Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Use Disorders Treatment, Services Research, and Recovery (R03) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-215) is a discretionary grant program from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It is designed to support research that improves understanding of how alcohol use disorders (AUD) are treated and how recovery happens in real-world settings. The program is centered on three broad areas: (1) behavioral and pharmacological treatment for AUD, (2) the organizational, financial, and management conditions that either help or hinder the delivery of AUD services, and (3) the processes and outcomes associated with recovery from AUD. In practical terms, the FOA encourages projects that can generate useful evidence about what works in treatment, why certain services do or do not reach people who need them, and what factors shape sustained recovery.
This FOA uses the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) mechanism, which is specifically intended for smaller, tightly focused studies that can be completed in a relatively short timeframe with limited resources. The R03 mechanism commonly supports pilot and feasibility studies, secondary analyses of existing datasets, small self-contained research projects, and work that develops or refines research methods or technologies. Because of its scale and structure, this mechanism is often used to test an idea, produce preliminary findings, or develop an approach that could later be expanded into a larger study. The announcement notes that this R03 opportunity runs in parallel with an R01 announcement of identical scientific scope (PA-07-066), which is the traditional NIH mechanism for larger, more comprehensive research projects. Applicants with a concept that is promising but not yet ready for a full-scale trial or multi-site effort would typically look to the R03 as a more appropriate entry point.
Eligibility under this opportunity is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, and special districts), independent school districts, public housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The FOA also specifies that foreign institutions are eligible to apply, that eligible federal agencies may apply, and that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible as well. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to match the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Health and is associated with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). The FOA was posted on February 13, 2007, and it used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, with applicants directed to the full announcement for the specific schedule. While the listing includes archival information indicating it was archived on April 16, 2010, the core description reflects the intent and scope of the program: to generate actionable research on AUD treatment and services delivery, along with a clearer picture of recovery, using the smaller, faster-moving R03 format.
The full announcement was made available through the NIH Grants Guide (link provided in the source text). For technical issues accessing or linking to the notice, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It supports research designed to improve understanding of how alcohol use disorders (AUD) are treated and how recovery unfolds in real-world settings.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) for this program?
The Funding Opportunity Number is PA-07-215.
Which federal agency and institute sponsor this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
What is the main purpose of this FOA?
The FOA aims to generate actionable research evidence about what works in AUD treatment, why some services do or do not reach people who need them, and which factors shape sustained recovery in real-world contexts.
What research topics does the FOA prioritize?
The FOA is centered on three broad areas:
- Behavioral and pharmacological treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUD)
- Organizational, financial, and management conditions that help or hinder delivery of AUD services

What types of projects are typically appropriate for an NIH R03 grant?
The R03 mechanism commonly supports:
- Pilot and feasibility studies
- Secondary analyses of existing datasets
- Small, self-contained research projects
- Development or refinement of research methods or technologies
How does the R03 mechanism differ from an R01 in this research area?
The R03 is designed for smaller, shorter, and more focused studies, often used to test an idea or produce preliminary findings that could later support a larger effort. The FOA notes a parallel R01 announcement of identical scientific scope (PA-07-066), which is the traditional NIH mechanism for larger, more comprehensive projects.
Is there a related R01 opportunity with the same scientific scope?
Yes. The FOA notes that this R03 opportunity runs in parallel with an R01 announcement of identical scientific scope: PA-07-066.

What kinds of outcomes is this program trying to support?
Based on the FOA description, the program is intended to support research that produces useful evidence about:
- Effective approaches to treating AUD (behavioral and/or pharmacological)
- How organizational, financial, and management conditions affect service delivery
- How recovery happens and what processes and outcomes are associated with sustained recovery
When might an applicant choose the R03 rather than the parallel R01?
An applicant might look to the R03 when the concept is promising but not yet ready for a full-scale trial or a multi-site effort, and when a smaller, faster-moving study is the best fit to test an idea, establish feasibility, or generate preliminary findings.
