Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Use Disorders Treatment, Services, and Recovery Research (R03) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-162) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to support small, focused research projects on alcohol use disorders (AUD). It emphasized generating practical evidence that can improve how AUD is treated and how services are delivered, while also strengthening the scientific understanding of recovery. The mechanism used was the NIH R03, which is typically meant for pilot work, discrete exploratory studies, secondary analyses, or early-stage investigations that can quickly answer targeted questions and set up larger future projects.
The scope of the research encouraged by the announcement covered three main areas. First, it supported studies on behavioral and pharmacological treatments for alcohol use disorders, which can include testing or refining counseling approaches, brief interventions, medication-related questions, or strategies that combine psychosocial and medication-based care. Second, it encouraged research on organizational, financial, and management factors that either help or hinder the real-world delivery of AUD services. In practice, that can involve studying workflow and staffing models, reimbursement and financing barriers, implementation challenges, program administration, and systems-level issues that affect access, quality, and continuity of care. Third, it highlighted the phenomenon of recovery from alcohol use disorders, signaling interest in research that examines how recovery happens, what supports it over time, and what service models or community resources are associated with sustained improvement.
From an administrative standpoint, this was classified under the Health funding activity category and aligned with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity was $50,000, consistent with the small-grant nature of the R03 mechanism and its intent to fund limited-scope projects rather than large multi-site trials.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of U.S. organizations as well as certain non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those categories where specified), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Government entities were also eligible, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, public and Indian housing authorities, and certain federal agencies. The announcement also explicitly recognized a wide range of mission- or population-focused institutions and organizations as eligible, including 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 tribal governments and tribal organizations in several categories. It also listed U.S. territories or possessions and regional organizations, and it allowed non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) to apply, reflecting NIH's broader interest in advancing generalizable knowledge even when some work occurs outside the United States.
Key timeline details show that the opportunity was posted and created on March 28, 2013, with an original and final listed closing date of May 7, 2016, and an archive date of June 7, 2016. In other words, this was an active funding announcement for several years and is now archived, but the summary still reflects what NIH sought to fund during that period. For applicants or researchers looking for the historical record or specifics beyond the overview, the full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants website, and technical issues with access or linking were routed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
