide mix of U.S. government entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, and certain for-profit organizations, while excluding foreign applicants and foreign project components. The full announcement is referenced via the NIH grants guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-205.html), and technical access issues are directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact listed in the notice.
