Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 13 319) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to keep valuable, shared alcohol-research resources available to the broader scientific community when traditional funding mechanisms are no longer a good fit. The central idea is that alcohol-related research sometimes produces specialized resources (for example, unique datasets, repositories, tools, services, or other research-enabling infrastructure) that become widely used beyond the original lab or institution that created them. These resources can end up supporting many independent projects and investigators, including researchers at outside institutions, and the NIH recognizes that keeping such community resources operational can become difficult if their ongoing maintenance is tied only to a single investigator's R01 research aims or to the core funding structure of an Alcohol Research Center (P50).
This R24 is meant for situations where continued support through an R01 or a P50 core is not feasible or no longer appropriate, even though the resource remains important and in active demand. A key example given in the announcement is when outside use grows to the point that the originating investigator's R01 budget or the institution's P50 capacity cannot reasonably cover the increased workload, distribution, support, or maintenance needs. Another common scenario is that the team who originally developed the resource may no longer need it as heavily for their own research direction, yet many other investigators still rely on it and benefit from its continued availability. In that sense, the R24 mechanism functions as a way to sustain and manage research-enabling assets that have matured into community resources, rather than forcing them to remain dependent on a single project grant or center structure that may not match the resource's real-world usage.
From an administrative standpoint, the program is listed under CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). It does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted on August 6, 2013, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2016, and it was archived on October 8, 2016. While archived opportunities are no longer accepting applications, the details still reflect how NIH framed the purpose, eligible applicants, and policy boundaries for this specific resource-focused mechanism.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and a wide range of government bodies (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts). The eligibility list also explicitly includes certain institution types and community-serving 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), along with faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the program clearly restricts foreign participation: non-U.S. entities 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.
Overall, PAR 13 319 positions the R24 Alcohol Research Resource Award as a practical solution for sustaining high-value alcohol research resources that serve the wider field, especially when they have outgrown the support capacity or relevance of standard project grants or center cores. The emphasis is on keeping shared resources accessible and functional for both internal and external users so that the broader alcohol research community can continue to benefit from tools and infrastructure that would be difficult to replace or recreate. For full program text and historical requirements, NIH pointed applicants to the archived funding announcement page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-319.html and provided the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster email for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) - PAR-13-319
What is the Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) opportunity?
The Alcohol Research Resource Awards (R24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 13 319) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program intended to help keep valuable, shared alcohol-research resources available to the broader scientific community when other NIH funding mechanisms are no longer a good fit.
What is the main purpose of this R24 program?
The purpose is to sustain alcohol-related research resources that have become widely used by many investigators, including users outside the originating lab or institution, and that require ongoing support for maintenance, distribution, user support, or other operational needs.
What kinds of resources does this R24 aim to support?
The announcement describes specialized, shared research-enabling resources such as unique datasets, repositories, tools, services, or other infrastructure that support alcohol-related research and are used broadly beyond the original developers.
Why would an R24 be used instead of an R01?
This R24 is meant for situations where continued support through an R01 is not feasible or no longer appropriate, even though the resource remains important and in active demand. One example given is when outside use grows so much that an investigator's R01 budget cannot reasonably cover increased workload, distribution, support, or maintenance.
Why would an R24 be used instead of a P50 Alcohol Research Center core?
The opportunity is positioned for cases where support through a P50 core is not feasible or appropriate, such as when the resource has outgrown the P50 core's capacity or when the center core structure no longer matches how the community relies on the resource.
What problem is NIH trying to solve with this mechanism?
NIH is addressing the challenge that some alcohol-research resources mature into community resources used by many independent projects and investigators, making them difficult to sustain if funding remains tied to a single investigator's research aims (R01) or a center core structure (P50) that may not reflect real-world, broad usage.
What are examples of situations where this R24 would be a good fit?
Examples described include (1) when demand from outside users increases to the point that the originating investigator's R01 budget or a P50 core cannot cover ongoing workload and support, and (2) when the original developers no longer need the resource as heavily for their own research direction, but many other investigators still rely on it.
Does the R24 focus on sustaining community resources rather than funding new research projects?
Yes. The emphasis described is on sustaining and managing research-enabling assets that have matured into shared community resources, so they remain accessible and functional for internal and external users.
Is this program part of a specific federal assistance listing?
Yes. The program is listed under CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs).
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The opportunity states that it does not require cost sharing or matching.
When was this funding opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on August 6, 2013.
What were the closing dates for PAR-13-319?
The original and final closing date listed was September 7, 2016.
Is this funding opportunity still open?
No. The opportunity was archived on October 8, 2016, and archived opportunities are no longer accepting applications.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and many types of government bodies (state, county, city/township, special district, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts).
Are specific institution types and community-serving organizations included in eligibility?
Yes. The eligibility list explicitly includes 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). It also includes faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions.
Are foreign organizations eligible to apply?
No. The opportunity restricts foreign participation: non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply.
Can a U.S. organization apply if the work is done by a non-U.S. component of that organization?
No. Non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
Are foreign components allowed under NIH policy for this opportunity?
No. Foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed under this program.
What is the overarching goal of PAR-13-319 as described?
The overarching goal is to keep high-value alcohol research resources accessible and functional for the broader field, especially when those resources would be difficult to replace or recreate and when they have outgrown or outlasted traditional support structures.
