Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 12 237) is a discretionary NIH grant program designed to keep valuable, shared alcohol research resources up and running when typical funding paths are no longer practical. In alcohol-related research, investigators sometimes create tools, services, datasets, specimen collections, laboratories, or other infrastructure that end up being used well beyond the original project and benefit a much broader community of scientists. These resources are often shared both within the developer's institution and with outside institutions, and over time they can become important community assets rather than project-specific components.
The main purpose of this R24 mechanism is to provide continued support for maintaining and operating those kinds of widely used resources in situations where support through a standard NIH research project grant (R01) or through the core funding of an Alcohol Research Center (P50) is not feasible. The announcement highlights a couple of common scenarios that can trigger this need. One is when outside demand grows so large that the developer cannot reasonably cover the costs of distributing, servicing, curating, or operating the resource within the budget and scope of an individual R01 or a P50 core. Another is when the original developers no longer need the resource as intensively themselves (for example, the originating project has shifted directions), yet many other investigators still rely on it and would be negatively affected if it were discontinued. In other words, the R24 is aimed at preventing high-value community research resources from degrading or disappearing simply because their support no longer fits cleanly into project-based or center-based funding.
Administratively, this is a grant funding instrument under the NIH CFDA listing 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). It does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted July 12, 2012, with an original closing date of September 7, 2015, but it is now archived (archive date September 7, 2013), and the source data lists a current closing date of August 7, 2013. Practically speaking, that means this specific announcement is no longer open for applications, though the concept may reappear under newer NIH notices or related mechanisms.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and includes many types of domestic entities that could host and operate a shared alcohol research resource. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including county and city or township governments), special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. It also includes nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception category in the listing), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Tribal eligibility is also included, covering federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities. The eligibility notes further clarify that additional eligible applicants include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the program explicitly excludes foreign institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations, and it does not allow foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
Overall, the R24 Alcohol Research Resource Awards opportunity is best understood as a community-infrastructure sustainment mechanism for alcohol research: it is intended to preserve, maintain, and support access to research resources that have grown beyond the needs and capacities of the original project, ensuring that the broader research community can continue to use them effectively even when R01- or P50-based support no longer fits.

FAQs: Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) - PAR-12-237 (Archived)
What is the Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) opportunity?
The Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-12-237) is a discretionary NIH grant program intended to provide continued support for maintaining and operating valuable, shared alcohol research resources when typical NIH funding paths are no longer practical.
What is the main purpose of this R24 mechanism?
The core purpose is to keep widely used alcohol research resources up and running so they do not degrade or disappear simply because ongoing support no longer fits well within a standard NIH research project grant (R01) or the core funding structure of an Alcohol Research Center (P50).
What kinds of resources does this opportunity support?
This opportunity focuses on shared alcohol research resources that have demonstrated broader community value beyond the originating project. Examples described include tools, services, datasets, specimen collections, laboratories, and other infrastructure used by investigators within the developer's institution and by investigators at outside institutions.
Who typically creates the resources that may be supported by an R24?
The resource is often created by investigators as part of an original research effort, but later becomes a community asset because it is used well beyond the original project and benefits a much broader scientific community.
Why would a resource need R24 support instead of an R01?
The announcement describes situations where the costs and scope of operating or distributing a widely used resource can exceed what is reasonable to cover within an individual R01 budget and project scope, particularly when external demand grows substantially.
Why would a resource need R24 support instead of support from a P50 Alcohol Research Center core?
The R24 is meant for scenarios where support through the core funding of an Alcohol Research Center (P50) is not feasible, including cases where the resource has become a broader community asset whose servicing, curation, or operation no longer fits cleanly into a center core structure.
What are common scenarios that trigger the need for this R24 award?
The opportunity highlights two common scenarios: (1) outside demand becomes so large that the developer cannot reasonably cover distribution, servicing, curation, or operating costs within an R01 or P50 core; and (2) the original developers no longer need the resource as intensively themselves, but many other investigators still rely on it and would be negatively impacted if it were discontinued.
Is this award aimed at creating new resources or maintaining existing ones?
Based on the description provided, the emphasis is on continued support for maintaining and operating existing, widely used shared resources that already function as community infrastructure rather than project-specific components.
How does NIH describe the overall role of this R24 opportunity in alcohol research?
It is described as a community-infrastructure sustainment mechanism for alcohol research, intended to preserve access to high-value research resources that have grown beyond the needs and capacities of the original project.
What is the CFDA listing associated with this program?
The opportunity is listed under NIH CFDA 93.273, Alcohol Research Programs.
Does the program require cost sharing or matching funds?
No. The opportunity explicitly states that it does not require cost sharing or matching.
Is this specific funding opportunity currently open for applications?
No. The announcement is archived. It was posted on July 12, 2012, and while an original closing date of September 7, 2015 is mentioned, the archive date is September 7, 2013 and the source data lists a current closing date of August 7, 2013. Practically, this means this specific announcement is no longer open for applications.
What do the listed dates mean for potential applicants today?
The dates indicate that PAR-12-237 is no longer an active application opportunity. The description notes that the underlying concept may reappear under newer NIH notices or related mechanisms, but this specific archived announcement should not be treated as open.
What types of U.S. organizations are eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations.
