Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Use Disorders Behavioral Treatment, Services and Recovery Research (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 15-299) was a discretionary National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program under the health funding activity area (CFDA 93.273, Alcohol Research Programs). It invited research proposals aimed at improving understanding of, and outcomes from, behavioral treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUD). The announcement emphasized three broad and connected themes: research on behavioral interventions for AUD, research on the real-world delivery of AUD services, and research on the process and long-term phenomenon of recovery from AUD. In practice, this meant NIH was looking for studies that not only test or refine behavioral treatment approaches, but also examine the system-level conditions that determine whether effective care is actually available, sustained, and delivered with quality in routine settings.
A major focus of the FOA was the “services” side of AUD care, particularly organizational, financial, and management factors that either support or block effective treatment delivery. This includes questions about how programs are structured, staffed, financed, and managed; how organizations adopt evidence-based practices; and how policy and reimbursement realities shape what services are offered and to whom. The FOA’s framing signals interest in implementation and services research that connects clinical effectiveness to practical delivery, such as understanding barriers to access, continuity of care, integration with other healthcare or behavioral health services, workforce and training issues, and the administrative and financing mechanisms that influence treatment availability and quality.
Another central pillar was recovery research. Rather than treating recovery as a single endpoint, the FOA highlighted recovery as a phenomenon to be studied, which commonly involves looking at recovery trajectories over time, factors that predict sustained improvement, relapse and remission patterns, and the supports that help people maintain gains after treatment. This can include research on continuing care, recovery support services, and the broader personal and environmental conditions that contribute to long-term functioning and well-being for individuals with alcohol use disorders.
The funding instrument was the NIH R01, meaning it was intended for substantial, hypothesis-driven projects with a clear research plan and significant scientific scope. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. It was posted July 17, 2015, with an original and current closing date listed as September 7, 2018, and it was archived October 8, 2018. While the FOA is no longer open, its details are preserved in the NIH grants archive, and the full announcement was available through the NIH Grants Guide at the link provided in the source data.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive, covering many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants included small businesses; for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; public and private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; independent school districts; local governments (city/township, county, special district); state governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and additional categories such as faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and regional organizations. The FOA also explicitly included a range of minority-serving institutions (for example, HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISISs, TCCUs, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions), as well as foreign (non-U.S.) entities and eligible federal government agencies. This wide eligibility reflects an intent to attract research proposals from academic centers, healthcare and community-based systems, policy and services researchers, and organizations directly engaged in treatment and recovery support.
