Opportunity Summary:
The Alcohol Use Disorders Treatment, Services Research, and Recovery (R21) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-10-102) is a discretionary NIH grant announcement led by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). It supports exploratory and developmental research aimed at improving how alcohol use disorders (AUD) are treated, how AUD services are delivered, and how recovery from AUD is understood and supported. The focus is on innovative, early-stage ideas that may be high-impact but not yet ready for larger, definitive trials, which is consistent with the R21 mechanism.
The scientific scope centers on three broad areas. First, it encourages studies on behavioral and pharmacological treatments for AUD, including new approaches, adaptations of existing interventions, and research that can clarify how and for whom treatments work. Second, it invites services research examining organizational, financial, and management factors that either help or hinder the real-world delivery of AUD services. This can include questions related to how programs are structured, how care is coordinated, how funding and reimbursement shape access and quality, and how administrative or workforce practices influence outcomes. Third, it explicitly supports research on recovery as a phenomenon, meaning applications can investigate pathways to recovery, supports that sustain recovery over time, and the broader systems and environments that affect recovery experiences and outcomes.
This FOA uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) award mechanism. In practical terms, that means the program is intended for projects that generate foundational evidence, develop or refine methods, pilot test interventions or service models, or produce preliminary data that can position a future, larger study. The announcement also notes that it runs in parallel with two companion opportunities of the same scientific scope: PA-10-100 for the R01 mechanism (typically larger, more mature research projects) and PA-10-101 for the R03 mechanism (often smaller, limited-scope projects). Applicants should interpret this as a sign that NIH is supporting a pipeline of projects at different stages of maturity, with PA-10-102 serving the exploratory middle ground.
Funding levels and the number of awards are not fixed in advance because NIAAA expects wide variation in what applicants propose. The size, duration, and total number of awards depend on the mix of applications received, including their quality, scientific merit, proposed budgets, and project periods. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for organizations that may not have flexible funds to contribute to the project.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of institutions and organizations. Eligible applicants include state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exceptions and distinctions in the listing); small businesses; other for-profit organizations (besides small businesses); and tribal governments and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribes and other tribal entities. The eligibility language also explicitly includes a wide range of mission-focused and community-anchored institutions and organizations, such as faith-based and community-based organizations, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non-U.S. (foreign) entities. This breadth signals that NIAAA is open to research led by academic, clinical, community, governmental, and international partners, as long as the proposed work fits the program goals and meets NIH requirements.
Administrative details in the source record indicate it falls under the Health funding activity category and the CFDA program number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). Key dates listed include the original posting date (March 17, 2010), with later creation/record dates reflected in the archive information. The record shows a current closing date of March 29, 2013 (with an original closing date of May 7, 2013) and an archive date of April 29, 2013, indicating that this specific listing is historical rather than currently open. Applicants looking for a current equivalent would typically search NIH/NIAAA for active FOAs covering AUD treatment, services research, and recovery under R21 or related mechanisms.

Which NIH activity code/mechanism does this FOA use?
This FOA uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award mechanism (R21). The R21 is designed for innovative, early-stage projects that are not yet ready for larger, more definitive trials.
What types of projects is the R21 mechanism meant to support under this FOA?
The FOA is intended for projects that generate foundational evidence, develop or refine methods, pilot test interventions or service models, or produce preliminary data that could support a future, larger study.
What is the overall scientific focus of PA-10-102?
The scientific scope spans three broad areas: (1) behavioral and pharmacological treatments for AUD, (2) services research on the delivery and organization of AUD services, and (3) recovery research examining pathways, supports, and systems that shape recovery experiences and outcomes.
Does the FOA support research on behavioral and pharmacological treatments for AUD?
Yes. The FOA encourages studies on behavioral and pharmacological treatments, including new approaches, adaptations of existing interventions, and research that clarifies how treatments work and for whom they work.
